Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity 350705-7 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Series Compatibility: Both parts must belong to the Universal MATE-N-LOK series
• Contact Type: Split pin configuration required
• Termination Method: Crimp termination only
• Wire Gauge Specification: 14-20 AWG range
• Contact Finish: Gold plating with 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness
• Moisture Sensitivity: MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating

The substitute part 350687-7 meets all these criteria. The primary difference between the main part and its substitute is the packaging format: the 350705-7 is supplied in bulk packaging, while the 350687-7 is supplied in cut tape (CT) packaging. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, ensuring functional interchangeability within the MATE-N-LOK connector system.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 350705-7 and 350687-7 are active products from TE Connectivity AMP Connectors with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on the following factors:

350705-7 (Bulk Packaging): Select this part when bulk quantities are required for high-volume assembly operations or when procurement specifications explicitly require bulk packaging format.

350687-7 (Cut Tape Packaging): Select this part when cut tape packaging is preferred for automated pick-and-place assembly, when smaller quantity requirements exist, or when RoHS Compliant certification is a mandatory requirement. This part offers higher current inventory availability at 2200 pieces.

Both parts carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.90.4000) classifications. The substitute part 350687-7 provides RoHS Compliant certification, which may be required for specific end-use applications or regional compliance mandates.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 350705-7 and 350687-7 electrically identical?

A: Yes. Both parts feature identical wire gauge specifications (14-20 AWG), gold contact finish (30.0µin thickness), crimp termination, and split pin configuration within the Universal MATE-N-LOK series.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The primary difference is packaging format. The 350705-7 is supplied in bulk packaging, while the 350687-7 is supplied in cut tape (CT) packaging. The 350687-7 also carries RoHS Compliant certification.

Q: Can I use 350687-7 as a direct replacement for 350705-7?

A: Yes, the 350687-7 is a direct functional substitute for the 350705-7. Both parts are mechanically and electrically compatible within MATE-N-LOK connector assemblies. Packaging format differences do not affect component performance or interchangeability.

Q: Which part should I select for automated assembly?

A: The 350687-7 in cut tape (CT) packaging is optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly operations. The 350705-7 bulk packaging is suitable for manual assembly or high-volume reel feeding systems.

Q: Does the RoHS Compliant status of 350687-7 affect compatibility?

A: No. RoHS Compliant status indicates environmental and regulatory compliance but does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. Both parts function identically within MATE-N-LOK assemblies.

Q: Are there any wire gauge or termination differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts accommodate 14-20 AWG wire and use crimp termination. Electrical performance and contact specifications are identical.
