TE Connectivity 1-2324201-2 Rectangular Connector Housing - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 1-2324201-2 is a 12-position rectangular connector housing designed for free-hanging, in-line applications. This receptacle housing accommodates male pin contacts with a 0.098" (2.50mm) pitch and dual-row configuration. The part is manufactured from polyamide (PA66) nylon material and operates across a temperature range of -55°C to 105°C. The connector features a latch lock fastening mechanism and crimp-style contact termination. This part is active in production and RoHS compliant. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are required but alternative packaging, color specifications, or inventory considerations necessitate component alternatives.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of rectangular connector housings within the Economy Power 2.5 series is determined by strict equivalence of electrical and mechanical parameters. The following parameters must remain identical for functional interchangeability:

• Connector type (receptacle)
• Contact type (male pin)
• Number of positions (12)
• Pitch specification (0.098" / 2.50mm)
• Number of rows (2)
• Row spacing (0.098" / 2.50mm)
• Mounting configuration (free hanging, in-line)
• Contact termination method (crimp)
• Fastening mechanism (latch lock)
• Operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C)
• Series designation (Economy Power 2.5)

Parameters that do not affect functional interchangeability include housing color, packaging format (bag versus bulk), and inventory availability. The substitute part 1-1969592-2 maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters while differing in color specification and packaging configuration.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 1-2324201-2 and 1-1969592-2 are active production parts manufactured by TE Connectivity and maintain full compliance with RoHS regulations. The primary distinction between these parts is housing color (natural versus white) and packaging format (bag versus bulk).

Selection between these parts should be based on:

1. Color Specification Requirements: The main part features natural-colored housing, while the substitute provides white housing. Color selection depends on application-specific requirements or assembly documentation specifications.

2. Packaging and Inventory Considerations: The main part is supplied in bag packaging with 4,940 pieces in stock. The substitute is supplied in bulk packaging with 856 pieces in stock. Packaging selection depends on procurement volume requirements and handling procedures.

3. Regulatory Compliance: Both parts satisfy RoHS compliance requirements. The main part carries RoHS Compliant status, while the substitute carries ROHS3 Compliant status. Both are acceptable for applications requiring RoHS certification.

4. Material Composition: Both parts utilize polyamide nylon insulation materials with equivalent thermal and electrical properties across the specified operating temperature range of -55°C to 105°C.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1-1969592-2 substitute directly replace the 1-2324201-2 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications including connector type, position count, pitch, row configuration, mounting style, contact termination, and fastening mechanism. The substitute part is functionally equivalent for all circuit and mechanical interface requirements.

Q: What is the difference between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are housing color (natural versus white) and packaging format (bag versus bulk). All electrical and mechanical parameters remain identical. The insulation material composition differs slightly (PA66 nylon 6/6 versus PA nylon), but both materials provide equivalent performance across the operating temperature range.

Q: Are there any compatibility issues with contacts or mating connectors?

A: No compatibility issues exist. Both housings accommodate the same male pin contacts and mate with identical plug connectors within the Economy Power 2.5 series. The substitute part note indicates contacts are not included in the package; verify contact availability separately if required.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: Selection depends on specific application requirements. If color specification is not critical and bulk packaging is acceptable, either part is suitable. If natural color is required, the 1-2324201-2 is the appropriate selection. If white color is required, the 1-1969592-2 is the appropriate selection.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The 1-2324201-2 carries RoHS Compliant certification, and the 1-1969592-2 carries ROHS3 Compliant certification. Both parts satisfy RoHS regulatory requirements for applications requiring this compliance.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for both parts?

A: Both parts operate across the identical temperature range of -55°C to 105°C, providing equivalent thermal performance for applications within this specification.

Q: Does the substitute part include contacts?

A: The substitute part 1-1969592-2 is supplied as a housing only. Contacts must be sourced separately. Verify contact availability and specifications for your application requirements.
