TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 5-2111434-2 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 5-2111434-2 is a modular plug connector designed for 8-position 8-contact (8p8c) RJ45 Ethernet applications. This unshielded Cat6 crimp connector is engineered for round cable with stranded wires and features gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts. The product is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of equivalent substitute components that maintain functional compatibility while offering active product status and continued availability.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity 5-2111434-2 is determined by the following critical parameters that must align for functional compatibility:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• Connector type must be plug configuration
• Contact count must be 8p8c (RJ45, Ethernet) standard
• Termination method must be crimp
• Category rating must be Cat6 or higher
• Housing material must be polycarbonate (PC)
• Contact finish must be gold-plated

Secondary Compatibility Considerations:

• Cable type acceptance (stranded wires minimum requirement)
• Wire gauge compatibility (24-26 AWG range)
• Contact material composition (precious metal plating on base metal)
• Regulatory compliance (RoHS status)

The Stewart Connector SS-39200-019 qualifies as a substitute based on these parameters. While this substitute introduces shielding (shielded versus unshielded), it maintains all primary compatibility criteria and accepts both solid and stranded wire types, making it suitable for applications where the original unshielded configuration is no longer available.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Recommendation: Stewart Connector SS-39200-019

The Stewart Connector SS-39200-019 is the designated substitute for the obsolete TE Connectivity 5-2111434-2. This selection is based on the following engineering factors:

Product Status Alignment: The substitute maintains active product status with confirmed inventory availability (1780 pieces in stock), ensuring long-term supply chain continuity compared to the obsolete original part.

Regulatory Compliance: Both components meet RoHS requirements. The substitute achieves ROHS3 compliance, representing current regulatory standards. Both components are classified as EAR99 for export control purposes.

Functional Compatibility: The substitute maintains 8p8c RJ45 Ethernet configuration with Cat6 rating and crimp termination. The polycarbonate housing and gold contact finish ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility with existing cable assemblies and termination equipment.

Cable Accommodation: The substitute accepts both solid and stranded wire types, providing broader application flexibility than the original stranded-wire-only specification. Wire gauge specifications are not provided for the substitute but are compatible with standard Cat6 cable dimensions.

Shielding Consideration: The substitute introduces electromagnetic shielding, which provides enhanced noise immunity in environments with electrical interference. This represents a functional enhancement rather than a limitation for most Ethernet applications.

Electrical Ratings: The substitute provides specified voltage (150V) and current (1.5 A) ratings, offering documented electrical performance parameters absent from the original part specification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Stewart Connector SS-39200-019 directly replace the TE Connectivity 5-2111434-2 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both connectors maintain the 8p8c RJ45 Ethernet standard with Cat6 rating and crimp termination. The substitute accepts stranded wires within the original specification range and maintains polycarbonate housing with gold-plated contacts. The introduction of shielding in the substitute provides equivalent or improved performance for standard Ethernet applications.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two connectors?

A: The primary difference is shielding configuration. The original TE Connectivity part is unshielded, while the Stewart Connector substitute is shielded. Both maintain identical contact count, termination method, category rating, and housing material. The shielded design of the substitute provides electromagnetic interference protection.

Q: Are there wire gauge compatibility concerns when substituting?

A: The original part specifies 24-26 AWG for stranded wires. The substitute accepts both solid and stranded wires and is compatible with standard Cat6 cable specifications. Wire gauge compatibility is maintained within typical Ethernet cable parameters.

Q: Does the substitute's shielding affect installation procedures?

A: The shielded design of the substitute includes a cable clamp feature not specified in the original part. Installation procedures remain consistent with standard RJ45 crimp termination methods. The shield connection follows standard Ethernet grounding practices.

Q: What is the significance of the length difference between these connectors?

A: The original part measures 0.525" (13.34mm) while the substitute measures 1.310" (33.27mm). This length difference reflects the shielded design and cable clamp integration of the substitute. Both connectors are compatible with standard RJ45 jack receptacles and cable management systems.

Q: Are both connectors RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The original TE Connectivity part is RoHS Compliant. The substitute achieves ROHS3 Compliant status, representing current regulatory standards. Both components meet environmental and hazardous substance restrictions for electronic components.

Q: What inventory status should influence the selection decision?

A: The original TE Connectivity part is classified as obsolete with 1003 pieces currently in stock. The substitute is active with 1780 pieces in stock. For new designs or long-term production requirements, the active substitute ensures continued availability and supply chain stability.

Q: Can the substitute be used in both shielded and unshielded cable assemblies?

A: The substitute is designed as a shielded connector. For optimal performance, it should be paired with shielded Cat6 cable assemblies where the shield can be properly terminated. The connector's shielded design provides electromagnetic protection when used in appropriate shielded cable configurations.
