Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The substitute part 2-2378158-2 qualifies as a direct equivalent based on the following critical parameters that determine functional interchangeability:

• Connector Type & Configuration: Both parts are 2-position receptacle housings with identical contact type (Tab) and row configuration (1 row)
• Mechanical Interface: Both feature panel mount, snap-in mounting with latch holder fastening
• Electrical Termination: Both use crimp contact termination
• Material & Environmental Specifications: Both utilize PBT glass-filled insulation with identical operating temperature range (-30°C to 105°C)
• Series Compatibility: Both belong to the Power Versa-Lock series
• Compliance Profile: Both are RoHS compliant with MSL 1 rating

The primary distinction is product status: the main part is obsolete while the substitute is active, making 2-2378158-2 the recommended selection for new designs and ongoing procurement.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For applications currently using 2-2325350-2, transition to 2-2378158-2 is supported by the following factors:

Product Status Alignment: The substitute part maintains active product status, ensuring long-term availability and manufacturing support. The main part's obsolete classification creates supply chain risk for future procurement.

Compliance Enhancement: While both parts are RoHS compliant, the substitute achieves ROHS3 compliance, representing alignment with current regulatory standards. Both parts maintain REACH Unaffected status for environmental compliance.

Functional Equivalence: All critical electrical and mechanical parameters are identical, including connector configuration, termination method, material composition, and operating temperature specifications. No design modifications are required for direct substitution.

Inventory Availability: The substitute part demonstrates higher current inventory levels (1580 pcs vs. 1038 pcs), supporting immediate procurement needs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 2-2378158-2 be used as a direct replacement for 2-2325350-2 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts are functionally equivalent across all critical parameters: 2-position receptacle configuration, tab contact type, panel mount snap-in mounting, crimp termination, latch holder fastening, PBT glass-filled insulation, and -30°C to 105°C operating temperature range. No design modifications are required.

Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers?

A: The parts are mechanically and electrically identical. The primary differences are product status (obsolete vs. active), RoHS certification level (RoHS vs. ROHS3), and packaging format. The substitute part is the active production equivalent.

Q: Why is the main part listed as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the part is no longer in active production. TE Connectivity has transitioned this design to the active equivalent 2-2378158-2 for ongoing manufacturing and supply.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The main part packaging is unspecified, while the substitute is supplied in bag packaging. This does not affect functional compatibility or electrical performance.

Q: Can I use these parts interchangeably in new designs?

A: For new designs, specify 2-2378158-2 to ensure long-term supply chain continuity and compliance with current manufacturing standards. The substitute part's active status provides superior availability and support.

Q: Do both parts support the same operating temperature range?

A: Yes. Both parts operate across the identical temperature range of -30°C to 105°C with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating.
