TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 282824-2 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 282824-2 is a 2-position terminal block header with male pins, shrouded on 2 sides, designed for vertical through-hole mounting with 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch spacing. This component operates at 15 A (UL) and 300 V (UL) across an operating temperature range of -40°C to 110°C. The part is manufactured from polyamide (PA66) nylon 6/6 housing with copper alloy contacts and tin mating finish. Currently active in production with 937 pieces in stock, this terminal block is ROHS3 compliant and MSL 1 rated. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical ratings, mechanical dimensions, and compliance certifications align with the original specification, enabling component interchangeability in applications where form factor and performance requirements remain constant.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity 282824-2 is determined by alignment of the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility: Voltage rating of 300 V (UL) and current capacity must meet or exceed 15 A (UL) to maintain circuit protection and performance margins.

Mechanical Compatibility: Number of positions (2), pitch spacing (5.08mm nominal tolerance ±0.03"), vertical orientation, and shrouded design (2 or 4 side) ensure physical fit within connector receptacles and PCB layouts.

Termination and Mounting: Through-hole or solder mounting types are functionally equivalent when the contact tail length and insulation height accommodate the target application's board thickness and assembly process.

Material and Environmental Ratings: Polyamide housing with copper alloy contacts, operating temperature range of -40°C to 110°C (or equivalent), and ROHS3 compliance ensure regulatory and environmental performance parity.

Compliance Certifications: ROHS3 compliance, MSL 1 rating, and REACH unaffected status must be maintained across substitute selections.

The On Shore Technology Inc. EDSTL955/2 qualifies as a substitute based on matching 2-position configuration, 5.00mm pitch (within tolerance of 5.08mm), vertical orientation, 300 V rating, polyamide nylon housing, ROHS3 compliance, and MSL 1 rating. Operational temperature range (-30°C to 105°C) is narrower than the original but remains suitable for standard industrial applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection: TE Connectivity 282824-2 remains the specified component for applications requiring the full operating temperature range of -40°C to 110°C and through-hole mounting with 0.472" (12.00mm) insulation height. This part is active in production with established supply chain availability (937 pieces in stock).

Substitute Selection: On Shore Technology EDSTL955/2 is electrically and mechanically compatible for applications operating within the narrower temperature range of -30°C to 105°C. The substitute provides equivalent 2-position, 300 V, vertical configuration with ROHS3 and MSL 1 compliance. Key differences include:

• Solder mounting versus through-hole mounting requires PCB design adaptation
• 4-side shrouding provides enhanced EMI shielding compared to 2-side shrouding
• Insulation height of 0.154" (3.90mm) versus 0.472" (12.00mm) affects board clearance and component stacking
• Contact tail length of 0.154" (3.90mm) versus 0.138" (3.50mm) requires PCB hole depth verification

Compliance Basis: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, MSL 1 rating, REACH unaffected status, and EAR99 export classification, ensuring regulatory equivalence for industrial and commercial applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the On Shore Technology EDSTL955/2 directly replace the TE Connectivity 282824-2 in existing PCB designs?

A: Direct replacement requires PCB design review. The EDSTL955/2 has a significantly different insulation height (0.154" versus 0.472") and uses solder mounting instead of through-hole mounting. Contact tail length also differs (0.154" versus 0.138"), requiring verification of PCB hole depth. Pitch spacing (5.00mm versus 5.08mm) is within standard tolerance but should be confirmed for connector receptacle compatibility.

Q: What is the significance of the shrouding difference (2-side versus 4-side)?

A: The TE Connectivity 282824-2 features 2-side shrouding, while the EDSTL955/2 features 4-side shrouding. Four-side shrouding provides additional electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding and mechanical protection. Both configurations maintain the same electrical performance at 300 V and 15 A (UL). Selection depends on application-specific EMI requirements and available board space.

Q: Are both parts suitable for the full -40°C to 110°C temperature range?

A: No. The TE Connectivity 282824-2 operates across -40°C to 110°C. The On Shore Technology EDSTL955/2 operates across -30°C to 105°C, a narrower range. Applications requiring operation below -30°C or above 105°C must use the TE Connectivity part.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both the TE Connectivity 282824-2 and On Shore Technology EDSTL955/2 are ROHS3 compliant, MSL 1 rated, REACH unaffected, and classified as EAR99 for export purposes. Both share the same HTSUS code (8536.69.4040).

Q: What is the difference between through-hole and solder mounting?

A: Through-hole mounting (TE Connectivity 282824-2) uses pre-drilled holes in the PCB with contact tails inserted and soldered from the reverse side. Solder mounting (On Shore Technology EDSTL955/2) involves direct soldering of contact tails to PCB pads. Solder mounting typically requires smaller PCB footprints and is common in high-density designs, while through-hole mounting provides mechanical robustness and easier rework.

Q: How do pitch spacing differences affect compatibility?

A: The TE Connectivity 282824-2 has a 5.08mm pitch, while the EDSTL955/2 has a 5.00mm pitch. This 0.08mm difference falls within standard manufacturing tolerance (typically ±0.03" or ±0.76mm). However, connector receptacles are designed for specific pitch values. Verify that the target receptacle accommodates 5.00mm pitch before substitution.

Q: Are there any material composition differences between the two parts?

A: Both parts use polyamide nylon housing and copper alloy contacts. The TE Connectivity part specifies PA66 (nylon 6/6), while the On Shore Technology part specifies PA (polyamide) without specific grade designation. PA66 offers slightly higher thermal and mechanical performance than standard PA, which aligns with the TE Connectivity part's extended temperature range.

Q: What inventory considerations apply to these parts?

A: The TE Connectivity 282824-2 has 937 pieces in stock (new original). The On Shore Technology EDSTL955/2 has 830 pieces in stock (new original). Both parts are active in production with established supply availability.
