Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 2169869-4 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Connector Architecture: Connector type (Header, Male Blades), connector style (Blade Power), and number of positions (4) must remain identical to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility with mating receptacles.

Physical Configuration: Mounting type (Board Edge, Through Hole, Right Angle), number of columns (2), and contact layout (4 Power) must match to ensure proper board integration and signal routing.

Material and Environmental Specifications: Contact finish (Gold, 30.0µin thickness), color (Black), material flammability rating (UL94 V-0), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 85°C) must be maintained to preserve reliability and regulatory compliance.

Termination Technology: Press-fit termination must be preserved to ensure compatibility with existing board designs and assembly processes.

Regulatory Compliance: RoHS3 compliance and Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 must be maintained for environmental and handling consistency.

The substitute part 2169802-4 meets all these criteria and is therefore a direct functional equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 2169802-4 is a direct functional equivalent to the obsolete 2169869-4. Both parts are manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors within the Impact series and share identical electrical, mechanical, and environmental specifications.

Product Status Consideration: The 2169869-4 is classified as obsolete, while the 2169802-4 maintains active product status. This distinction is significant for long-term supply chain planning and component availability. Selection of the active substitute part ensures continued access to inventory and manufacturing support.

Regulatory and Compliance Alignment: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, identical flammability ratings (UL94 V-0), and equivalent moisture sensitivity levels. No compliance gaps exist between the main part and substitute.

Packaging Difference: The 2169869-4 is supplied without specified packaging, while the 2169802-4 is supplied in bulk packaging. This difference does not affect functional compatibility but may influence procurement and handling procedures.

Inventory Availability: The 2169802-4 currently maintains 904 units in stock, providing immediate availability for component replacement and new system builds.

For applications requiring the 4-position blade power connector header with board edge, through-hole, right-angle mounting and press-fit termination, the 2169802-4 provides complete functional equivalence to the obsolete 2169869-4.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 2169802-4 be used as a direct replacement for the 2169869-4 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 2169802-4 is a direct functional equivalent. All critical parameters including connector type, number of positions, mounting configuration, termination method, contact finish, and environmental ratings are identical. No design modifications are required.

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

A: The main difference is product status. The 2169869-4 is obsolete, while the 2169802-4 is active. Additionally, packaging specifications differ, with the 2169802-4 supplied in bulk format. Functionally and electrically, the parts are equivalent.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns with mating receptacles?

A: No. Both parts share identical connector architecture, blade configuration, and contact layout. Mating receptacles designed for the 2169869-4 will function identically with the 2169802-4.

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

A: Yes. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, carry UL94 V-0 flammability ratings, operate across the identical temperature range (-55°C to 85°C), and maintain Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 classification.

Q: What is the significance of the bulk packaging for the 2169802-4?

A: Bulk packaging indicates the substitute part is supplied without individual packaging containers. This affects handling and storage procedures but does not impact electrical or mechanical performance. Appropriate handling protocols should be implemented during receiving and storage.

Q: Is the 2169802-4 suitable for new product designs?

A: Yes. The active product status of the 2169802-4 makes it suitable for new designs. Active status ensures ongoing manufacturing support, inventory availability, and long-term supply chain stability compared to the obsolete 2169869-4.

Q: Are the contact finish specifications identical?

A: Yes. Both parts feature gold contact finish with identical thickness specifications of 30.0µin (0.76µm), ensuring equivalent electrical performance and corrosion resistance.
