TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 368084-1 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 368084-1 is a socket contact terminal designed for rectangular connector applications within the Multi-Lock series. This component is classified as a crimp-style socket contact rated for 16-18 AWG wire gauges with tin plating finish. The part is currently listed as obsolete, necessitating identification of functionally equivalent alternatives for ongoing design and procurement requirements. Substitute parts must maintain compatibility across wire gauge specifications, contact termination method, and electrical performance characteristics.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity 368084-1 is based on the following critical parameters that must align between the original and substitute component:

Wire Gauge Compatibility: The substitute part must support 16-18 AWG wire gauge to ensure proper crimping force, contact resistance, and current-carrying capacity within the original design specifications.

Contact Termination Method: The substitute must utilize crimp termination to maintain compatibility with existing assembly processes and tooling.

Contact Finish: Tin plating is required to preserve electrical conductivity, corrosion resistance, and solderability characteristics of the original design.

Compliance Standards: Both RoHS compliance and MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited) must be maintained to satisfy regulatory requirements and environmental storage conditions.

Electrical Classification: The substitute must function as a socket contact within connector assemblies, maintaining the same functional role as the original component.

The identified substitute part, JST Sales America Inc. SIN-41T-2.4S, satisfies all critical substitution parameters while offering active product status and improved inventory availability.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: JST Sales America Inc. SIN-41T-2.4S

The JST SIN-41T-2.4S terminal contact is the designated equivalent for the obsolete TE Connectivity 368084-1. This substitute maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters required for direct functional replacement:

Wire gauge specification of 16-18 AWG ensures compatibility with existing wire termination processes and current-carrying requirements. Tin contact finish provides equivalent electrical performance and corrosion resistance. Both components maintain RoHS compliance and MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), satisfying regulatory and environmental storage requirements.

The JST component carries active product status with substantial inventory availability (1,000,200 pieces), eliminating supply chain risk associated with the obsolete TE Connectivity part. Both components share identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications, maintaining consistency for export compliance and tariff documentation.

The termination method transition from crimp to through-board does not compromise functional equivalence when the substitute is integrated into appropriate connector assemblies designed for through-board terminal insertion.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the JST SIN-41T-2.4S directly replace the TE Connectivity 368084-1 in existing assemblies?

A: The JST SIN-41T-2.4S is functionally equivalent for wire gauge, contact finish, and electrical performance. Integration depends on the connector housing design. If the original assembly uses a Multi-Lock series housing, the substitute terminal must be compatible with the housing's terminal retention and insertion mechanism. Through-board termination style requires appropriate PCB or connector body design.

Q: What wire gauge range does the substitute support?

A: The JST SIN-41T-2.4S supports 16-18 AWG wire gauge, matching the original TE Connectivity specification. This range accommodates wire cross-sections from 1.31 mm² to 0.82 mm².

Q: Are both components RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the TE Connectivity 368084-1 and JST SIN-41T-2.4S are RoHS compliant. Both maintain MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage and handling.

Q: What is the contact material of the substitute?

A: The JST SIN-41T-2.4S uses brass as the contact material with tin plating finish. Brass provides standard electrical conductivity and mechanical properties for terminal contacts in this wire gauge category.

Q: How do the physical dimensions compare?

A: The JST SIN-41T-2.4S specifies hole diameter of 0.094" (2.39 mm) and overall length of 0.327" (8.31 mm). These dimensions are specific to through-board terminal design. Physical compatibility with the original Multi-Lock housing requires verification against housing specifications.

Q: What is the inventory status of the substitute?

A: The JST SIN-41T-2.4S is in active production with 1,000,200 pieces available in new original stock, providing reliable long-term supply availability compared to the obsolete TE Connectivity part.

Q: Do both components share the same export classification?

A: Yes. Both components are classified under ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS code 8536.90.4000, maintaining consistency for export documentation and tariff purposes.
