TE Connectivity Erni 364298-E Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity Erni 364298-E is a 110 Position Receptacle connector with female sockets, featuring a 0.079" (2.00mm) pitch and right-angle through-hole mounting. This backplane connector utilizes press-fit termination and gold-plated contacts rated for operating temperatures between -55°C and 125°C. The part is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent alternatives that maintain electrical and mechanical compatibility for continued system support and new production applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity Erni 364298-E is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector Type: Receptacle, Female Sockets
• Number of Positions: 110
• Pitch: 0.079" (2.00mm)
• Number of Rows: 5
• Connector Style: A 22
• Termination: Press-Fit
• Contact Finish: Gold
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 125°C
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

Allowable Variations:

• Mounting Type: Board Edge or Through Hole configurations both support right-angle orientation
• Manufacturer: Different manufacturers produce compatible backplane connectors within this specification
• Packaging: Tray or Tube packaging does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility
• Additional Features: Upper Shield or Board Guide features do not preclude substitution

The substitute parts listed below satisfy all mandatory matching parameters while maintaining full electrical and mechanical interchangeability with the original part.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 5352068-1

The 5352068-1 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete 364298-E. This part maintains identical mounting configuration (Through Hole, Right Angle) and is produced by TE Connectivity, the original manufacturer of the 364298-E. The 5352068-1 carries ROHS3 compliance matching the original part specification and is currently in active production status with 7165 units in stock. The Z-PACK series designation and Upper Shield feature provide enhanced performance characteristics. Voltage rating of 500Vrms and current rating of 1.5 A exceed typical backplane connector requirements.

Secondary Substitute: Amphenol ICC (FCI) HM2R01PA5100N9LF

The HM2R01PA5100N9LF provides an alternative from a different manufacturer within the Millipacs® series. This part satisfies all mandatory electrical and mechanical parameters with Board Edge mounting capability in addition to through-hole configuration. The higher voltage rating of 750Vrms offers additional design margin. RoHS compliance is confirmed, though REACH status differs from the primary substitute. This option is suitable for applications where multi-source qualification is required.

Both substitute parts are active products with confirmed inventory availability and full compliance with environmental and regulatory standards applicable to backplane connectors.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the HM2R01PA5100N9LF be used as a direct replacement for the 364298-E in existing designs?

A: Yes. The HM2R01PA5100N9LF matches all critical parameters: 110 positions, 2.00mm pitch, 5 rows, A 22 style, press-fit termination, and gold contact finish. The Board Edge mounting capability is compatible with through-hole applications. Physical and electrical interchangeability is confirmed.

Q: What is the difference between the two substitute parts?

A: Both substitutes meet the mandatory compatibility criteria. The 5352068-1 maintains identical through-hole right-angle mounting and is from the original manufacturer. The HM2R01PA5100N9LF offers Board Edge mounting flexibility and higher voltage rating (750Vrms vs. 500Vrms). Selection depends on specific application requirements and multi-source qualification needs.

Q: Does packaging format (Tray vs. Tube) affect connector performance?

A: No. Packaging format is a logistics parameter only. The 364298-E ships in Tray packaging, while 5352068-1 ships in Tube packaging. Both contain identical connectors with no functional differences.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between the main part and substitutes?

A: The 364298-E and 5352068-1 both carry ROHS3 compliance. The HM2R01PA5100N9LF carries RoHS compliance. All three parts have MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating. REACH status varies: the 364298-E is REACH Unaffected, the 5352068-1 is Vendor Undefined, and the HM2R01PA5100N9LF is REACH Affected. Verify REACH requirements for your specific application.

Q: What electrical ratings should be considered for application design?

A: The substitute parts provide specified current and voltage ratings: 1.5 A current rating and either 500Vrms or 750Vrms voltage rating. The original 364298-E does not specify these ratings. Use the substitute part ratings for new design calculations and verification.

Q: Is the Board Guide feature on the 364298-E critical for substitution?

A: The Board Guide feature is present on the 364298-E and both substitute parts. This feature is maintained across all options and does not create substitution barriers.

Q: Can these connectors be used in CompactPCI applications?

A: The 5352068-1 is specifically designated for CompactPCI J1/J4 usage. The HM2R01PA5100N9LF and 364298-E do not carry this designation. Verify application requirements before selection.
