Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

2069552-1 Selection Criteria:

• Tape & Reel packaging format required for automated assembly processes
• Higher contact finish thickness (19.7µin) specified for extended contact durability
• MSL 5 moisture sensitivity acceptable for controlled storage environments with 48-hour floor life limitation
• RoHS Compliant certification sufficient for application requirements

2294417-1 Selection Criteria:

• Cut Tape packaging format suitable for manual assembly or lower-volume production
• Thinner contact finish (1.97µin) acceptable where contact durability requirements are less stringent
• MSL 1 rating provides unlimited floor life and superior moisture resistance for extended storage or humid environments
• ROHS3 Compliant certification provides enhanced environmental compliance documentation
• Lower inventory cost per unit with 1022 pieces available

Both parts maintain active product status and full functional compatibility as 8-position Industrial Mini Type I header connectors with identical electrical and mechanical interfaces.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are 2069552-1 and 2294417-1 electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors are 8-position Industrial Mini Type I headers with identical pin configurations, solder termination, gold contact finish, and board guide features. They function identically in circuit applications.

Q: What is the primary difference between these parts?

A: The main differences are packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Cut Tape), contact finish thickness (19.7µin versus 1.97µin), moisture sensitivity level (MSL 5 versus MSL 1), and RoHS certification level (RoHS Compliant versus ROHS3 Compliant).

Q: Which part should be selected for high-volume automated assembly?

A: The 2069552-1 with Tape & Reel packaging is designed for automated pick-and-place assembly processes.

Q: Which part is better for long-term storage in humid conditions?

A: The 2294417-1 with MSL 1 rating provides unlimited floor life and superior moisture resistance compared to the MSL 5 rating of 2069552-1, which has a 48-hour floor life limitation.

Q: Does contact finish thickness affect electrical performance?

A: Contact finish thickness does not affect electrical conductivity or signal integrity. Both thicknesses provide adequate gold plating for reliable solder connections and contact resistance.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The 2069552-1 is RoHS Compliant, and the 2294417-1 is ROHS3 Compliant. Both meet RoHS environmental standards.

Q: Can Cut Tape packaging be used in automated assembly?

A: Cut Tape packaging is typically used for manual assembly or lower-volume production runs. Tape & Reel packaging is the standard format for high-speed automated assembly equipment.

Q: What does MSL 5 (48 Hours) mean?

A: MSL 5 indicates Moisture Sensitivity Level 5, meaning the component can be exposed to ambient conditions for a maximum of 48 hours before soldering. Extended exposure requires controlled storage or baking procedures.

Q: What does MSL 1 (Unlimited) mean?

A: MSL 1 indicates Moisture Sensitivity Level 1, meaning the component has unlimited floor life and can be stored and handled under standard ambient conditions without moisture-related degradation.
