TE Connectivity 1393436-2 Rectangular Connector Housing Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 1393436-2 is a 28-position rectangular connector receptacle housing from the Junior Power Timer series. This component serves as the female socket housing for applications requiring sealed, multi-row connector assemblies with crimp-style contact termination. The part is classified as Active product status with full RoHS compliance and MSL Level 1 rating, indicating unlimited shelf life under standard storage conditions. Equivalent and substitute parts are identified to support procurement flexibility, inventory management, and supply chain continuity for applications where the primary part number may experience availability constraints or where design specifications permit interchangeable housing variants within the same connector family.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for rectangular connector housings is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Position and Contact Configuration: The substitute part must maintain identical position count (28 positions) and row arrangement (4 rows) to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility with mating connector plugs and contact insertion patterns.

Pitch and Spacing: The contact pitch of 0.169" (4.30mm) is a fundamental dimensional requirement. Substitute parts must match this specification exactly to ensure proper contact alignment and engagement with corresponding plug housings.

Connector Type and Contact Gender: Both the main part and substitute must be receptacle housings with female socket contacts to maintain consistent mating interface requirements.

Mounting Configuration: The free hanging (in-line) mounting type must be preserved to ensure compatibility with the intended application assembly method.

Termination Method: Crimp termination is the specified contact attachment method. Substitute parts must support identical termination technology.

Material and Environmental Properties: The insulation material (PBT, glass filled), sealed feature, and color (black) define the physical and environmental performance envelope. Substitute parts must match these specifications.

Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliance and MSL Level 1 rating are mandatory for equivalent substitution to maintain regulatory and reliability standards.

The substitute part 1393436-1 meets all these criteria and is therefore classified as a parametric equivalent within the Junior Power Timer connector family.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both 1393436-2 and 1393436-1 are Active product status components manufactured by TE Connectivity within the Junior Power Timer series. Both parts are RoHS compliant and carry MSL Level 1 rating, confirming compliance with current environmental and reliability standards. The parametric equivalence across all critical dimensions, contact configuration, termination method, and material specifications establishes these parts as direct substitutes for rectangular connector housing applications.

Selection between these two part numbers may be based on inventory availability and procurement lead time. The 1393436-1 currently maintains higher inventory levels (1136 pieces versus 935 pieces), which may provide supply chain advantages for high-volume or time-sensitive applications. Both parts are classified as new original stock and carry identical regulatory certifications.

No technical performance differentiation exists between these two part numbers based on the provided specifications. The substitution is bidirectional, meaning either part number can replace the other in applications designed for the Junior Power Timer 28-position, 4-row rectangular connector housing configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 1393436-1 be used as a direct replacement for 1393436-2 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts are parametric equivalents with identical specifications across all critical dimensions, contact configuration, pitch, row arrangement, mounting type, termination method, material composition, and regulatory compliance status. No design modification is required for substitution.

Q: What is the significance of the different HTSUS codes between these two part numbers?

A: The HTSUS codes (8536.69.8000 for 1393436-2 and 8538.90.6000 for 1393436-1) reflect tariff classification differences that may impact import duties and logistics costs. These codes do not affect the functional or mechanical equivalence of the parts. Consult with procurement and customs compliance teams regarding tariff implications for your specific application and sourcing region.

Q: Are there any differences in the REACH compliance status between these parts?

A: The 1393436-2 lists REACH status as "Vendor Undefined," while 1393436-1 lists "REACH Unaffected." Both designations indicate compliance with REACH regulations. The difference in terminology reflects vendor documentation practices rather than substantive compliance differences. Both parts are suitable for applications subject to REACH requirements.

Q: Do these connector housings include contacts?

A: No. Both 1393436-2 and 1393436-1 are housings only. Contacts are not included and must be procured separately. Ensure that selected contacts are compatible with the 28-position, 4-row configuration and crimp termination method specified for these housings.

Q: What is the significance of the "Sealed" feature?

A: The sealed feature indicates that these connector housings provide environmental protection against moisture and contaminants. This specification is critical for applications requiring protection in harsh or humid environments. Both substitute parts maintain this sealed design.

Q: Can these housings be used with different pitch or row configurations?

A: No. These housings are specifically designed for 0.169" (4.30mm) pitch with 4-row configuration. Using them with different contact pitches or row arrangements will result in improper contact alignment and connector failure. Pitch and row configuration are non-negotiable substitution parameters.
