TE Connectivity Erni 244295 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity Erni 244295 is a 96-position DIN receptacle connector with gold-plated contacts designed for PCB mounting in backplane applications. This connector is classified as obsolete and no longer in active production. Due to its obsolete status, identifying functionally equivalent substitute parts is essential for system maintenance, repair, and new design implementations where legacy compatibility is required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity Erni 244295 is based on strict alignment of the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Connector type: Receptacle with female sockets
• Number of positions: 96
• Pitch specification: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Number of rows: 3
• Contact finish: Gold plating
• Mounting technology: Through hole PCB mounting
• DIN connector standard compliance

The substitute part 1-148059-5 from TE Connectivity AMP Connectors satisfies all these parameters and maintains functional equivalence for backplane connector applications. The substitute is manufactured by the same parent company (TE Connectivity) and carries active product status with current inventory availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors part number 1-148059-5 is the direct substitute for the obsolete TE Connectivity Erni 244295. This substitution is supported by:

Product Status Alignment: The substitute part carries active product status with established supply chain availability (1413 pieces in current inventory), whereas the original part is obsolete with limited remaining stock (803 pieces).

Compliance and Certification: The substitute part is ROHS3 compliant and carries EAR99 ECCN classification, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component procurement and export control.

Functional Equivalence: Both connectors maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters: 96-position DIN receptacle configuration, 0.100" pitch, 3-row layout, gold contact finish, and through-hole PCB mounting.

Series Designation: The substitute part belongs to the Eurocard series, which is the standard DIN connector series for backplane applications and ensures compatibility with existing Eurocard-based systems.

For new designs and system replacements, the 1-148059-5 substitute part is the appropriate selection. For legacy system repairs requiring the exact original part, the remaining inventory of 244295 units may be sourced while available.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1-148059-5 substitute be used as a direct replacement for the 244295 in existing PCB designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical pitch (0.100"), position count (96), row configuration (3), and through-hole mounting specifications. PCB footprints and mounting hole patterns are compatible.

Q: What is the difference between the Erni and AMP Connectors divisions?

A: Both divisions are part of TE Connectivity. The AMP Connectors division maintains active product lines for standard connector categories, while the Erni division historically produced specialized connector variants. The 1-148059-5 represents the current active equivalent within TE Connectivity's product portfolio.

Q: Does the substitute part meet modern environmental and compliance standards?

A: Yes. The 1-148059-5 is ROHS3 compliant and carries MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, meeting current environmental and reliability standards for electronic component procurement.

Q: Are there any electrical performance differences between the original and substitute parts?

A: No electrical performance differences exist. Both connectors are 96-position DIN receptacles with gold-plated contacts. The substitute part provides documented operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C) and insulation material specification (Polyester, Glass Filled), which are standard for this connector class.

Q: What packaging format is available for the substitute part?

A: The 1-148059-5 is supplied in bulk packaging, suitable for production assembly and component inventory management.

Q: Is the substitute part available in current inventory?

A: Yes. The 1-148059-5 has 1413 pieces in new original stock, providing immediate availability for procurement and deployment.
