TE Connectivity 2232572-1 Rectangular Connector Housing Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 2232572-1 is a 3-position rectangular connector housing from the Grace Inertia 2.5 series. This receptacle housing is designed for crimp contact termination with a 0.098" (2.50mm) pitch and operates across a temperature range of -30°C to 105°C. The part is manufactured from glass-filled polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) and is available in natural color. This connector housing is classified as Active product status with full RoHS compliance and MSL Level 1 rating. Equivalent substitute parts are identified to provide alternative sourcing options when the primary part number is unavailable or when specific application requirements necessitate alternative configurations.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the TE Connectivity 2232572-1 are identified based on strict parametric equivalence within the Grace Inertia 2.5 connector series. The substitution logic is based on the following critical parameters that must remain constant across all equivalent parts:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Series: Grace Inertia 2.5
• Connector Type: Receptacle
• Contact Type: Tab
• Number of Positions: 3
• Pitch: 0.098" (2.50mm)
• Number of Rows: 1
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Contact Termination: Crimp
• Insulation Material: Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT), Glass Filled
• Operating Temperature Range: -30°C to 105°C
• RoHS Status: RoHS Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

Variable Parameter Allowing Substitution:

• Color: Natural or Red

The substitute part 1-2232572-2 differs only in housing color (Red versus Natural), maintaining all electrical, mechanical, and environmental specifications. Both parts share the same base product number (2232572) and are fully interchangeable from a functional and performance standpoint.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the TE Connectivity 2232572-1 and 1-2232572-2 are Active product status components with full RoHS compliance and MSL Level 1 certification. Selection between these parts is determined by application-specific color requirements and inventory availability.

2232572-1 (Natural): Select this part number when natural color housing is required for the application or when color coding is not a functional requirement.

1-2232572-2 (Red): Select this part number when red color housing is specified for the application, such as for visual identification, circuit function differentiation, or color-coded wiring harness assembly.

Both parts maintain identical electrical performance, mechanical compatibility, environmental ratings, and regulatory compliance. The choice between these substitutes is based solely on color specification and sourcing availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1-2232572-2 (Red) be used as a direct replacement for the 2232572-1 (Natural)?

A: Yes, the 1-2232572-2 is a direct functional equivalent. Both parts are identical in all electrical, mechanical, and environmental specifications. The only difference is housing color. Substitution is valid when color coding is not a critical application requirement.

Q: Are there any compatibility issues when substituting between these two part numbers?

A: No compatibility issues exist. Both parts share the same base product number (2232572), connector type, contact configuration, pitch, and termination method. They are fully interchangeable from a mating and performance standpoint.

Q: What is the significance of the different part numbers (2232572-1 versus 1-2232572-2)?

A: The different part numbers reflect the color variant designation within the Grace Inertia 2.5 series. The suffix (-1 for Natural, -2 for Red) identifies the housing color. The base product number (2232572) remains constant across all color variants.

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

A: Yes, both parts operate across the identical temperature range of -30°C to 105°C. Temperature performance is not affected by housing color.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes, both the 2232572-1 and 1-2232572-2 are RoHS compliant with MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating.

Q: What is the pitch specification for these connector housings?

A: Both parts feature a 0.098" (2.50mm) pitch, which defines the center-to-center spacing between contact positions in the 3-position housing.

Q: Can these housings accommodate different contact types?

A: No, both housings are designed specifically for Tab contact type with crimp termination. Contact type is not interchangeable.

Q: What is the mounting configuration for these parts?

A: Both parts are configured as Free Hanging (In-Line) receptacle housings, suitable for direct mating with corresponding plug connectors without additional mounting hardware.
