Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 1452668-2 is classified as Obsolete, making the Active-status substitute part 7-1452665-2 the appropriate selection for new designs and ongoing procurement requirements. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and identical contact finish specifications, ensuring regulatory and electrical performance consistency.

The primary distinction between these components is wire gauge specification: the main part accommodates 18-20 AWG conductors, while the substitute accommodates 22-24 AWG conductors. Selection between these parts depends on the wire gauge requirements of the specific application circuit.

Both parts carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.90.4000) classifications, indicating equivalent export control and tariff treatment. The substitute part is available in Tape & Reel packaging, supporting automated assembly processes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 7-1452665-2 substitute directly replace the 1452668-2 in existing assemblies?

A: Direct substitution is possible only if the application circuit uses 22-24 AWG wire conductors. The 1452668-2 is specified for 18-20 AWG wire, while the 7-1452665-2 is specified for 22-24 AWG wire. Wire gauge compatibility must be verified before substitution.

Q: What is the significance of the Obsolete product status for the 1452668-2?

A: Obsolete status indicates that the 1452668-2 is no longer manufactured or supported by TE Connectivity. The 7-1452665-2, with Active status, represents the current production equivalent within the MCON series and is the recommended selection for new procurement.

Q: Are the contact finish specifications identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both the 1452668-2 and 7-1452665-2 feature gold contact finish with 31.5µin (0.80µm) thickness, ensuring equivalent electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance characteristics.

Q: What packaging options are available for the substitute part?

A: The 7-1452665-2 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, which is standard for automated assembly and high-volume production environments.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both the 1452668-2 and 7-1452665-2 are ROHS3 compliant and carry identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications, ensuring equivalent regulatory treatment and environmental compliance.

Q: What is the Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) for these connector contacts?

A: Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage, handling, or assembly processes.
