TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 52420 Spade Terminal Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 52420 is an insulated spade terminal connector designed for crimp termination of 14-16 AWG wire. This component features a 6 stud configuration with phosphor bronze contact material and tin finish, suitable for free-hanging in-line mounting applications. The part is classified as Active product status and is manufactured with polyamide nylon insulation in blue color.

Substitute parts are identified to address packaging format variations and compliance requirements while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical specifications for direct component interchangeability.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 52420 spade terminals is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility Parameters:

• Wire gauge range: 14-16 AWG
• Contact material: Phosphor bronze
• Contact finish: Tin
• Terminal type: Spring, snap configuration

Mechanical Compatibility Parameters:

• Stud/tab size: 6 stud
• Width outer edges: 0.250" (6.35mm)
• Length overall: 0.933" (23.70mm)
• Tongue inside opening: 0.140" (3.56mm)
• Insulation diameter: 0.105" ~ 0.150" (2.67mm ~ 3.81mm)

Functional Parameters:

• Termination method: Crimp
• Mounting type: Free hanging (in-line)
• Insulation material: Polyamide (PA), nylon
• Color: Blue
• Series: PIDG

Substitute parts must match all parameters listed above. Variations in packaging format (bulk versus cut tape) do not affect electrical or mechanical interchangeability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Part 52420 (Bulk Packaging): Suitable for applications requiring bulk component quantities. Product status is Active. RoHS status is listed as not applicable.

Part 52420-2 (Cut Tape Packaging): Suitable for applications requiring tape-and-reel or cut tape format delivery. Product status is Active. RoHS3 compliance certification is provided. This variant offers regulatory compliance documentation for applications subject to RoHS3 requirements.

Both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent. Selection between 52420 and 52420-2 is determined by packaging requirements and regulatory compliance documentation needs. The cut tape variant (52420-2) provides explicit RoHS3 compliance certification, while the bulk variant (52420) does not specify RoHS applicability status.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are parts 52420 and 52420-2 electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts are identical in all electrical parameters including wire gauge (14-16 AWG), contact material (phosphor bronze), contact finish (tin), and terminal type (spring, snap). The difference is packaging format only.

Q: What is the primary difference between 52420 and 52420-2?

A: The primary difference is packaging format. Part 52420 is supplied in bulk packaging, while part 52420-2 is supplied in cut tape (CT) format. Additionally, 52420-2 carries ROHS3 compliance certification, while 52420 lists RoHS status as not applicable.

Q: Can I use 52420-2 in place of 52420 in my assembly?

A: Yes, provided your assembly process accommodates cut tape format delivery. The components are mechanically and electrically identical. If your process requires bulk packaging, use 52420. If your process requires tape format and RoHS3 compliance documentation, use 52420-2.

Q: What wire gauges are compatible with these spade terminals?

A: Both parts are rated for 14-16 AWG wire. The insulation diameter specification of 0.105" ~ 0.150" (2.67mm ~ 3.81mm) accommodates wire within this gauge range.

Q: What is the stud size for these spade terminals?

A: Both parts feature a 6 stud configuration. The tongue inside opening is 0.140" (3.56mm), which accommodates standard 6 stud connections.

Q: Are these parts suitable for high-temperature applications?

A: The provided specifications do not include temperature rating data. Consult the manufacturer's technical documentation for thermal performance parameters.

Q: What is the contact material composition?

A: Both parts use phosphor bronze as the contact material with tin finish. This combination provides electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance suitable for general-purpose terminal applications.

Q: Can these terminals be used for both AC and DC applications?

A: The provided specifications do not restrict application type. Both parts are rated for crimp termination of 14-16 AWG wire with standard electrical properties. Consult application-specific requirements for voltage and current ratings.
