TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 368000-1 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 368000-1 is a 3-position rectangular connector receptacle housing designed for the Junior Power Timer series. This component functions as a female socket receptacle with crimp termination, featuring sealed construction and black polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) glass-filled insulation material. The part is classified as Active product status with ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity level rating. Substitute parts are identified when inventory constraints, supply chain disruptions, or design revisions necessitate alternative connector housings that maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications within the Junior Power Timer connector family.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 368000-1 are qualified based on strict parametric equivalence within the Junior Power Timer rectangular connector family. The substitution logic is determined by the following critical parameters that must remain identical across all qualified alternatives:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Connector Type: Receptacle
• Contact Type: Female Socket
• Number of Positions: 3
• Number of Rows: 1
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Contact Termination: Crimp
• Color: Black
• Features: Sealed
• Insulation Material: Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT), Glass Filled
• Series: Junior Power Timer
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

The substitute parts 368356-1 and 85205-1 satisfy all critical parameters and are therefore classified as parametric equivalents. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical interface characteristics, enabling direct substitution in applications requiring 3-position female socket receptacle housings within the Junior Power Timer connector series.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

368000-1 (Primary Part): This part maintains ROHS3 compliance certification and is the designated base product number for the Junior Power Timer 3-position receptacle housing. Selection is appropriate when ROHS3 compliance documentation is required for regulatory or contractual purposes.

368356-1 (Substitute): This part provides parametric equivalence with RoHS compliance certification. The REACH status is listed as Vendor Undefined, which differs from the primary part. This substitute is suitable for applications where RoHS compliance is required but ROHS3 specific certification is not mandated. Current inventory of 1152 pieces provides adequate supply availability.

85205-1 (Substitute): This part maintains ROHS3 compliance and provides the highest current inventory level at 1603 pieces. The REACH status is listed as Vendor Undefined. This substitute is suitable for high-volume applications requiring 3-position female socket receptacle housings within the Junior Power Timer series and offers superior supply chain availability.

All three parts are Active product status and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications for the 3-position receptacle housing function. Selection between primary and substitute parts should be based on compliance documentation requirements, inventory availability, and supply chain considerations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 368356-1 and 85205-1 be used interchangeably with 368000-1?

A: Yes. Both substitute parts satisfy all critical parametric requirements for the 3-position female socket receptacle housing within the Junior Power Timer connector series. All three parts maintain identical connector type, contact type, number of positions, mounting configuration, termination method, color, sealing features, and insulation material specifications.

Q: What is the difference between ROHS3 Compliant and RoHS Compliant designations?

A: ROHS3 Compliant indicates compliance with the third iteration of the Restriction of Hazardous Substances directive. RoHS Compliant indicates general RoHS compliance without specification of the particular directive version. The primary part 368000-1 and substitute 85205-1 carry ROHS3 designation, while 368356-1 carries general RoHS designation. Selection should align with specific regulatory requirements.

Q: Are contacts included with these receptacle housings?

A: No. All three parts (368000-1, 368356-1, and 85205-1) are receptacle housings only. Contacts are not included and must be sourced separately as specified in the product documentation.

Q: What does Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited) mean?

A: MSL 1 (Unlimited) indicates that the component has no moisture sensitivity restrictions and does not require special handling, storage, or baking procedures prior to assembly. All three parts carry this designation.

Q: Which substitute part should be selected for maximum supply availability?

A: Part 85205-1 currently maintains the highest inventory level at 1603 pieces, compared to 1152 pieces for 368356-1 and 1033 pieces for the primary part 368000-1. Selection of 85205-1 provides superior supply chain availability for high-volume production requirements.

Q: Are there any differences in the electrical performance between these three parts?

A: No. All three parts are parametric equivalents within the Junior Power Timer rectangular connector family and maintain identical electrical interface specifications for 3-position female socket receptacle housing applications.

Q: What is the significance of the ECCN and HTSUS codes?

A: ECCN (Export Control Classification Number) EAR99 indicates that these components are not subject to export control restrictions. HTSUS code 8536.69.8000 is the harmonized tariff schedule classification for electrical connectors. All three parts carry identical designations.
