Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 35492 qualifies as a direct substitute for part 35627 based on the following alignment of critical parameters:

Matching Parameters:

• Terminal Type: Circular
• Stud/Tab Size: 1/4 Stud
• Wire Gauge: 10-12 AWG
• Termination Method: Crimp
• Insulation Material: Poly-Vinyl Chloride (PVC)
• Contact Material: Copper
• Contact Finish: Tin
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Features: Serrated Termination
• Color: Black
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

Functional Equivalence: Both parts are ring terminal connectors with identical electrical and mechanical interface specifications. The 35492 is manufactured by the same supplier (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors) and maintains compatibility with 1/4 inch stud applications for 10-12 AWG wire connections.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Recommendation: TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 35492

The 35492 is the active equivalent for the obsolete 35627. Selection of the 35492 is based on the following engineering criteria:

Product Status: The 35492 maintains active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain reliability. The 35627 is obsolete and subject to discontinuation without notice.

Compliance Status: The 35492 is RoHS Compliant, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements for electronic components. The 35627 is RoHS non-compliant and does not satisfy modern procurement standards for many applications and jurisdictions.

Functional Compatibility: Both parts share identical electrical interface specifications (1/4 stud, 10-12 AWG, crimp termination, copper tin-plated contacts) and mechanical mounting characteristics (free hanging in-line configuration). The minor dimensional variations (thickness 0.040" vs. 0.039", length 1.247" vs. 1.200", insulation diameter 0.300" vs. 0.150"~0.230") do not affect functional performance in standard 1/4 stud applications.

Regulatory Alignment: The 35492 satisfies current environmental compliance requirements, making it suitable for new designs and applications subject to RoHS directives.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 35492 directly replace the 35627 in existing applications?

A: Yes. Both parts are ring terminal connectors with identical stud size (1/4 inch), wire gauge rating (10-12 AWG), termination method (crimp), and contact specifications (copper with tin finish). The mechanical interface is functionally equivalent for 1/4 stud applications.

Q: What are the key differences between these parts?

A: The primary differences are product status and regulatory compliance. The 35627 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant, while the 35492 is active production and RoHS Compliant. Minor dimensional variations exist in thickness, overall length, and insulation diameter, but these do not affect electrical or mechanical performance in standard applications.

Q: Why is the insulation diameter different between the two parts?

A: The 35627 specifies an insulation diameter range of 0.150" to 0.230", while the 35492 specifies 0.300". Both accommodate 10-12 AWG wire gauges. The difference reflects design variations between the Plasti-Bond and Plasti-Grip series but does not affect functional compatibility with standard wire sizes in this gauge range.

Q: What packaging is available for the 35492?

A: The 35492 is supplied in bulk packaging, with 21,920 pieces currently in stock. The 35627 was supplied in unspecified packaging with 798 pieces in stock.

Q: Are there any certifications or compliance differences I should consider?

A: The 35492 is RoHS Compliant, while the 35627 is RoHS non-compliant. Both parts carry the same ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS code (8536.90.4000) classifications. Both have MSL Rating 1 (Unlimited moisture sensitivity level). For applications subject to RoHS requirements, the 35492 is the appropriate selection.

Q: Can I use the 35492 in new designs?

A: Yes. The 35492 is the recommended choice for new designs. Its active production status, RoHS compliance, and functional equivalence to the obsolete 35627 make it suitable for all applications requiring 1/4 stud ring terminals rated for 10-12 AWG wire.
