Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 182079-2 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Tab Width: 0.250" (6.35mm)
• Tab Thickness: 0.032" (0.81mm)
• Termination Type: Screw, Rivet, Stud
• Insulation: Non-Insulated
• Mounting Type: Board, Chassis
• Features: 2 Tabs
• Contact Finish: Tin
• Gender: Male
• Terminal Type: Standard

Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS3 Compliance required
• MSL Rating 1 (Unlimited) acceptable

The substitute part 62627-1 meets all mandatory matching parameters. Variation in overall length (1.010" versus 1.181") and contact material (steel versus brass) are permissible within the Faston series quick-connect terminal category, as these dimensions and material compositions remain functionally compatible with standard screw, rivet, and stud termination applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 62627-1

The 62627-1 is the qualified substitute for the obsolete 182079-2. Selection of this active part provides the following advantages:

Compliance Status: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL Rating 1 (Unlimited), ensuring regulatory and environmental compatibility with existing specifications.

Product Availability: The 62627-1 is classified as active with 29,598 pieces in stock, compared to the obsolete status of 182079-2. This ensures long-term supply chain reliability for new production and field service applications.

Functional Compatibility: All critical electrical and mechanical parameters align between the two parts, including tab width, tab thickness, termination type, insulation configuration, mounting type, and tab count. These parameters determine functional interchangeability in screw, rivet, and stud termination circuits.

Material Variation: The 62627-1 utilizes steel contact material with tin finish, compared to brass contact material in the 182079-2. Both materials are compatible with standard quick-connect terminal applications and maintain equivalent electrical performance characteristics within the Faston series specification.

Dimensional Consideration: The 62627-1 features an overall length of 1.010" (25.65mm) compared to 1.181" (30.00mm) in the 182079-2. This dimensional reduction is accommodated within standard board and chassis mounting configurations for Faston terminals.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 62627-1 directly replace the 182079-2 in existing assemblies?

A: The 62627-1 meets all mandatory electrical and mechanical parameters for substitution, including tab width, tab thickness, termination type, insulation, mounting type, and tab configuration. The parts are functionally equivalent for screw, rivet, and stud termination applications. Dimensional and material variations fall within acceptable tolerances for the Faston series quick-connect terminal category.

Q: What is the significance of the contact material difference between brass and steel?

A: Both brass and steel contact materials with tin finish are standard within the Faston series and provide equivalent electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance for quick-connect terminal applications. The material variation does not affect functional performance in standard board and chassis mounting circuits.

Q: Why is the 182079-2 classified as obsolete?

A: The 182079-2 is designated obsolete by the manufacturer. The 62627-1 represents the active equivalent part within the TE Connectivity AMP Connectors product line, ensuring continued availability and supply chain support for applications requiring 0.250" quick-connect male terminals.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the two parts?

A: The 182079-2 packaging specification is not provided in the technical data. The 62627-1 is supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging configuration should be confirmed with the supplier based on specific assembly and inventory requirements.

Q: Do both parts meet current regulatory requirements?

A: Both the 182079-2 and 62627-1 are ROHS3 compliant and carry MSL Rating 1 (Unlimited), confirming compliance with current environmental and moisture sensitivity standards for electronic component applications.

Q: What is the basis for determining substitution eligibility?

A: Substitution eligibility is determined by matching critical parameters: tab width, tab thickness, termination type, insulation configuration, mounting type, tab count, and contact finish. These parameters define functional compatibility within the quick-connect terminal category. Compliance certifications and product status are secondary factors supporting the substitution decision.
