Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 2362760-1 serves as the direct active equivalent for the obsolete 2008614-2. Selection of the substitute part is supported by the following engineering criteria:

Product Status Alignment: The main part 2008614-2 carries obsolete status, limiting availability for new procurement and long-term supply chain reliability. The substitute 2362760-1 maintains active product status with confirmed inventory of 995 pieces, ensuring sustained availability for both replacement and new installation requirements.

Functional Compatibility: Both connectors maintain identical specifications across all critical functional parameters: 8p8c RJ45 Ethernet configuration, shielded construction, Cat5e category rating, IDC termination, IP67 ingress protection, and circular bayonet coupling. These parameters establish direct functional interchangeability in network infrastructure applications.

Compliance and Certification: Both parts satisfy RoHS environmental compliance requirements and carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.8000) classifications. The substitute part extends compliance coverage through REACH Affected status, providing additional regulatory documentation for supply chain transparency.

Enhanced Specifications: The substitute part 2362760-1 provides documented electrical ratings (1.2 A current, 100V voltage) and specified contact finish thickness (50.0µin), parameters not provided for the main part. The substitute also supports both solid and stranded wire configurations, expanding application flexibility beyond the main part's solid wire limitation.

Physical Compatibility: Length specifications are equivalent (58.90mm vs. 59.0mm), confirming mechanical fit in existing connector housings and cable assemblies designed for the original component.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 2362760-1 directly replace the 2008614-2 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical specifications for connector type, contact configuration (8p8c RJ45), shielding, Cat5e rating, IDC termination, IP67 protection, and coupling mechanism. Physical dimensions are equivalent (58.90mm vs. 59.0mm), confirming direct mechanical and functional compatibility.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: The 2008614-2 is classified as obsolete, limiting future availability and supply chain reliability. The 2362760-1 maintains active product status with confirmed inventory, ensuring sustained component availability for replacement and new applications.

Q: Are there differences in cable type compatibility?

A: The main part 2008614-2 supports round cable with solid wires. The substitute 2362760-1 extends compatibility to both solid and stranded wires, providing broader application flexibility while maintaining full compatibility with solid wire configurations.

Q: Do both parts meet the same environmental and regulatory standards?

A: Both parts are RoHS compliant and carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.8000) classifications. Both maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings. The substitute part additionally carries REACH Affected status, providing enhanced regulatory documentation.

Q: What electrical specifications apply to the substitute part?

A: The 2362760-1 is rated for 1.2 A current and 100V voltage. Contact finish thickness is specified at 50.0µin (1.27µm). The main part does not provide these electrical specifications in available documentation.
