TE Connectivity 2350890-2 Rectangular Connector Plug Housing – Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 2350890-2 is a 20-position rectangular connector plug housing from the NTS series. This component is a panel-mount connector housing designed for crimp contact termination with a locking ramp fastening mechanism. The part is classified as Active product status and is ROHS3 compliant with REACH unaffected designation.

Substitute parts are necessary when primary inventory is unavailable, when alternative manufacturer variants are required for supply chain flexibility, or when design specifications allow for cross-compatible housing configurations within the same connector family.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for rectangular connector plug housings is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

Critical Substitution Parameters:

• Number of Positions: 20
• Number of Rows: 5
• Connector Type: Plug
• Contact Type: Tab
• Contact Termination: Crimp
• Mounting Type: Panel Mount
• Fastening Type: Locking Ramp
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to 125°C
• Series: NTS

All substitute parts listed maintain identical values across these parameters. Substitutes are grouped into two manufacturer categories: TE Connectivity AMP Connectors (2350890 series variants) and TE Connectivity Deutsch Connectors (1-2350890 series variants). Both manufacturer lines are part of the TE Connectivity product portfolio and share the same base product number 2350890, indicating design compatibility within the NTS series specification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All listed substitute parts maintain full parametric equivalence to the primary part 2350890-2 across connector configuration, electrical interface, and mechanical mounting specifications. Selection among available substitutes is based on the following criteria:

Compliance Status: Parts 2350890-2, 2350890-3, 1-2350890-1, 1-2350890-2, 1-2350890-3, and 1-2350890-4 carry ROHS3 Compliant designation. Part 2350890-4 carries RoHS Compliant status. All parts maintain REACH unaffected or unspecified status and EAR99 ECCN classification.

Product Status: All substitute parts are classified as Active, indicating current production and ongoing support.

Inventory Availability: Selection may be influenced by current stock levels. Part 1-2350890-1 offers the highest inventory at 2200 pieces. Parts 2350890-3 and 1-2350890-2 provide secondary availability at 1211 and 1286 pieces respectively.

Manufacturer Variant: TE Connectivity AMP Connectors (2350890 series) and TE Connectivity Deutsch Connectors (1-2350890 series) represent distinct manufacturing lines within the TE Connectivity portfolio. Both lines are qualified for the NTS series specification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 2350890-3 be used as a direct replacement for 2350890-2?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical parameters: 20-position plug housing, 5-row configuration, tab contact type, crimp termination, panel mount, locking ramp fastening, and -40°C to 125°C operating temperature. Both are ROHS3 compliant and Active status.

Q: What is the difference between the 2350890 series and the 1-2350890 series?

A: The 2350890 series is manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors, while the 1-2350890 series is manufactured by TE Connectivity Deutsch Connectors. Both are TE Connectivity product lines sharing the same base product number 2350890 and NTS series designation. All parametric specifications are identical.

Q: Is 2350890-4 compatible with designs specified for 2350890-2?

A: Yes. Part 2350890-4 maintains identical connector configuration, position count, row arrangement, contact type, termination method, mounting type, and fastening mechanism. The RoHS compliance designation differs (RoHS Compliant versus ROHS3 Compliant), but both meet regulatory requirements.

Q: Are contacts included with these connector housings?

A: No. All listed parts are connector housings only. Contacts are not included and must be sourced separately.

Q: What is the significance of the MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited)?

A: Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 indicates unlimited shelf life without special moisture control requirements during storage and handling.

Q: Can I mix substitute parts from different manufacturers in the same assembly?

A: All substitute parts maintain identical mechanical and electrical specifications within the NTS series. Mixing manufacturers is permissible from a technical compatibility standpoint, though design documentation and procurement procedures should reflect the specific part numbers used.

Q: What does "Contacts Not Included" mean for connector selection?

A: The connector housing provides the mechanical structure and contact retention. Tab contacts must be procured separately and crimped into the housing according to TE Connectivity specifications for the NTS series.
