TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 353212-5 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 353212-5 is a 32-position rectangular connector housing designed for plug applications. This connector features a 0.130" (3.30mm) pitch configuration with four rows and is manufactured from Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) material in blue color. The part is classified as Active product status and is ROHS3 compliant. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are required for applications where the primary part is unavailable or when alternative housing colors are acceptable within system design constraints.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 353212-5 are identified based on strict equivalence of electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitution logic is based on the following critical parameters that must remain constant across all equivalent parts:

Connector Type: Plug
Contact Type: Female Socket
Number of Positions: 32
Pitch: 0.130" (3.30mm)
Number of Rows: 4
Row Spacing: 0.181" (4.60mm)
Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
Contact Termination: Crimp
Fastening Type: Latch Lock
Insulation Material: Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT)
Operating Temperature Range: -30°C ~ 105°C
Features: Lock Plate
RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

The 353213-6 is identified as a parametric equivalent with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The only variation is the housing color, which changes from blue to gray. This color variation does not affect electrical performance or mechanical compatibility when the application permits alternative housing colors.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 353212-5 and 353213-6 maintain Active product status with full ROHS3 compliance and MSL Level 1 rating. Selection between these parts is determined by application-specific requirements regarding housing color. The 353212-5 provides blue housing, while the 353213-6 provides gray housing. All other electrical, mechanical, and compliance parameters are identical between the two parts. Component selection should be based on system design specifications that may mandate or permit specific housing colors for identification, traceability, or visual distinction purposes. Both parts are manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors and are available in tray packaging.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 353213-6 (gray) be used as a direct replacement for the 353212-5 (blue)?

A: The 353213-6 is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the 353212-5. The only difference is housing color. Direct substitution is possible when application requirements do not mandate blue housing color for identification or system design purposes.

Q: What are the critical parameters that define substitution eligibility for this connector?

A: Substitution eligibility is determined by equivalence in connector type, contact type, position count (32), pitch (0.130"/3.30mm), row configuration (4 rows with 0.181"/4.60mm spacing), mounting type, termination method, fastening type, insulation material, operating temperature range, and compliance certifications. Housing color variation does not affect substitution eligibility.

Q: Are contacts included with these connector housings?

A: No. Both the 353212-5 and 353213-6 are connector housings only. Contacts must be sourced separately and are not included with these parts.

Q: What is the significance of the Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) rating?

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

Q: Are both parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both the 353212-5 and 353213-6 are ROHS3 compliant, meeting all applicable Restriction of Hazardous Substances requirements.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for these connectors?

A: Both parts operate within the range of -30°C to 105°C, providing suitability for industrial and commercial temperature environments.

Q: What packaging format is used for these parts?

A: Both the 353212-5 and 353213-6 are supplied in tray packaging, suitable for automated assembly and component handling processes.
