Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete 380598-2 terminal is based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. The primary substitute, TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 5380598-2, maintains identical specifications across all critical functional parameters: pin diameter acceptance range, pin hole diameter, termination method, tail configuration, contact material composition, contact finish specification, overall length, socket depth, and insertion force characteristics. Both components are designed to interface with identical pin sizes and accept the same solder termination process on printed circuit boards with 0.156" (3.96mm) thickness.

The key parameters determining substitution eligibility are:

• Accepts Pin Diameter: 0.018" ~ 0.040" (0.46mm ~ 1.02mm)
• Pin Hole Diameter: 0.048" (1.22mm)
• Termination: Solder
• Tail Type: No Tail
• Contact Material: Beryllium Copper
• Contact Finish: Gold
• Overall Length: 0.262" (6.65mm)
• Socket Depth: 0.145" (3.68mm)
• Insertion Force: 0.12N ~ 0.34N

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 5380598-2 is the direct equivalent substitute for the obsolete 380598-2 terminal. All electrical and mechanical parameters are identical, ensuring complete functional compatibility in existing circuit board designs. The substitute component maintains the same pin acceptance range, solder termination characteristics, and mechanical dimensions required for direct replacement.

The 5380598-2 offers additional advantages in terms of product lifecycle status and regulatory compliance. As an active product, the 5380598-2 provides assured long-term availability and supply chain continuity. The component achieves ROHS3 compliance, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements, whereas the original 380598-2 is classified as RoHS non-compliant. The operating temperature range of the substitute extends to -65°C to 126°C, providing a marginally wider thermal envelope compared to the original specification of -55°C to 125°C.

For applications requiring the 380598-2 terminal, direct substitution with the 5380598-2 is appropriate without design modification or re-qualification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5380598-2 be used as a direct replacement for the 380598-2 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 5380598-2 maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters, including pin diameter acceptance (0.018" ~ 0.040"), pin hole diameter (0.048"), solder termination method, overall length (0.262"), socket depth (0.145"), and insertion force (0.12N ~ 0.34N). Direct substitution requires no design changes.

Q: What is the difference in packaging between these two parts?

A: The 380598-2 is supplied in standard packaging, while the 5380598-2 is supplied in bulk packaging. Both components are identical in form, fit, and function. Packaging differences do not affect electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between the 380598-2 and 5380598-2?
