TE Connectivity 2-215464-0 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 2-215464-0 is a rectangular connector header from the Micro-MaTch series designed for through-hole board-to-board or cable applications. This vertical connector features 20 positions arranged in 2 rows with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing and is rated for 1.5A at 230V in general-purpose applications. The part maintains Active product status with full RoHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. Substitute parts are identified to provide alternative sourcing options while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical specifications for direct replacement in circuit designs.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the TE Connectivity 2-215464-0 are identified based on strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitution logic requires exact matching of the following parameters:

Contact configuration: 20 positions in 2-row arrangement with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch and row spacing Connector orientation: Vertical header with shrouded 4-wall design Electrical ratings: 1.5A current capacity and 230V voltage rating Mounting and termination: Through-hole press-fit and solder termination with latch lock fastening Material and environmental compliance: Brass contacts with tin finish, PBT glass-filled insulation, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, and RoHS3 compliance Operating range: -40°C to 105°C temperature specification

Parts meeting all these criteria are classified as direct substitutes within the Micro-MaTch rectangular connector series.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 2-215464-0 and 9-215464-0 are Active products from TE Connectivity's Micro-MaTch rectangular connector series with identical electrical, mechanical, and compliance specifications. Selection between these parts is based on inventory availability and sourcing logistics rather than technical differentiation.

The 2-215464-0 maintains 2725 pieces in stock, while the 9-215464-0 provides 3100 pieces in stock. Both parts carry ROHS3 compliance certification and UL94 V-0 flammability rating, meeting regulatory requirements for general-purpose applications. The 9-215464-0 specifies REACH Unaffected status, while the 2-215464-0 lists REACH status as Vendor Undefined; this distinction does not affect functional equivalence.

Direct substitution is supported across all circuit design parameters, PCB layout requirements, and mating interface specifications. No design modifications or validation testing is required when transitioning between these part numbers within the same application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 2-215464-0 and 9-215464-0 fully interchangeable in circuit designs?

A: Yes. Both parts are identical in all electrical ratings (1.5A, 230V), mechanical dimensions (20 positions, 2 rows, 0.100" pitch), contact configuration (male pin, brass with tin finish), mounting type (through-hole), and environmental specifications (-40°C to 105°C operating range). Direct substitution requires no design changes or PCB layout modifications.

Q: What are the critical parameters that define substitution eligibility for this connector header?

A: Substitution eligibility is determined by exact matching of connector type (header), contact type (male pin), position count (20), row configuration (2 rows), pitch spacing (0.100" mating and row spacing), shrouding design (4-wall), mounting method (through-hole), electrical ratings (1.5A, 230V), and material specifications (brass contacts, tin finish, PBT glass-filled insulation). All these parameters are identical between the main part and substitute.

Q: Does packaging format affect the substitution relationship?

A: No. Both the 2-215464-0 and 9-215464-0 are supplied in Cut Tape (CT) packaging. Packaging format is consistent across both parts and does not impact electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Are there compliance or certification differences between these parts?

A: Both parts maintain Active product status, ROHS3 compliance, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, and EAR99 export classification. The 9-215464-0 specifies REACH Unaffected status while the 2-215464-0 lists REACH status as Vendor Undefined. This administrative distinction does not affect functional performance or regulatory acceptance in applications.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these connector headers?

A: Both parts carry Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) 1, indicating Unlimited shelf life without special moisture control requirements during storage or handling.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in board-to-board and cable applications?

A: Yes. Both the 2-215464-0 and 9-215464-0 are specified for Board to Board or Cable style applications. The shrouded 4-wall design and latch lock fastening mechanism provide identical mating interface characteristics for both application types.
