Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution between 1-521229-2 and 2-521229-2 is established through alignment of the following critical parameters:

Shared Substitution Criteria:

• Identical base product number (521229)
• Same manufacturer (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors)
• Identical connector classification (Position Connector)
• Matching Faston rating (250)
• Equivalent moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1)
• Identical ECCN classification (EAR99)
• Same housing material specification (Nylon-V2)
• Matching color designation (Red)

The primary distinction between these parts is product status: 1-521229-2 is obsolete while 2-521229-2 maintains active status, making the latter the appropriate selection for new designs and ongoing procurement.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For applications currently specified with 1-521229-2, transition to 2-521229-2 is appropriate based on the following factors:

Product Status Alignment: The substitute part maintains active status with TE Connectivity AMP Connectors, ensuring continued availability and supply chain stability. The original part's obsolete designation creates procurement risk and potential lead time constraints.

Compliance Continuity: Both parts share identical ECCN classification (EAR99) and equivalent moisture sensitivity ratings (MSL 1), maintaining regulatory and environmental compliance requirements without modification to existing designs.

Functional Equivalence: Identical base product number, connector classification, Faston rating, and housing material specifications confirm functional interchangeability within the 521229 product family.

Packaging Consideration: The substitute part is supplied in bulk packaging, which may require adjustment to procurement and inventory management procedures compared to the original part's unspecified packaging format.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 2-521229-2 directly replace 1-521229-2 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical base product number (521229), connector type (Position Connector), Faston rating (250), housing material (Nylon-V2), color (Red), and moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1). These parameters establish functional equivalence for direct substitution.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: The original part 1-521229-2 is designated as obsolete. The substitute 2-521229-2 maintains active product status with TE Connectivity AMP Connectors, providing continued availability and supply chain reliability.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these parts?

A: Both parts share identical ECCN classification (EAR99) and equivalent moisture sensitivity ratings (MSL 1). The substitute part's RoHS status is listed as not applicable, whereas the original is ROHS3 compliant. This difference does not affect functional compatibility.

Q: Does packaging format affect substitution?

A: The substitute part 2-521229-2 is supplied in bulk packaging, whereas the original part's packaging format is not specified. Organizations must adjust procurement and inventory management procedures accordingly, but this does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Are both parts manufactured by the same company?

A: Yes. Both 1-521229-2 and 2-521229-2 are manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors, ensuring consistent quality standards and design specifications across the substitution.
