TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 53417-2 Ring Terminal Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 53417-2 is an insulated ring terminal connector designed for circular stud applications. This component is classified as a 14-16 AWG crimp terminal with an 8 stud configuration, manufactured in the PIDG series. The part maintains Active product status and is currently in stock with 955 pieces available.

Ring terminal connectors serve as termination points for electrical conductors in applications requiring secure, permanent connections to studs or posts. Substitute parts become necessary when packaging requirements differ, inventory constraints exist, or when alternative insulation materials meet application specifications while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 53417-2 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility Parameters:

• Wire gauge range: 14-16 AWG
• Stud size: 8 Stud configuration
• Contact material: Copper
• Termination method: Crimp

Mechanical Compatibility Parameters:

• Terminal type: Circular
• Overall length: 0.844" (21.44mm)
• Outer width: 0.312" (7.92mm)
• Thickness: 0.031" (0.79mm)
• Insulation diameter range: 0.105" ~ 0.150" (2.67mm ~ 3.81mm)
• Mounting type: Free Hanging (In-Line)

Functional Parameters:

• Insulation requirement: Insulated
• Series compatibility: PIDG

The substitute part 51864-5 maintains equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Variations in packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Cut Tape), insulation material composition (PVDF versus Polyamide/Nylon), contact finish (Tin-Lead versus Tin), and color designation do not affect functional interchangeability when the above parameters remain constant.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Part 53417-2 Selection Criteria:

• Tape & Reel packaging required for automated assembly processes
• PVDF insulation material specification mandated by application requirements
• Tin-Lead contact finish required for legacy system compatibility
• RoHS non-compliant status acceptable for non-regulated applications

Part 51864-5 Selection Criteria:

• Cut Tape packaging suitable for manual assembly or lower-volume production
• Polyamide/Nylon insulation material acceptable for standard industrial applications
• Tin contact finish meets modern RoHS compliance requirements
• Not applicable RoHS status indicates compliance with current environmental regulations
• Higher inventory availability (22,909 pieces) supports immediate procurement needs

Both parts maintain Active product status and identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts depends on packaging format requirements, insulation material compatibility with the application environment, contact finish specifications, and regulatory compliance mandates specific to the end-use application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 51864-5 be used as a direct replacement for 53417-2 in all applications?

A: The 51864-5 provides functional equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Compatibility depends on whether the application accepts Polyamide/Nylon insulation material instead of PVDF, Tin contact finish instead of Tin-Lead, and Cut Tape packaging instead of Tape & Reel. If these variations are acceptable to the application specification, direct substitution is valid.

Q: What is the significance of the different insulation materials between these parts?

A: The 53417-2 uses Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF) insulation, while the 51864-5 uses Polyamide (PA) Nylon insulation. Both materials provide electrical insulation and meet the Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 rating. Material selection depends on application requirements for chemical resistance, temperature range, and environmental exposure. PVDF offers superior chemical resistance; Polyamide provides standard industrial performance.

Q: How do packaging differences affect component selection?

A: The 53417-2 is supplied in Tape & Reel format, optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly equipment. The 51864-5 is supplied in Cut Tape format, suitable for manual assembly or lower-volume production runs. Packaging selection depends on manufacturing process requirements and assembly automation capabilities.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these parts?

A: The 53417-2 is RoHS non-compliant due to Tin-Lead contact finish. The 51864-5 has RoHS status listed as Not applicable, indicating compliance with current environmental regulations through Tin contact finish. Selection depends on whether the application or end market requires RoHS compliance certification.

Q: Do these parts have identical electrical performance?

A: Both parts use copper contact material, identical wire gauge range (14-16 AWG), identical stud size (8 Stud), and identical crimp termination method. Electrical performance characteristics are equivalent. Contact finish differences (Tin-Lead versus Tin) do not affect electrical conductivity or current-carrying capacity for these applications.

Q: What inventory considerations apply to these parts?

A: The 53417-2 has 955 pieces in stock. The 51864-5 has 22,909 pieces in stock. If immediate procurement is critical, the 51864-5 offers significantly higher availability. If specific packaging or material requirements mandate the 53417-2, inventory levels should be verified against production schedules.
