Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity 1-282964-2 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Parameters:

• 12-position configuration
• 7.5mm (0.295") pitch spacing
• 15 A current rating (UL)
• 300 V voltage rating (UL)
• Copper alloy contact material
• Tin contact mating finish

Mechanical Parameters:

• Vertical header orientation
• Male pins with 4-side shrouding
• Through-hole solder termination
• 0.138" (3.50mm) contact tail length
• 0.472" (12.00mm) insulation height

Environmental & Compliance Parameters:

• Operating temperature range: -40°C ~ 110°C
• UL94 V-0 flammability rating
• Moisture Sensitivity Level 1
• RoHS compliance

The substitute part 1-1776153-2 maintains full electrical and mechanical compatibility with the original part across all specified parameters. The primary distinction is product status (active versus obsolete) and housing color variation (black versus green), which do not affect functional performance or electrical characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity 1-1776153-2 is a direct functional equivalent to the obsolete 1-282964-2 terminal block header. Selection of the substitute part is based on the following engineering criteria:

Product Status: The substitute part maintains active product status with TE Connectivity, ensuring ongoing availability, technical support, and supply chain continuity. The original part is classified as obsolete, creating supply risk for new production and field service applications.

Electrical Equivalence: Both parts operate at identical electrical specifications: 15 A current rating (UL), 300 V voltage rating (UL), and copper alloy contacts with tin mating finish. No electrical performance degradation occurs with substitution.

Mechanical Compatibility: The substitute part maintains identical mechanical dimensions and configuration: 12 positions, 7.5mm pitch, vertical orientation, male pins with 4-side shrouding, and through-hole solder termination. PCB footprint and mounting compatibility are preserved.

Compliance & Certification: Both parts meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and maintain RoHS compliance. The substitute part carries current RoHS certification status, supporting modern regulatory requirements for new product designs.

Environmental Performance: Operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 110°C) and Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (unlimited shelf life) are identical, ensuring equivalent performance across all specified environmental conditions.

Housing Material: The substitute part uses polyamide (PA) nylon material, functionally equivalent to the original PA66 nylon 6/6 specification. Both materials provide equivalent mechanical strength, thermal stability, and electrical insulation properties for this application.

Color Variation: The substitute part is available in black housing versus the original green. This cosmetic difference does not affect electrical performance, mechanical function, or compliance characteristics.
