Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity 380635-2 is determined by strict equivalence across all electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary substitute identified is the TE Connectivity 5380635-2, which maintains identical specifications for pin acceptance range, socket depth, contact material composition, contact finish, operating temperature range, insertion force characteristics, and all mounting dimensions.

The substitution logic is based on the following critical parameters:

• Pin diameter acceptance range: 0.018" ~ 0.040" (0.46mm ~ 1.02mm)
• Termination method: Solder
• Tail configuration: No Tail
• Contact material: Beryllium Copper with gold finish
• Overall length and socket depth dimensions
• Mounting hole and flange diameter specifications
• Operating temperature range: -65°C ~ 126°C
• Insertion force range: 0.12N ~ 0.34N

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity 5380635-2 is the direct functional equivalent of the obsolete 380635-2 terminal connector. All electrical and mechanical parameters are identical, ensuring drop-in compatibility in existing circuit designs and PCB layouts.

The primary distinction between these parts is product status and regulatory compliance. The 380635-2 is classified as obsolete and carries RoHS non-compliant status. The 5380635-2 is an active product with ROHS3 compliance, making it the appropriate selection for new designs and ongoing production requirements where regulatory compliance is mandated.

Both parts share identical contact material specifications (beryllium copper with 30.0µin gold plating), operating temperature range (-65°C to 126°C), insertion force characteristics (0.12N to 0.34N), and moisture sensitivity classification (MSL 1 - Unlimited). The mechanical envelope, including overall length, socket depth, mounting hole diameter, and flange diameter, is identical across both parts.

For applications requiring RoHS compliance or where component obsolescence presents supply chain risk, the 5380635-2 is the specified replacement. For legacy systems where the original 380635-2 remains in service, the 5380635-2 provides functional continuity without design modification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5380635-2 be used as a direct replacement for the 380635-2 in existing designs?
