Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity 322009 is based on electrical and mechanical compatibility across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility: Wire gauge (4 AWG), stud size (#10), contact material (copper), and contact finish (tin) must remain identical to ensure proper current-carrying capacity and connection integrity.

Mechanical Compatibility: Terminal type (circular), termination method (crimp), mounting configuration (free hanging in-line), and serrated termination feature must match to ensure physical fit and installation compatibility.

Functional Compatibility: Insulation type (insulated) and insulation material properties must support the intended application environment.

The substitute part TE Connectivity 324111 satisfies all critical electrical and mechanical parameters while offering active product status and improved compliance certification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity 324111 serves as the direct substitute for the obsolete 322009 model. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications for wire gauge, stud size, terminal type, and termination method. The primary distinction is product status and regulatory compliance.

The 324111 is an active product with RoHS compliance certification, whereas the 322009 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. For new designs and ongoing procurement, the 324111 is the appropriate selection. The insulation material differs (polyamide/nylon versus vinyl), but both materials provide equivalent functional performance for the specified application parameters.

Both parts carry identical MSL ratings and ECCN classifications. Inventory availability is confirmed for both components.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 324111 directly replace the 322009 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical wire gauge (4 AWG), stud size (#10), terminal type (circular), and crimp termination specifications. The mechanical and electrical interfaces are equivalent.

Q: What is the difference in insulation material between these parts?

A: The 322009 uses vinyl insulation, while the 324111 uses polyamide (PA) nylon insulation. Both materials are rated for MSL 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity) and provide equivalent functional performance for the specified application.

Q: Why is the 322009 listed as obsolete?

A: The 322009 is classified as obsolete by TE Connectivity. The 324111 represents the active equivalent product for this terminal configuration.

Q: Does the 324111 meet RoHS compliance requirements?

A: Yes. The 324111 is RoHS compliant, whereas the 322009 is RoHS non-compliant. For applications requiring RoHS compliance, the 324111 is the required selection.

Q: Are there dimensional differences between these parts?

A: Yes. The 322009 has an outer width of 0.679" (17.25mm) and overall length of 1.974" (50.14mm), while the 324111 measures 0.546" (13.87mm) in width and 1.812" (46.02mm) in length. The insulation diameter also differs: 0.436" (11.07mm) for the 322009 versus 0.382" (9.70mm) for the 324111. These dimensional variations reflect the different insulation materials used.

Q: What packaging options are available?

A: The 322009 is supplied in standard packaging, while the 324111 is available in bulk packaging. Both have confirmed inventory availability.

Q: Are both parts suitable for the same wire gauge applications?

A: Yes. Both parts are rated for 4 AWG wire gauge with identical #10 stud circular configuration, ensuring equivalent current-carrying capacity and connection performance.
