Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 2357798-2 are identified based on strict parametric equivalence within the TE Connectivity AMP Connectors rectangular connector product family. The substitution logic is based on the following critical parameters that must remain constant:

• Connector Type: Plug, Outer Shroud Contacts
• Number of Positions: 220
• Pitch: 0.020" (0.50mm)
• Number of Rows: 2
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Contact Finish: Gold
• Contact Finish Thickness: 8.00µin (0.203µm)
• Mated Stacking Height: 8mm
• Height Above Board: 0.293" (7.45mm)
• Features: Board Guide, Ground Plate, Solder Retention
• Series: Free Height (FH)

Parts meeting all these parameters are classified as parametric equivalents and may be substituted without modification to circuit board design, mating connector specifications, or electrical performance characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 2357798-2 and 2357798-1 are Active status products manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors and are fully equivalent for rectangular connector applications requiring 220 position plugs with outer shroud contacts in the Free Height series.

Compliance and Certification Status:

The 2357798-2 carries RoHS Compliant certification and REACH Unaffected status, confirming compliance with environmental and hazardous substance regulations. The 2357798-1 maintains equivalent ECCN and HTSUS classifications, ensuring regulatory alignment for export and trade purposes.

Selection Criteria:

• Primary Selection: 2357798-2 is the primary part number with higher inventory availability (473,277 pieces in stock).
• Substitute Selection: 2357798-1 serves as a parametric equivalent when 2357798-2 is unavailable or when lead time optimization is required. Current inventory for 2357798-1 is 1,045 pieces.

Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including contact finish thickness, mated stacking height, and board-level mounting characteristics. Selection between these parts is based on inventory status and delivery requirements rather than technical performance differences.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
