Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the TE Connectivity 350714-2 are identified based on strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitution logic is based on the following key parameters that must remain identical:

• Connector Type: Header
• Contact Type: Male Pin
• Number of Positions: 15
• Number of Rows: 3
• Pitch - Mating: 0.250" (6.35mm)
• Row Spacing - Mating: 0.250" (6.35mm)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Termination: Solder
• Shrouding: Shrouded - 4 Wall
• Fastening Type: Locking Ramp
• Contact Material: Phosphor Bronze
• Contact Finish - Mating: Gold
• Contact Finish - Post: Tin
• Insulation Material: Polyamide (PA), Nylon
• Insulation Height: 0.550" (13.97mm)
• Contact Length - Post: 0.155" (3.94mm)
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
• Series: Universal MATE-N-LOK

The identified substitute part 350714-4 maintains all these parameters while differing only in packaging configuration and RoHS compliance status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 350714-2 and 350714-4 are Active status products manufactured by TE Connectivity within the Universal MATE-N-LOK series. The parts are electrically and mechanically identical across all functional parameters.

The primary distinction between these parts is compliance classification and packaging format. The 350714-4 carries RoHS Compliant certification, while the 350714-2 is marked as Not applicable for RoHS status. Both parts carry UL94 V-0 material flammability ratings and MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity levels.

Selection between these parts should be based on project-specific compliance requirements. Applications requiring RoHS compliance should specify the 350714-4. Applications without RoHS requirements may use either part. The 350714-4 is available in bulk packaging with higher inventory levels (1502 pieces versus 1071 pieces).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 350714-2 and 350714-4 electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts are identical in electrical function, contact configuration, pitch spacing, and mating characteristics. They operate within the same Universal MATE-N-LOK series and maintain identical contact materials, finishes, and dimensions.

Q: What is the difference between the 350714-2 and 350714-4?

A: The primary differences are packaging format and RoHS compliance status. The 350714-4 is supplied in bulk packaging and carries RoHS Compliant certification. The 350714-2 is supplied in standard packaging with RoHS status marked as Not applicable. All functional and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Can I use the 350714-4 in place of the 350714-2?

A: Yes, the 350714-4 is a direct substitute for the 350714-2 in all applications. The parts are mechanically and electrically equivalent. If your application requires RoHS compliance, the 350714-4 is the appropriate selection.

Q: What does the 15-position, 3-row configuration mean?

A: The connector accommodates 15 total male pin contacts arranged in 3 rows of 5 positions each. The 0.250" (6.35mm) pitch applies both to the spacing between contacts within a row and to the spacing between rows.

Q: What mounting method does this connector use?

A: Both parts use through-hole solder termination for permanent board mounting. The connector header is designed to be inserted through drilled holes in a printed circuit board and soldered in place.

Q: What is the shrouding configuration?

A: Both parts feature 4-wall shrouding, which provides mechanical protection and alignment guidance during mating operations. The shrouded design helps prevent accidental contact with live pins.

Q: What is the locking ramp fastening type?

A: The locking ramp is a mechanical feature that engages with corresponding features on the mating connector to secure the connection and prevent accidental disconnection during operation.

Q: Are these connectors suitable for general-purpose applications?

A: Yes. Both the 350714-2 and 350714-4 are rated for general-purpose applications. The UL94 V-0 flammability rating and phosphor bronze contact material with gold mating finish support reliable performance in standard industrial and commercial environments.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level (MSL) rating?

A: Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. These connectors do not require special moisture control during storage, handling, or assembly.
