Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 1394355-2 receptacle connector is determined by compatibility across the following critical parameters:

Matching Parameters (Required for Substitution):

• Series: Mark II
• Number of Positions: 2
• Pitch: 0.197" (5.00mm)
• Number of Rows: 1
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Cable Termination: IDC
• Color: Natural
• RoHS Compliance Status

Connector Type Consideration: The 1394355-2 is a receptacle connector. Substitute parts identified in this reference include plug connectors from the same series and pitch specification. Receptacle and plug connectors are complementary components designed to mate with each other within the same connector family. The Mark II series architecture ensures mechanical and electrical compatibility between receptacle and plug variants when pitch, position count, and termination method are identical.

Compliance Alignment: Both the main part and identified substitutes maintain RoHS compliance and MSL Level 1 rating, ensuring environmental and moisture sensitivity requirements are met across substitution scenarios.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Product Status Consideration: The 1394355-2 is classified as obsolete, while the substitute part 1534077-2 maintains active product status. Active status indicates ongoing manufacturer support, availability, and compliance with current standards.

Compliance Alignment: Both parts maintain RoHS compliance and MSL Level 1 ratings. The substitute part carries ROHS3 compliance, representing the current regulatory standard iteration. Both parts are classified under ECCN EAR99 and share identical HTSUS coding (8536.69.8000), confirming regulatory equivalence.

Connector Type Differentiation: The main part is a receptacle connector, while the identified substitute is a plug connector. These components are designed as mating pairs within the Mark II series. Selection between receptacle and plug variants depends on the specific application circuit topology and existing connector configuration in the target system.

Availability and Inventory: The substitute part 1534077-2 is available in active inventory (3813 pieces), providing reliable sourcing for new designs and replacement applications. The main part inventory (729 pieces) reflects its obsolete status.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1534077-2 plug connector directly replace the 1394355-2 receptacle connector?

A: The 1534077-2 is a plug connector, while the 1394355-2 is a receptacle connector. These are complementary mating components, not direct one-to-one replacements. Both connectors are designed to work together within the Mark II series. Selection depends on whether your application requires a receptacle or plug interface. If the original design used a 1394355-2 receptacle, the mating connector would be a plug variant such as the 1534077-2.

Q: Are the pitch and position specifications identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both the 1394355-2 and 1534077-2 share identical pitch (0.197" / 5.00mm) and position count (2 positions in 1 row). This ensures mechanical compatibility and proper mating within the Mark II connector family.

Q: What is the significance of the product status difference?

A: The 1394355-2 is obsolete, indicating it is no longer in active production. The 1534077-2 is active, meaning it is currently manufactured and supported by TE Connectivity. For new designs and long-term sourcing, active parts are preferred. For legacy system maintenance, obsolete parts may still be available through inventory channels.

Q: Do both connectors use IDC termination?

A: Yes. Both the 1394355-2 and 1534077-2 use IDC (Insulation Displacement Contact) cable termination. This ensures compatibility with existing IDC tooling and discrete wire configurations in your assembly process.

Q: What is the difference in RoHS compliance between the parts?

A: The 1394355-2 is RoHS Compliant (RoHS 2), while the 1534077-2 is ROHS3 Compliant (RoHS 3). ROHS3 represents the current regulatory standard. Both parts meet RoHS requirements; the difference reflects the regulatory iteration at the time of manufacture or certification update.

Q: Are there any differences in contact finish specifications?

A: The 1394355-2 specifies tin contact finish. The 1534077-2 does not specify contact finish in the provided data. Contact finish specifications should be verified with the manufacturer datasheet or technical documentation for the 1534077-2 to confirm compatibility in applications with specific contact material requirements.

Q: Can these connectors be used in the same cable assembly?

A: Yes. Both connectors are designed for free hanging in-line mounting with discrete wire termination via IDC. They can be integrated into the same cable assembly as mating receptacle and plug pairs within the Mark II series architecture.
