TE Connectivity 2822343-4 Rectangular Connector Plug Housing

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 2822343-4 is a 7-position rectangular connector plug housing from the Mini Multilock series. This connector housing is designed for crimp-terminated female socket contacts with a 0.094" (2.40mm) pitch configuration. The housing features a locking ramp fastening mechanism and is constructed from glass-filled polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) material. The part is actively manufactured and maintains RoHS compliance status. Equivalent substitute parts may be required due to color availability, inventory considerations, or specific application requirements while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the TE Connectivity 2822343-4 are determined by strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The following parameters must remain identical for a part to qualify as a direct substitute:

• Connector type (Plug)
• Contact type (Female Socket)
• Number of positions (7)
• Pitch specification (0.094" / 2.40mm)
• Number of rows (3)
• Row spacing (0.079" / 2.00mm)
• Mounting type (Free Hanging / In-Line)
• Contact termination method (Crimp)
• Fastening type (Locking Ramp)
• Insulation material (PBT, Glass Filled)
• Operating temperature range (-40°C to 105°C)
• Series classification (Mini Multilock)

The substitute part 2822343-1 maintains complete equivalence across all these parameters. The only variation is the housing color, which does not affect electrical or mechanical performance. Both parts are manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors and share the same base product number (2822343).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the TE Connectivity 2822343-4 and 2822343-1 are active products with full manufacturing support. The 2822343-4 (gray housing) and 2822343-1 (green housing) are electrically and mechanically identical, differing only in housing color.

Selection between these parts should be based on the following criteria:

2822343-4 (Gray Housing): Select this part when gray housing color is specified in the application design or when color coding requirements designate gray for this connector position.

2822343-1 (Green Housing): Select this part when green housing color is specified in the application design or when color coding requirements designate green for this connector position. This part carries ROHS3 compliance certification.

Both parts maintain RoHS compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1), making them suitable for standard industrial and commercial applications within the specified operating temperature range of -40°C to 105°C. The choice between these substitutes is determined by application-specific color requirements and compliance certifications rather than electrical or mechanical performance differences.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 2822343-1 (green) be used as a direct replacement for the 2822343-4 (gray)?

A: Yes. The 2822343-1 is a direct electrical and mechanical equivalent to the 2822343-4. Both parts share identical specifications for connector type, contact configuration, pitch, row spacing, termination method, and operating temperature range. The only difference is the housing color.

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

A: Housing color serves as a visual identifier in connector applications and may be specified for color-coding standards or application-specific requirements. The color difference does not affect electrical performance, mechanical compatibility, or thermal characteristics.

Q: Are both parts suitable for the same operating temperature range?

A: Yes. Both the 2822343-4 and 2822343-1 operate across the identical temperature range of -40°C to 105°C and are constructed from the same glass-filled PBT material.

Q: What is the difference between RoHS Compliant and ROHS3 Compliant status?

A: Both certifications indicate compliance with Restriction of Hazardous Substances regulations. ROHS3 represents the current version of the RoHS directive. Both parts meet hazardous substance restrictions and are suitable for regulated applications.

Q: Do these connector housings include contacts?

A: No. Both the 2822343-4 and 2822343-1 are housings only. Female socket contacts must be sourced separately and installed through crimp termination.

Q: What is the Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) rating, and what does MSL 1 mean?

A: MSL 1 indicates unlimited moisture sensitivity, meaning the component has no moisture-related storage or handling restrictions. These parts can be stored and handled under standard conditions without special moisture control measures.

Q: Are these parts suitable for applications requiring RoHS compliance?

A: Yes. Both parts carry RoHS compliance certifications, making them suitable for applications with RoHS requirements. The 2822343-1 carries the current ROHS3 certification.
