Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TE Connectivity 52455 spade terminal is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Terminal Type: Spring, Snap
• Stud/Tab Size: 10 Stud
• Wire Gauge: 16-22 AWG
• Termination Method: Crimp
• Color: Red
• Insulation: Insulated
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Tongue Inside Opening: 0.190" (4.83mm)

Allowable Variations:

• Series designation (Plasti-Grip vs. PIDG)
• Contact material (Brass vs. Phosphor Bronze)
• Insulation material (PVC vs. Polyamide/Nylon)
• Packaging format (Bulk vs. Cut Tape)
• Overall length tolerance within functional range
• Insulation diameter range variations
• RoHS compliance status

The substitute part 52411-1 meets all mandatory matching parameters and is therefore electrically and mechanically compatible with the 52455 for equivalent application performance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Part 52455 (Plasti-Grip Series): Select this part when bulk packaging is required for high-volume production runs or when PVC insulation material is specified in design documentation. The brass contact material provides standard electrical performance for general-purpose applications. Product status is active with established supply availability.

Part 52411-1 (PIDG Series): Select this part when RoHS compliance certification is required for end-product regulatory adherence. The polyamide insulation material offers enhanced mechanical durability compared to PVC. Cut tape packaging is suitable for automated assembly processes and component-level inventory management. Phosphor bronze contact material provides equivalent electrical performance with improved spring characteristics. Product status is active with higher inventory availability (18,292 pieces).

Both parts are classified as MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) and carry identical export classification (EAR99) and tariff codes (8536.90.4000). Selection between these parts should be based on packaging requirements, regulatory compliance needs, and material specifications for the target application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can part 52411-1 be used as a direct replacement for part 52455?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical critical parameters including terminal type, stud size, wire gauge range, termination method, color, and mounting configuration. The 10 stud spade terminal design and 16-22 AWG crimp termination capability are functionally equivalent. Differences in contact material (phosphor bronze vs. brass) and insulation material (polyamide vs. PVC) do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility for standard applications.

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

A: Part 52455 is supplied in bulk packaging, suitable for large production orders where components are dispensed in quantity. Part 52411-1 is supplied in cut tape (CT) packaging, which provides individual component separation and is optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly equipment and component-level inventory tracking.

Q: Does the insulation diameter range difference affect compatibility?

A: The insulation diameter ranges differ between parts (52455: 0.105" ~ 0.140"; 52411-1: 0.080" ~ 0.125"). Both ranges accommodate 16-22 AWG wire insulation. Selection should be based on the specific wire insulation diameter used in the application. Verify wire insulation dimensions fall within the selected part's specified range.

Q: Is RoHS compliance a factor in selecting between these parts?

A: Part 52411-1 is RoHS compliant, while part 52455 has RoHS status listed as not applicable. If the end product requires RoHS certification for regulatory or customer requirements, part 52411-1 is the appropriate selection. Both parts are classified as MSL Level 1 with unlimited moisture sensitivity tolerance.

Q: Are the overall length differences significant?

A: Overall length differs slightly (52455: 1.017"; 52411-1: 1.005"), representing a 0.012" variation. Both parts maintain identical ring center to termination length (0.283") and tongue inside opening (0.190"), which are the critical functional dimensions. This minor overall length difference does not affect mechanical fit or electrical performance in standard applications.

Q: What contact material should I specify for my application?

A: Part 52455 uses brass contacts with tin finish; part 52411-1 uses phosphor bronze contacts with tin finish. Both materials provide equivalent electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance for standard spade terminal applications. Phosphor bronze offers slightly improved spring retention characteristics. Selection should be based on application-specific requirements and design specifications.
