Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 520895-1 is based on electrical and mechanical compatibility across the following critical parameters:

Substitution Criteria:

• Terminal Type: Quick Connect, Disconnect functionality
• Gender: Female, Receptacle configuration
• Terminal Size: 0.250" (6.35mm) contact interface
• Number of Positions: Single position housing
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line) orientation
• Color: Black nylon housing
• Material: Nylon construction
• Regulatory Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant status
• Moisture Sensitivity: MSL 1 (Unlimited)

The substitute part 520961-1 meets all substitution criteria. While it belongs to a different series (Mark I versus Positive Lock EX) and carries an active product status, it maintains functional and mechanical equivalence for the specified application parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 520961-1 serves as a direct functional substitute for the obsolete 520895-1. Both connectors share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters: terminal type, gender, terminal size, position count, mounting configuration, color, material composition, and regulatory compliance status.

The primary distinction between these parts is product lifecycle status. The 520895-1 is obsolete, while the 520961-1 maintains active production status. This difference in lifecycle positioning, combined with the 520961-1's significantly higher inventory availability (19,513 pieces versus 870 pieces), establishes it as the preferred selection for new designs and ongoing supply requirements.

Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating, ensuring compatibility with current manufacturing and environmental standards. The 520961-1 is packaged in bulk format, supporting efficient procurement for production environments.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 520961-1 directly replace the 520895-1 in existing applications?

A: Yes. The 520961-1 meets all electrical and mechanical specifications of the 520895-1, including terminal type, gender, terminal size, position count, mounting type, color, material, and regulatory compliance. Both are 1 Position Female Receptacle connectors rated for 0.250" (6.35mm) quick connect and disconnect applications.

Q: What is the significance of the series difference between Positive Lock EX and Mark I?

A: The series designation indicates the connector family and design generation. While the 520895-1 belongs to the Positive Lock EX series and the 520961-1 belongs to the Mark I series, both maintain functional equivalence across all specified parameters for this application category.

Q: Why is the 520895-1 classified as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the part is no longer in active production. The 520961-1, with active product status and higher inventory levels, is the recommended alternative for new procurement and design continuity.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 520895-1 packaging is not specified in the available data. The 520961-1 is supplied in bulk packaging, which is standard for production environments and supports efficient component procurement.

Q: Do both parts meet current regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. Both the 520895-1 and 520961-1 are ROHS3 compliant and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings, meeting current environmental and manufacturing standards.

Q: What is the compatibility of these connectors with quick connect terminals?

A: Both parts are designed for use with 0.250" (6.35mm) quick connect and disconnect terminals. The 520961-1 specification references 0.250" (6.35mm) x 0.032" (0.81mm) quick connects, providing additional dimensional detail for terminal interface compatibility.
