TE Connectivity 2822343-2 Rectangular Connector Plug Housing Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 2822343-2 is a 7-position rectangular connector plug housing from the Mini Multilock series. This connector housing is designed for crimp contact termination with a 0.094" (2.40mm) pitch configuration and operates across an industrial temperature range of -40°C to 105°C. The housing features a natural color polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) glass-filled insulation material with a locking ramp fastening mechanism suitable for free-hanging in-line applications. This part is actively manufactured and RoHS compliant. Substitute parts are identified to provide alternative options when the primary part number is unavailable or when specific color or compliance variants are required.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of rectangular connector housings is determined by strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The 2822343-2 and its identified substitute share identical specifications in the following areas: connector type (plug), contact type (female socket), position count (7), pitch (0.094"/2.40mm), row configuration (3 rows with 0.079"/2.00mm spacing), mounting method (free hanging in-line), termination method (crimp), insulation material (PBT glass-filled), operating temperature range (-40°C to 105°C), and moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1). The only permitted variation between the main part and substitute is the housing color, which does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. Both parts belong to the TE Connectivity Mini Multilock series and maintain the same base product number (2822343), differing only in the suffix designation that indicates color variant.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 2822343-2 and 2822343-1 are active production parts from TE Connectivity and maintain full compliance with RoHS regulations. The 2822343-2 carries RoHS standard compliance, while the 2822343-1 carries ROHS3 compliance, indicating the substitute meets the most current RoHS revision requirements. Selection between these parts should be based on application-specific requirements regarding housing color identification or compliance documentation needs. The 2822343-1 (green) offers higher inventory availability (500,100 pieces) compared to the 2822343-2 (1,022 pieces), which may influence lead time considerations. Both parts are electrically and mechanically interchangeable when used with compatible crimp contacts and mating receptacle housings from the Mini Multilock series. No functional performance differences exist between the two variants.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 2822343-2 and 2822343-1 fully interchangeable in my application?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. They share the same connector type, position count, pitch, row configuration, mounting method, termination type, insulation material, and operating temperature range. The only difference is housing color (natural versus green), which does not affect electrical performance or mechanical fit.

Q: What is the significance of the color difference between these two parts?

A: The color difference serves as a visual identifier for circuit board assembly, testing, or application-specific requirements. From an engineering standpoint, the color variation does not impact electrical conductivity, mechanical strength, or thermal performance. Selection should be based on application documentation or assembly process requirements.

Q: Can I use contacts from one part number with the housing of another?

A: Yes. Both housings accept the same crimp contact specifications from the Mini Multilock series. Contacts are not included with either housing and must be ordered separately. Ensure selected contacts match the 0.094" (2.40mm) pitch specification.

Q: What is the difference between RoHS and ROHS3 compliance?

A: Both certifications indicate compliance with Restriction of Hazardous Substances regulations. ROHS3 represents the most current revision of the RoHS directive. Both parts meet hazardous substance restrictions; the 2822343-1 carries documentation for the latest regulatory version.

Q: Are these housings suitable for high-temperature applications?

A: Both housings operate across -40°C to 105°C. This range is suitable for industrial and automotive applications within these temperature limits. Verify that your specific application requirements fall within this operating range.

Q: What does MSL 1 (Unlimited) mean for these connectors?

A: MSL 1 indicates the lowest moisture sensitivity level. These parts have unlimited shelf life and do not require special moisture-controlled storage conditions. They can be stored under standard warehouse conditions without desiccant packaging.

Q: Can I substitute the 2822343-2 with the 2822343-1 if my design specifies the natural color?

A: The parts are functionally identical. If color specification is driven by application requirements rather than design documentation, the green variant (2822343-1) is a direct substitute. If color is a documented design requirement, consult your design authority before substitution.
