Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity 32859-1 terminal is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Parameters:

• Wire gauge range: 22-26 AWG
• Stud size: 8 Stud
• Termination method: Crimp
• Contact material: Copper

Mechanical Parameters:

• Terminal type: Circular
• Insulation classification: Non-Insulated
• Thickness: 0.018" (0.46mm)
• Width - Outer Edges: 0.250" (6.35mm)
• Length - Overall: 0.544" (13.82mm)
• Mounting type: Free Hanging (In-Line)

Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS Compliance: Required
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

Parts meeting all specified parameters within these categories are classified as direct substitutes. The 32859-1 is a variant of the base product 32859, with the primary distinction being product status and contact finish specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity 32859 (without the -1 suffix) is the direct substitute for the 32859-1 terminal. Both parts are manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters.

The primary distinction between these parts is product status: the 32859-1 is designated Last Time Buy, while the 32859 maintains Active status with significantly higher inventory availability (30,255 pieces versus 13,385 pieces). Both parts maintain RoHS Compliance and Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited) certification.

The 32859 substitute part is suitable for direct replacement in all applications currently specified for the 32859-1. The contact finish specification (Tin) provided for the 32859 does not alter functional compatibility, as both parts maintain identical copper base material and crimp termination characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 32859 be used as a direct replacement for the 32859-1?

A: Yes. The 32859 is a direct substitute for the 32859-1. Both parts are identical in terminal type, stud size, wire gauge range, termination method, insulation classification, and all mechanical dimensions. The 32859 is currently in Active production status with higher inventory availability.

Q: What are the critical parameters that determine substitution compatibility?

A: Substitution compatibility is determined by equivalence in the following parameters: wire gauge (22-26 AWG), stud size (8 Stud), terminal type (Circular), termination method (Crimp), insulation classification (Non-Insulated), and all mechanical dimensions (thickness, width, length). Both parts meet these requirements.

Q: Why is the 32859-1 designated Last Time Buy?

A: Last Time Buy status indicates that the 32859-1 has been discontinued from production. The 32859 represents the current active equivalent part and should be specified for new designs and ongoing procurement.

Q: Are there differences in contact finish between the two parts?

A: The 32859 specifies Tin contact finish, while the 32859-1 does not specify a finish. Both parts utilize copper base material and maintain identical electrical and mechanical performance characteristics.

Q: What is the inventory status for each part?

A: The 32859-1 has 13,385 pieces in stock (Last Time Buy status). The 32859 has 30,255 pieces in stock (Active status). For new procurement, the 32859 offers superior supply chain availability.

Q: Are both parts RoHS Compliant?

A: Yes. Both the 32859-1 and 32859 are RoHS Compliant and maintain Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions.

Q: What wire gauges are supported by these terminals?

A: Both the 32859-1 and 32859 support wire gauges from 22 to 26 AWG with crimp termination.

Q: What is the stud size for these ring terminals?

A: Both parts feature an 8 stud configuration, suitable for circular stud applications.
