TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 1379668-2 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 1379668-2 is a 24-position rectangular connector housing designed for plug applications with a 0.087" (2.20mm) pitch configuration. This connector housing is manufactured from Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) and operates across a temperature range of -40°C to 100°C. The part is classified as Active product status and is RoHS3 compliant. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are maintained across the connector housing specification, allowing for interchangeability in applications where the core functional requirements remain constant.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 1379668-2 are identified based on strict equivalence of critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The following parameters must remain constant for substitution eligibility:

• Number of Positions: 24
• Pitch: 0.087" (2.20mm)
• Number of Rows: 2
• Row Spacing: 0.118" (3.00mm)
• Connector Type: Plug
• Contact Type: Female Socket
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Contact Termination: Crimp
• Insulation Material: Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT)
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C ~ 100°C
• Series: .025
• Base Product Number: 1379668

The substitute part 1379668-1 maintains all critical parameters with the exception of housing color, which differs from Gray to Black. This color variation does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility and does not impact functional performance in applications where connector housing color is not a design constraint.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 1379668-2 and 1379668-1 are Active product status components manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors and maintain full RoHS3 compliance with MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity classification. The parts are electrically and mechanically interchangeable across all functional parameters including connector type, contact configuration, pitch spacing, row configuration, mounting methodology, and operating temperature range.

Selection between these parts is determined by application-specific requirements regarding connector housing color. The 1379668-2 features Gray housing, while the 1379668-1 features Black housing. Both parts utilize identical PBT insulation material, crimp termination methodology, and maintain the same 24-position, 2-row configuration with 0.087" (2.20mm) pitch spacing.

Component selection should be based on visual identification requirements, color-coding standards within the application assembly, or specific design documentation color specifications. No electrical or thermal performance differences exist between these substitute parts.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 1379668-2 and 1379668-1 electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain identical electrical specifications including 24-position configuration, 0.087" (2.20mm) pitch, 2-row layout with 0.118" (3.00mm) row spacing, female socket contact type, and crimp termination methodology. Operating temperature range, insulation material, and electrical performance characteristics are identical.

Q: What is the primary difference between these substitute parts?

A: The primary difference is connector housing color. The 1379668-2 features Gray housing, while the 1379668-1 features Black housing. All other electrical, mechanical, and material specifications are equivalent.

Q: Can I use 1379668-1 (Black) in place of 1379668-2 (Gray) in my application?

A: Substitution is permissible when connector housing color is not a design constraint or visual identification requirement. If color-coding or specific color documentation is required for the application, the original part number must be used.

Q: Are both parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both 1379668-2 and 1379668-1 are RoHS3 compliant with MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity classification.

Q: What is the mounting configuration for these connector housings?

A: Both parts utilize Free Hanging (In-Line) mounting type, suitable for direct cable or harness integration without additional mounting hardware.

Q: Do these connector housings include contacts?

A: No. Both parts are connector housings only. Contacts are not included and must be sourced separately according to application requirements.

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

A: Both parts operate across a temperature range of -40°C to 100°C, suitable for industrial and commercial applications within this thermal envelope.
