TE Connectivity Erni 214347-E Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity Erni 214347-E is a 50-position rectangular receptacle connector with IDC (Insulation Displacement Contact) termination. This female socket connector operates in the MiniBridge series and is designed for free-hanging, in-line applications using discrete or ribbon cable. The part maintains Active product status and is ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating, indicating unlimited moisture sensitivity tolerance. Substitute parts are identified when inventory constraints, lead time requirements, or specific application needs necessitate alternative sourcing while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TE Connectivity Erni 214347-E is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector Type: Receptacle
• Contact Type: Female Socket
• Number of Positions: 50
• Pitch: 0.050" (1.27mm)
• Number of Rows: 2
• Row Spacing: 0.050" (1.27mm)
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Fastening Type: Latch Lock
• Cable Termination: IDC

Compliance Requirements:

• RoHS3 Compliant status
• REACH Unaffected status
• Active product status

The Adam Tech ESMC-F-50-SGS-14.10-IDC-L satisfies all mandatory matching parameters and compliance requirements, establishing it as a valid substitute. Differences in wire gauge specification, contact finish, and color do not affect mechanical or electrical interchangeability for standard IDC applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the TE Connectivity Erni 214347-E and Adam Tech ESMC-F-50-SGS-14.10-IDC-L maintain Active product status with full ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected designation. Selection between these parts is based on availability and application-specific requirements rather than compliance or reliability differences.

The TE Connectivity Erni 214347-E is suitable for applications requiring flexibility in wire gauge and contact finish specifications. The Adam Tech ESMC-F-50-SGS-14.10-IDC-L provides a defined specification with 30 AWG ribbon cable compatibility, gold contact finish, and closed-end design, making it appropriate for standardized ribbon cable interconnect applications.

Both connectors are mechanically and electrically interchangeable for 50-position, 1.27mm pitch IDC receptacle applications with latch lock fastening. The choice between manufacturers should be driven by inventory availability, delivery timeline, and specific cable gauge requirements of the end application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Adam Tech ESMC-F-50-SGS-14.10-IDC-L directly replace the TE Connectivity Erni 214347-E?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mechanical and electrical specifications: 50 positions, 0.050" (1.27mm) pitch, 2-row configuration, free-hanging in-line mounting, latch lock fastening, and IDC termination. Both are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected.

Q: What is the significance of the wire gauge difference between these parts?

A: The TE Connectivity Erni 214347-E does not specify wire gauge, indicating compatibility with multiple gauge options. The Adam Tech ESMC-F-50-SGS-14.10-IDC-L specifies 30 AWG ribbon cable. This difference does not affect interchangeability; it reflects the Adam Tech part's optimization for standard ribbon cable applications.

Q: Does the gold contact finish on the Adam Tech part affect compatibility?

A: No. The contact finish does not impact mechanical or electrical interchangeability. Both parts function identically in IDC applications. Contact finish selection is application-dependent and does not prevent substitution.

Q: Are there any packaging or inventory considerations?

A: Both parts are supplied in Tray packaging. The TE Connectivity Erni 214347-E has 668 pieces in stock, while the Adam Tech ESMC-F-50-SGS-14.10-IDC-L has 967 pieces available. Selection may be influenced by required order quantities and delivery schedules.

Q: What does "closed end" mean on the Adam Tech part?

A: Closed end refers to the connector housing design where the end is sealed. This is a design feature that does not affect interchangeability with the TE Connectivity part for standard IDC applications.

Q: Are both parts suitable for discrete wire termination?

A: The TE Connectivity Erni 214347-E supports both discrete and ribbon cable termination. The Adam Tech ESMC-F-50-SGS-14.10-IDC-L is specified for ribbon cable. For discrete wire applications, the TE Connectivity part may be the preferred choice, though both use IDC termination technology.
