TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 322329 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 322329 is an active-status ring terminal connector designed for circular stud applications. This non-insulated crimp terminal accommodates 14-16 AWG wire gauges and features a 6 stud configuration with brazed seam construction. The component is manufactured from nickel-plated contact material and is rated for high-temperature applications within the Solistrand and Strato-Therm series.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are maintained across wire gauge, stud size, termination method, and mounting configuration. Identifying suitable alternatives ensures design flexibility and supply chain continuity while preserving circuit performance and reliability.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for ring terminal connectors is determined by strict alignment of the following parameters:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Wire gauge range (14-16 AWG)
• Stud size (6 stud configuration)
• Terminal type (circular)
• Termination method (crimp)
• Mounting configuration (free hanging, in-line)
• Insulation type (non-insulated)

The 3M HT-12-6S terminal meets all critical electrical and mechanical substitution criteria. Both components accommodate identical wire gauges, feature matching stud sizes, employ crimp termination, and maintain non-insulated construction. Physical dimensions vary within acceptable tolerances for the application category. Both components maintain active product status and comply with RoHS requirements, ensuring regulatory alignment for modern manufacturing environments.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the TE Connectivity 322329 and 3M HT-12-6S terminals are active-status components with confirmed RoHS compliance, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing and assembly.

The TE Connectivity 322329 features nickel contact material with brazed seam construction, providing established performance characteristics within the Solistrand and Strato-Therm series. This component maintains a shorter overall length of 0.480 inches.

The 3M HT-12-6S offers equivalent electrical performance with steel contact material finished in nickel and butted seam construction. This component features a longer overall length of 0.600 inches. Both components share identical wire gauge capacity, stud configuration, and termination methodology.

Selection between these components depends on physical space constraints within the assembly and specific design requirements for contact material composition and seam construction methodology. Both components satisfy the core functional requirements for 14-16 AWG crimp ring terminals with 6 stud circular configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 3M HT-12-6S directly replace the TE Connectivity 322329 in existing designs?

A: The 3M HT-12-6S meets all critical electrical and mechanical substitution parameters including wire gauge, stud size, termination method, and mounting configuration. The primary dimensional difference is overall length (0.600 inches versus 0.480 inches). Physical space availability within the assembly must be confirmed before substitution.

Q: What are the key differences between these two ring terminal connectors?

A: The components differ in overall length, contact material composition, and seam construction method. The TE Connectivity 322329 uses nickel contact material with brazed seam construction, while the 3M HT-12-6S uses steel contact material with nickel finish and butted seam construction. Both maintain identical wire gauge capacity and stud configuration.

Q: Are both components RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The TE Connectivity 322329 is RoHS Compliant, and the 3M HT-12-6S is ROHS3 Compliant. Both components meet current regulatory requirements for restricted substance limitations.

Q: What wire gauges do these terminals accommodate?

A: Both the TE Connectivity 322329 and 3M HT-12-6S are rated for 14-16 AWG wire gauges with crimp termination.

Q: Are these terminals insulated or non-insulated?

A: Both components are non-insulated ring terminal connectors. No insulation material is present on either component.

Q: What is the stud size for both terminals?

A: Both terminals feature a 6 stud circular configuration, compatible with standard 6-stud mounting applications.

Q: What is the packaging format for these components?

A: Both components are supplied in bulk packaging format.
