TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 2322948-1 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 2322948-1 is a 6-position rectangular connector receptacle housing designed for free-hanging in-line applications. This component features a female socket contact type with crimp termination and latch lock fastening. The housing is constructed from polyamide (PA6) nylon 6 glass-filled material and is rated for operating temperatures between -40°C and 125°C. The part is RoHS compliant and carries an MSL rating of 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity level). This connector is actively produced and stocked. Equivalent substitute parts are identified to provide alternative sourcing options when the primary part is unavailable or when specific application requirements necessitate alternative specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the TE Connectivity 2322948-1 are identified based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. The primary substitution criteria include:

Core Matching Parameters:

• Connector type: Receptacle
• Contact type: Female socket
• Number of positions: 6
• Number of rows: 1
• Mounting type: Free hanging (in-line)
• Contact termination: Crimp
• Fastening type: Latch lock

The Molex 0988211061 meets all core electrical and mechanical parameters required for functional equivalence. Variations in secondary parameters such as insulation material composition, color, and maximum operating temperature are noted but do not prevent substitution when application requirements fall within the substitute part's specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

TE Connectivity 2322948-1 Selection Criteria:

• Primary choice for applications requiring operating temperatures up to 125°C
• Orange housing color specification required
• Polyamide (PA6) nylon 6 glass-filled insulation material required
• RoHS compliant applications
• Active production status with established supply chain

Molex 0988211061 Selection Criteria:

• Suitable for applications with maximum operating temperature requirement of 85°C or lower
• Black housing color specification acceptable
• Polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) insulation material acceptable
• ROHS3 compliant applications
• Active production status with alternative supply availability

Both parts carry identical MSL ratings and share all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Selection between these parts depends on application-specific temperature requirements, color specifications, and material compatibility constraints. Both parts are actively produced and RoHS compliant.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0988211061 be used as a direct replacement for the TE Connectivity 2322948-1?

A: The Molex 0988211061 is functionally equivalent for applications where the operating temperature does not exceed 85°C. Both parts share identical connector type, contact type, position count, mounting configuration, termination method, and fastening mechanism. Differences in insulation material (PBT versus polyamide) and housing color (black versus orange) must be evaluated against specific application requirements.

Q: What are the key differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are: (1) maximum operating temperature—TE Connectivity rated to 125°C versus Molex rated to 85°C; (2) insulation material—polyamide (PA6) nylon 6 glass-filled versus polybutylene terephthalate (PBT); (3) housing color—orange versus black; (4) packaging—bag versus bulk. All electrical and mechanical connection parameters are identical.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The TE Connectivity 2322948-1 is RoHS compliant. The Molex 0988211061 is ROHS3 compliant. Both meet RoHS requirements for lead-free and restricted substance compliance.

Q: What is the MSL rating for both parts?

A: Both parts carry an MSL rating of 1 (unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity limitations during storage or handling.

Q: Do these parts include contacts?

A: No. Both the TE Connectivity 2322948-1 and Molex 0988211061 are connector housings only. Contacts are not included and must be sourced separately.

Q: What is the difference between the packaging options?

A: The TE Connectivity 2322948-1 is supplied in bag packaging, while the Molex 0988211061 is supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging format does not affect electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: Can I use the Molex part in a high-temperature application rated for 125°C?

A: No. The Molex 0988211061 is rated for a maximum operating temperature of 85°C. Applications requiring operation at temperatures above 85°C must use the TE Connectivity 2322948-1, which is rated to 125°C.
