Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete 2-87522-2 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Manufacturer: TE Connectivity AMP Connectors
• Series: AMPMODU Mod IV
• Contact Type: Socket
• Termination Method: Crimp
• Wire Gauge Range: 26-30 AWG
• Contact Finish: Gold
• Contact Finish Thickness: 30.0µin (0.76µm)
• RoHS Compliance: RoHS Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

The substitute part 7-87522-2 maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications while transitioning from obsolete to active product status. Both components share the same base product number (87522) and are functionally interchangeable within AMPMODU Mod IV connector assemblies.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity 7-87522-2 is the direct equivalent for the obsolete 2-87522-2. Selection of the active substitute is based on the following engineering criteria:

Product Status: The 7-87522-2 maintains active product status with TE Connectivity, ensuring continued availability, technical support, and supply chain reliability. The 2-87522-2 is classified as obsolete and subject to discontinuation.

Compliance Certifications: Both parts maintain identical RoHS compliance status and Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 rating, confirming regulatory equivalence for applications requiring environmental compliance.

Electrical and Mechanical Specifications: All critical parameters including wire gauge accommodation (26-30 AWG), contact finish (gold at 30.0µin thickness), termination method (crimp), and series designation (AMPMODU Mod IV) are identical between the two parts.

Packaging Consideration: The substitute part is supplied in bulk packaging, which may differ from the original part's packaging specification. Bulk packaging does not affect component functionality or electrical performance.
