TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 350210-2 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 350210-2 is a rectangular connector header designed for through-hole mounting applications. This shrouded 4-wall connector accommodates 3 positions at 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch and operates within the Commercial MATE-N-LOK series. The connector features male pin contacts with gold mating finish and tin post finish, rated for 12A at 250VAC across an operating temperature range of -55°C to 85°C. The part maintains Active product status and is suitable for general-purpose board-to-cable/wire interconnection applications. Equivalent and substitute parts are identified to address inventory availability, compliance requirements, and packaging preferences while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 350210-2 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters: connector type (Header), contact type (Male Pin), number of positions (3), mating pitch (0.200"/5.08mm), mounting method (Through Hole), shrouding configuration (Shrouded - 4 Wall), termination type (Solder), fastening mechanism (Detent Lock), current rating (12A), voltage rating (250VAC), operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 85°C), insulation material (Polyamide/Nylon), and flammability classification (UL94 V-2).

The identified substitute parts maintain these core electrical and mechanical parameters. Variations in contact finish specifications and RoHS compliance status do not affect functional interchangeability within the defined parameter set. Packaging format differences (Bulk versus standard packaging) represent logistical variations only and do not impact connector performance or compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

350210-2 (Primary Part): This part is Active and maintains RoHS non-compliant status. Selection is appropriate for applications where RoHS compliance is not a requirement. Current inventory stands at 837 pieces.

1586514-2 (Direct Substitute): This part is functionally equivalent to the 350210-2 across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The 1586514-2 achieves ROHS3 compliance, making it suitable for applications requiring RoHS adherence. Inventory availability is higher at 2495 pieces. The packaging format is Bulk. This part is the preferred substitute when RoHS compliance is mandated.

350210-1 (Similar Substitute): This part maintains functional equivalence with one notable variation: the mating contact finish is Tin rather than Gold. All other electrical and mechanical parameters remain identical to the 350210-2. The 350210-1 achieves ROHS3 compliance and carries higher inventory at 2300 pieces with Bulk packaging. Selection of this part is appropriate when RoHS compliance is required and the tin mating contact finish is acceptable for the application.

Selection between substitute parts should be based on compliance requirements (RoHS status), contact finish specifications (Gold versus Tin mating surface), and inventory availability. All three parts maintain identical electrical performance, thermal ratings, and mechanical compatibility within the MATE-N-LOK series.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 1586514-2 and 350210-1 direct replacements for the 350210-2?

A: Both parts are functionally equivalent substitutes. The 1586514-2 maintains identical contact finish specifications (Gold mating, Tin post). The 350210-1 differs only in mating contact finish (Tin instead of Gold). All three parts share identical electrical ratings, mechanical dimensions, mounting characteristics, and operating parameters.

Q: What is the difference between the contact finishes on these parts?

A: The 350210-2 and 1586514-2 feature gold mating contact finish with 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness. The 350210-1 uses tin mating contact finish. Both finishes are applied to copper alloy contacts. The choice between gold and tin finishes depends on application-specific requirements for corrosion resistance, contact resistance, and environmental exposure.

Q: Does packaging format affect connector performance?

A: Packaging format (standard versus Bulk) is a logistical consideration only and does not affect electrical performance, mechanical compatibility, or functional operation. All parts within this substitution group maintain identical connector specifications regardless of packaging presentation.

Q: Are all three parts RoHS compliant?

A: The 350210-2 is RoHS non-compliant. Both the 1586514-2 and 350210-1 are ROHS3 compliant. Selection should reflect project compliance requirements. Applications requiring RoHS adherence must use either the 1586514-2 or 350210-1.

Q: Can these connectors be used interchangeably in existing designs?

A: Yes, within the constraints of contact finish requirements. The 1586514-2 is a direct interchange for the 350210-2. The 350210-1 is compatible provided the tin mating contact finish meets application specifications. All parts maintain identical pitch, position count, mounting method, current rating, voltage rating, and temperature range.

Q: What is the current inventory status for each part?

A: The 350210-2 has 837 pieces in stock. The 1586514-2 has 2495 pieces available. The 350210-1 has 2300 pieces available. Inventory levels should be verified at time of procurement.

Q: Are there any thermal or electrical performance differences between these parts?

A: No. All three parts maintain identical operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 85°C), current rating (12A), and voltage rating (250VAC). Thermal and electrical performance is equivalent across all substitute options.
