TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 215614-4 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 215614-4 is a 96-position DIN receptacle connector with female sockets, gold-plated contacts, and through-hole press-fit termination. This connector is classified as obsolete, indicating discontinued manufacturing and limited availability in the market. The part operates across a temperature range of -55°C to 125°C and is designed for backplane applications requiring Eurocard series compatibility.

Due to its obsolete status, identifying equivalent substitute parts is essential for ongoing system maintenance, repair, and new design implementations where legacy compatibility is required.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The KYOCERA AVX 208458096003025 is a qualified substitute for the obsolete TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 215614-4 based on the following engineering criteria:

Functional Equivalence: All critical electrical and mechanical parameters match exactly, including connector type, position count, pitch, row configuration, mounting method, and termination style. Both parts are classified as Level/Class 2 DIN receptacles with identical contact finish and insulation materials.

Compliance Advantage: The KYOCERA AVX substitute provides enhanced regulatory compliance. While the original part lists RoHS status as not applicable, the substitute is ROHS3 compliant. The substitute also provides defined REACH status (REACH Unaffected) compared to the original's vendor-undefined status.

Temperature Performance: The substitute operates across an extended lower temperature range (-65°C versus -55°C), providing improved performance in cold-temperature environments while maintaining the same upper temperature limit of 125°C.

Product Availability: The substitute is actively manufactured and stocked (822 pieces in inventory), ensuring reliable supply compared to the obsolete original part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the KYOCERA AVX 208458096003025 be used as a direct replacement for the TE Connectivity 215614-4?

A: Yes. The KYOCERA AVX part meets all mandatory electrical and mechanical parameters for direct substitution, including connector type, position count, pitch, row configuration, mounting type, termination method, contact finish, and insulation material.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns with PCB mounting?

A: No. Both parts use identical through-hole press-fit termination and are designed for PCB mounting. The 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch and 3-row configuration are identical.

Q: What is the difference in operating temperature range?

A: The KYOCERA AVX substitute operates from -65°C to 125°C, compared to the original part's -55°C to 125°C range. This represents an extended lower temperature capability with no change to the upper limit.

Q: Does the substitute meet current environmental regulations?

A: Yes. The KYOCERA AVX 208458096003025 is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, providing defined regulatory status compared to the original part's undefined compliance documentation.

Q: Are the contact finishes identical?

A: Both parts feature gold-plated contacts. While the original part specifies 31.5µin (0.80µm) contact finish thickness, this specification is not provided for the substitute. The gold contact finish material is identical.

Q: What is the packaging difference?

A: The original TE Connectivity part packaging is not specified. The KYOCERA AVX substitute is supplied in bulk packaging.

Q: Is the Eurocard series compatibility maintained?

A: The original part is designated as Eurocard series. The substitute is designated as 8458 series. Both parts maintain identical DIN 96-position receptacle specifications and are mechanically and electrically compatible for Eurocard backplane applications.
