TE Connectivity 282342-1 Rectangular Connector Housing Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 282342-1 is a 4-position rectangular connector receptacle housing with 5.00mm pitch, designed for the Junior Power Timer series. This component serves as the female socket housing in applications requiring splash-proof connectivity with crimp-style termination. The part is currently active in production with 699 units in stock.

Equivalent and substitute parts are identified when design requirements permit alternative configurations while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility within the same connector family. Substitution becomes necessary when primary part availability is limited, when alternative color specifications are acceptable, or when inventory optimization is required without compromising functional performance.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The TE Connectivity 282192-1 is identified as a parametric equivalent to the 282342-1 based on the following critical substitution criteria:

Matching Parameters (Substitution Basis):

• Connector Type: Receptacle
• Contact Type: Female Socket
• Number of Positions: 4
• Pitch: 0.197" (5.00mm)
• Number of Rows: 1
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Contact Termination: Crimp
• Insulation Material: Polyamide (PA66), Nylon 6/6
• Operating Temperature Range: -30°C ~ 125°C
• Features: Splash-Proof
• Series: Junior Power Timer
• Product Status: Active
• Packaging: Bulk

Differing Parameter:

• Color: 282342-1 is Gray; 282192-1 is Black

The 282192-1 maintains complete electrical and mechanical compatibility with the 282342-1. The only distinction is the housing color, which does not affect functional performance, electrical characteristics, or mechanical fit within the Junior Power Timer connector system.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

282342-1 (Gray Housing):

• Primary selection when gray color specification is required by design documentation or visual identification standards
• Active product status with established supply chain
• RoHS Compliant certification
• Current inventory: 699 units

282192-1 (Black Housing):

• Direct functional substitute when color specification is not a design constraint
• Active product status with higher inventory availability (1027 units)
• ROHS3 Compliant certification, representing updated compliance standard
• Recommended for applications where increased inventory buffer is beneficial
• Identical electrical and mechanical performance to 282342-1

Both parts are manufactured by TE Connectivity within the Junior Power Timer series and maintain full compatibility with the same contact sets and mating connectors. Selection between these parts should be based solely on color requirement and inventory availability, as all other electrical, mechanical, and environmental specifications are identical.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 282192-1 (black) be used as a direct replacement for the 282342-1 (gray)?

A: Yes. The 282192-1 is a direct functional equivalent. All electrical characteristics, mechanical dimensions, pitch, number of positions, mounting type, contact termination method, insulation material, operating temperature range, and splash-proof features are identical. The only difference is housing color.

Q: Are there any electrical performance differences between the gray and black versions?

A: No. Both housings are manufactured from Polyamide (PA66), Nylon 6/6 with identical electrical properties. Color is a cosmetic distinction only and does not affect electrical performance, impedance, or signal integrity.

Q: Do these parts require the same contact sets?

A: Yes. Both the 282342-1 and 282192-1 are 4-position housings with 5.00mm pitch and crimp termination. They accept the same contact components from the Junior Power Timer series.

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

A: Both certifications indicate compliance with Restriction of Hazardous Substances regulations. ROHS3 represents the updated version of the standard. Both parts meet hazardous substance restrictions and are suitable for the same applications.

Q: Can I mix gray and black housings in the same assembly?

A: Functionally, yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. However, design documentation and visual identification standards should be reviewed to determine if color consistency is required for your specific application.

Q: Are contacts included with these housings?

A: No. Both the 282342-1 and 282192-1 are housings only. Contacts must be ordered separately and crimped into the housing according to TE Connectivity specifications.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level, and what does it mean?

A: Both parts have MSL 1 (Unlimited), which indicates these components have unlimited shelf life and do not require special moisture-controlled storage conditions. They can be stored and handled under standard environmental conditions.

Q: Are these parts suitable for outdoor applications?

A: Both parts feature splash-proof design and operate across the temperature range of -30°C to 125°C. Splash-proof protection provides resistance to water spray and moisture ingress. Specific outdoor application requirements should be evaluated against the connector's environmental ratings and the application's exposure conditions.
