Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 1-338070-2 are identified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional compatibility:

Matching Parameters:

• Manufacturer: TE Connectivity AMP Connectors
• Series: Micro-MaTch
• Number of Positions: 12
• Number of Rows: 2
• Board-Side Pitch: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Row Spacing: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Contact Finish: Tin
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Product Status: Active

The substitute part 8-215570-2 shares the same connector family, position count, pitch specifications, and row configuration. Both parts are manufactured by TE Connectivity within the Micro-MaTch series and maintain identical board-side spacing and contact finish specifications. The primary functional difference lies in the connector interface type and cable termination method, which determines application-specific suitability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 1-338070-2 and 8-215570-2 maintain Active product status within the TE Connectivity Micro-MaTch series and satisfy ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected requirements. Selection between these parts is determined by application-specific interface requirements rather than electrical or environmental performance differences.

The 1-338070-2 receptacle connector with solder termination is suitable for applications requiring direct board-to-board or cable-to-board connections with soldered kinked pins. The 8-215570-2 ribbon cable DIP header with IDC termination is suitable for applications utilizing pre-terminated ribbon cables with press-fit board mounting.

Both parts support the same 12-position, 2-row configuration with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch and maintain identical operating temperature ranges and voltage ratings. Component selection depends on whether the application requires a receptacle interface for mating connectors or a ribbon cable header interface for pre-assembled cable harnesses.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 8-215570-2 directly replace the 1-338070-2 in existing designs?

A: Direct replacement depends on application interface requirements. The 1-338070-2 is a receptacle connector designed to mate with a complementary plug connector, while the 8-215570-2 is a ribbon cable DIP header designed to accept pre-terminated ribbon cables. Both share identical board-side pitch and row spacing, but the connector interface type differs. Replacement is possible only if the application can accommodate the different termination method.

Q: Are the pitch specifications identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain a 0.100" (2.54mm) board-side pitch and 0.100" (2.54mm) row spacing. The 8-215570-2 includes an additional 0.050" (1.27mm) cable-side pitch specification for ribbon cable accommodation, which does not affect board-level compatibility.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both the 1-338070-2 and 8-215570-2 are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified as Active products. Both maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity levels and are manufactured by TE Connectivity within the Micro-MaTch series.

Q: What is the difference between solder termination and IDC termination?

A: The 1-338070-2 uses kinked pin solder termination, requiring manual soldering to the PCB. The 8-215570-2 uses IDC (Insulation Displacement Contact) termination, which accepts pre-terminated ribbon cables through a press-fit mounting method. The termination method determines the assembly process and cable interface type.

Q: Are the contact materials the same?

A: Both parts feature tin-plated contacts. The 1-338070-2 specifies phosphor bronze contact material with tin plating. Contact material specifications for the 8-215570-2 are not provided in the available parameters.

Q: What is the wire gauge specification for the 8-215570-2?

A: The 8-215570-2 accommodates 28 AWG stranded or solid wire in its IDC termination. This specification applies to the ribbon cable interface and does not affect board-level compatibility with the 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch requirement.
