TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 52922 Spade Terminal Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 52922 is an insulated spade terminal connector designed for crimp termination on 22-26 AWG wire. This yellow 4 stud terminal features a spring snap design with serrated termination and phosphor bronze contact material finished in tin. The part is classified as Active product status and is suitable for free hanging in-line mounting applications. Substitute parts are identified when packaging configurations differ, inventory availability requires alternatives, or compliance certifications vary while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution between TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 52922 and 52922-1 is valid based on identical electrical and mechanical parameters. Both parts maintain the same wire gauge range (22-26 AWG), stud size (4 stud), termination method (crimp), terminal type (spring snap), insulation material (polyamide nylon), contact material (phosphor bronze), contact finish (tin), and all dimensional specifications including width, length, and tongue opening measurements.

The primary difference between these parts is packaging configuration: 52922 is supplied in Bulk packaging, while 52922-1 is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) packaging. This distinction affects inventory management and component handling but does not alter functional compatibility or performance characteristics.

Secondary differences include RoHS compliance status (52922 is Not applicable; 52922-1 is RoHS Compliant) and inventory availability levels. These factors do not affect electrical or mechanical interchangeability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 52922 and 52922-1 are Active status products suitable for direct substitution in applications requiring 22-26 AWG insulated spade terminals with 4 stud configuration and crimp termination.

Selection between these parts should be based on packaging requirements and compliance specifications:

52922 (Bulk Packaging): Appropriate for high-volume applications where components are managed through bulk inventory systems. RoHS status is Not applicable.

52922-1 (Cut Tape Packaging): Appropriate for automated assembly processes and applications requiring RoHS Compliant components. Cut Tape packaging facilitates component handling in pick-and-place equipment and reduces waste in production environments.

Both parts maintain identical electrical performance, mechanical dimensions, and contact characteristics. The choice between them does not affect terminal functionality, wire gauge compatibility, or connection reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 52922-1 (Cut Tape) be used as a direct replacement for 52922 (Bulk)?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The difference is packaging configuration only. 52922-1 in Cut Tape format can be substituted for 52922 in Bulk format without affecting performance or compatibility.

Q: What is the significance of the RoHS compliance difference between these parts?

A: 52922 has RoHS status listed as Not applicable, while 52922-1 is RoHS Compliant. If your application or regulatory environment requires RoHS Compliant components, 52922-1 is the appropriate selection. If RoHS compliance is not a requirement, both parts are functionally equivalent.

Q: Are the dimensional specifications identical between 52922 and 52922-1?

A: Yes. All dimensional parameters are identical, including width (0.203" / 5.16mm), overall length (0.695" / 17.65mm), ring center to termination length (0.219" / 5.56mm), termination length (0.331" / 8.41mm), and tongue inside opening (0.112" / 2.84mm).

Q: What wire gauges are compatible with both 52922 and 52922-1?

A: Both parts are rated for 22-26 AWG wire with insulation diameter range of 0.050" to 0.082" (1.27mm to 2.08mm).

Q: Is the contact material the same in both parts?

A: Yes. Both 52922 and 52922-1 use phosphor bronze contact material with tin finish.

Q: What is the difference between Bulk and Cut Tape packaging?

A: Bulk packaging supplies components loose in a container, suitable for manual assembly and high-volume inventory management. Cut Tape (CT) packaging supplies components on adhesive tape in a carrier, designed for automated pick-and-place assembly equipment and component tracking.

Q: Can these terminals be used with different wire gauges?

A: No. Both 52922 and 52922-1 are specifically rated for 22-26 AWG wire. Wire gauges outside this range are not compatible.

Q: What is the stud size, and why is it important?

A: Both parts feature a 4 stud configuration. The stud size determines the connection point on the receiving component (such as a battery terminal or electrical connector). The 4 stud size must match the receiving component's terminal opening.

Q: Are both parts suitable for free hanging in-line mounting?

A: Yes. Both 52922 and 52922-1 are designed for free hanging in-line mounting applications.
