TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 2005249-2 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 2005249-2 is a rectangular connector housing designed for receptacle applications in the Power Double Lock series. This 2-position connector operates at a 0.156" (3.96mm) pitch and features panel mount, snap-in installation with crimp contact termination. The housing is constructed from polyamide (PA66) nylon 6/6 material and operates across a temperature range of -30°C to 105°C. This part is actively produced and RoHS compliant. Equivalent substitute parts may be required due to inventory availability, color specification requirements, or operational temperature constraints in specific applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for rectangular connector housings in the Power Double Lock series is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector type (Receptacle)
• Number of positions (2)
• Pitch specification (0.156" / 3.96mm)
• Number of rows (1)
• Mounting type (Panel Mount, Snap-In)
• Contact termination method (Crimp)
• Fastening type (Locking Ramp)
• Insulation material (Polyamide PA66, Nylon 6/6)
• Series designation (Power Double Lock)

Variable Parameters Allowing Substitution:

• Housing color (Red vs. Natural)
• Operating temperature maximum (-30°C ~ 105°C vs. -30°C ~ 65°C)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level (Not Applicable vs. 1 Unlimited)

The substitute part 2005249-1 maintains full parametric equivalence across all mandatory matching parameters. Differences in color and temperature rating represent the only variations between the main part and its substitute.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 2005249-2 and 2005249-1 are active products manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors and carry RoHS compliance certification. Selection between these parts is determined by specific application requirements:

Select 2005249-2 (Red Housing) when:

• Operating temperature environment reaches or exceeds 65°C and extends to 105°C
• Red housing color is specified for circuit board identification or assembly documentation
• The full -30°C to 105°C temperature range is required for the application

Select 2005249-1 (Natural Housing) when:

• Operating temperature remains within the -30°C to 65°C range
• Natural housing color is acceptable or preferred
• Higher inventory availability is a consideration (4777 units in stock vs. 932 units)

Both parts share identical mechanical and electrical specifications for connector geometry, pitch, mounting configuration, and contact termination. The substitution is valid based on application temperature requirements and color specifications only.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 2005249-1 be used as a direct replacement for 2005249-2?

A: The 2005249-1 is a direct parametric equivalent for applications operating within the -30°C to 65°C temperature range. If your application requires operation above 65°C up to 105°C, the 2005249-2 is the required part. Both parts are mechanically and electrically identical in all other specifications.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The main differences are housing color (Red vs. Natural) and maximum operating temperature (105°C vs. 65°C). All other parameters including connector type, position count, pitch, mounting method, and contact termination are identical.

Q: Are these parts compatible with the same contact pins?

A: Yes. Both housings accept the same crimp-terminated tab contacts. The housing color and temperature rating do not affect contact compatibility.

Q: Does the color difference affect electrical performance?

A: No. Housing color is a visual identification feature only and does not impact electrical characteristics or performance.

Q: What does "Contacts Not Included" mean?

A: Both housing parts are supplied without pre-installed contacts. Contacts must be selected and crimped separately according to application requirements and the base product number 2005249 specifications.

Q: Can I use 2005249-2 in applications rated for only 65°C maximum?

A: Yes. The 2005249-2 operates across -30°C to 105°C, which includes the -30°C to 65°C range. Using a part with a higher temperature rating in a lower-temperature application presents no technical limitation.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both 2005249-2 and 2005249-1 carry RoHS compliance certification and are suitable for applications requiring RoHS-compliant components.
