Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 2-229912-1 is determined by strict equivalence across the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Connector Type: Must be Plug
• Position Count: Must be 50 positions
• Row Configuration: Must be 2 rows
• Mounting Configuration: Must be Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Termination Technology: Must be IDC
• Connector Style: Must be Center Strip Contacts
• Contact Finish: Must be Gold
• Contact Finish Thickness: Must be 30.0µin (0.76µm)
• Series Designation: Must be CHAMP .085

The substitute part 2-5229912-1 meets all these criteria and is therefore electrically and mechanically interchangeable with the 2-229912-1 for applications requiring these exact specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 2-5229912-1 is the direct substitute for the obsolete 2-229912-1. Both parts are manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical connector parameters.

The 2-5229912-1 offers the following advantages:

• Active Product Status: The substitute is currently in active production, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.
• RoHS3 Compliance: The substitute meets RoHS3 environmental standards, whereas the original part has not applicable status.
• Moisture Sensitivity Classification: The substitute carries MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating superior moisture handling characteristics compared to the original part's not applicable designation.
• Inventory Availability: The substitute has higher current stock levels (1980 Pcs) compared to the main part (923 Pcs).

Selection of the 2-5229912-1 is appropriate for new designs, system upgrades, and replacement applications where the original 2-229912-1 is no longer available or where compliance with current environmental standards is required.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 2-229912-1 and 2-5229912-1 electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts are 50-position IDC plug connectors with identical contact configurations, gold plating specifications, and CHAMP .085 series designation. They are electrically equivalent.

Q: Are the 2-229912-1 and 2-5229912-1 mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts feature identical mounting types (free hanging in-line), connector styles (center strip contacts), and physical dimensions within the CHAMP .085 series. They are mechanically interchangeable.

Q: What is the difference in packaging between these parts?

A: The 2-229912-1 has no specified packaging designation. The 2-5229912-1 is packaged in boxes. This difference does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Why is the 2-229912-1 listed as obsolete?

A: The 2-229912-1 has reached end-of-life status in TE Connectivity's product portfolio. The 2-5229912-1 is the active replacement part that maintains full functional equivalence.

Q: Does the RoHS3 compliance of the 2-5229912-1 affect compatibility with systems designed for the 2-229912-1?

A: No. RoHS3 compliance is an environmental and regulatory attribute that does not alter the electrical or mechanical performance of the connector. The substitute is fully compatible with applications originally designed for the 2-229912-1.

Q: Can the 2-5229912-1 be used in legacy systems that currently use the 2-229912-1?

A: Yes. The 2-5229912-1 is a direct substitute with identical connector specifications and is suitable for replacement in existing systems.

Q: What does MSL 1 (Unlimited) mean for the 2-5229912-1?

A: MSL 1 (Unlimited) indicates that the component has no moisture sensitivity restrictions and does not require special handling, storage, or baking procedures prior to assembly. This is an improvement over the original part's not applicable designation.
