Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 1526055-2 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Wire Gauge: 2/0 AWG
• Stud/Tab Size: 3/8 Stud
• Terminal Type: Flat Sided, Tubular (Battery Lugs)
• Termination Method: Crimp
• Contact Material: Copper
• Contact Finish: Tin
• Insulation: Non-Insulated
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)

The Molex 0192210244 terminal satisfies all mandatory parameters required for functional equivalence. Both parts are designed for identical wire gauge and stud connection specifications, enabling direct substitution in applications requiring ring terminal connectors for heavy-duty electrical connections.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Molex 0192210244 terminal connector is the qualified substitute for the obsolete TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 1526055-2. Selection of this substitute is based on the following engineering criteria:

Functional Equivalence: Both terminals meet identical electrical and mechanical specifications for 2/0 AWG wire termination on 3/8 inch studs. The crimp termination method, copper contact material with tin finish, and non-insulated configuration ensure electrical performance parity.

Compliance Alignment: The Molex substitute maintains ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, matching the regulatory and environmental requirements of the original part.

Active Product Status: The Molex 0192210244 is classified as active, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability for new designs and replacement applications.

Dimensional Variations: The substitute exhibits reduced thickness (0.110" versus 0.180"), width (0.813" versus 0.950"), and length (2.062" versus 2.250"). These dimensional differences do not affect functional compatibility in applications where the terminal interfaces with standard 3/8 inch stud connections and 2/0 AWG wire.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0192210244 be used as a direct replacement for the TE Connectivity 1526055-2?

A: Yes. Both terminals are functionally equivalent for applications requiring 2/0 AWG wire termination on 3/8 inch studs. The electrical and mechanical specifications are identical, including crimp termination, copper contact material, and tin finish.

Q: What are the dimensional differences between these terminals?

A: The Molex 0192210244 is smaller in overall dimensions. Thickness is 0.110" compared to 0.180", width is 0.813" compared to 0.950", and length is 2.062" compared to 2.250". These variations do not affect compatibility with standard 3/8 inch stud connections.

Q: Are both terminals RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the TE Connectivity 1526055-2 and Molex 0192210244 are ROHS3 compliant and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) ratings.

Q: Why is the TE Connectivity part listed as obsolete?

A: The TE Connectivity 1526055-2 has been discontinued by the manufacturer. The Molex 0192210244 remains in active production and serves as the current equivalent for this terminal type.

Q: What wire gauge and stud size do these terminals accommodate?

A: Both terminals are designed for 2/0 AWG wire with 3/8 inch stud connections. These specifications are fixed and non-adjustable.

Q: Is the non-insulated design suitable for all applications?

A: Non-insulated terminals are appropriate for applications where the connection point is protected from accidental contact or where insulation is provided by the assembly design. Verify application requirements before selection.

Q: What is the contact material and finish?

A: Both terminals feature copper contact material with tin plating. This combination provides corrosion resistance and reliable electrical conductivity for heavy-duty applications.
