Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity Erni 225720 is based on strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Number of Pins: 10
• Terminal Type: Screw Terminal, Power Tap
• Mounting Type: Through Hole, Right Angle
• Termination Method: Press-Fit
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

Allowable Parameter Variations:

• Current Rating: Substitute parts may exceed the 100 A rating of the original component, provided the higher rating does not introduce incompatibility with the intended application
• Product Status: Active substitute parts are preferred to address obsolescence
• Contact Finish and Material: Variations are acceptable if the substitute maintains electrical and mechanical compatibility

The Würth Elektronik 7461107 satisfies all mandatory matching parameters while providing an enhanced current rating of 240 A, making it a direct functional equivalent for the obsolete TE Connectivity Erni 225720.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Würth Elektronik 7461107 is the designated equivalent for the obsolete TE Connectivity Erni 225720. Selection of this substitute is based on the following engineering criteria:

Compliance and Regulatory Status: Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and share identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications, ensuring regulatory continuity. The substitute part is currently in active production status, eliminating supply chain risk associated with the obsolete original component.

Functional Equivalence: The 7461107 maintains all critical functional parameters: 10-pin configuration, screw terminal power tap design, through-hole right-angle mounting, and press-fit termination. The enhanced current rating of 240 A provides additional design margin without introducing mechanical or electrical incompatibility.

Moisture and Environmental Stability: Both components share MSL 1 (Unlimited) classification, indicating identical moisture sensitivity characteristics and environmental performance requirements.

The Würth Elektronik 7461107 is suitable for direct substitution in applications previously specified for the TE Connectivity Erni 225720.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Würth Elektronik 7461107 be used as a direct replacement for the TE Connectivity Erni 225720?

A: Yes. Both components share identical pin count (10), terminal type (screw terminal power tap), mounting configuration (through-hole right angle), and termination method (press-fit). The substitute part meets all mandatory compatibility parameters.

Q: What is the significance of the higher current rating on the substitute part?

A: The Würth Elektronik 7461107 is rated for 240 A compared to the original 100 A rating. This higher rating does not create incompatibility; it provides additional electrical capacity. Applications designed for 100 A operation remain fully compatible with the 240 A-rated substitute.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the original and substitute parts?

A: The TE Connectivity Erni 225720 packaging information is not specified in the available data. The Würth Elektronik 7461107 is supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging configuration should be verified against specific procurement requirements.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory standards?

A: Yes. Both components are ROHS3 compliant and share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.90.4000) classifications. The substitute part maintains full regulatory equivalence.

Q: Why is the original part classified as obsolete?

A: The TE Connectivity Erni 225720 is listed as obsolete, indicating it is no longer in active production. The Würth Elektronik 7461107 is an active product, ensuring continued availability for new designs and replacement applications.

Q: Are there any electrical performance differences between the two components?

A: Both components feature press-fit termination, tin contact finish, and copper alloy contact material. The primary electrical difference is the current rating, where the substitute provides enhanced capacity without reducing compatibility with the original specification.
