Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity 552967-1 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Terminal Type: Male, Pin (Plug) configuration
• Wire Gauge Compatibility: 22-28 AWG
• Barrel Diameter: 0.090" (2.29mm)
• Overall Length: 0.350" (8.89mm)
• Barrel Length: 0.140" (3.56mm)
• Contact Material: Phosphor Bronze
• Contact Finish: Tin
• Insulation Diameter: 0.053" (1.35mm)
• Insulation Type: Non-Insulated
• Series: Amp-Barrel

The primary distinction between the main part and substitute parts lies in the termination method. The 552967-1 utilizes PCB termination, while substitute parts may employ alternative termination techniques such as crimp termination. Substitution is valid only when all mechanical and electrical parameters remain identical, with termination method representing the controlled variable.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity 1742254-1 serves as an active substitute for the obsolete 552967-1. Both components maintain identical mechanical and electrical specifications across all critical parameters including barrel diameter, wire gauge compatibility, overall length, contact material, and contact finish.

The primary distinction is termination methodology: the 552967-1 employs PCB termination while the 1742254-1 utilizes crimp termination. Selection between these parts depends on the application's termination requirements and assembly process compatibility.

The 1742254-1 offers the advantage of active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain support. Additionally, the 1742254-1 is RoHS Compliant, whereas the 552967-1 is RoHS non-compliant. For applications subject to RoHS regulatory requirements, the 1742254-1 is the appropriate selection.

Both components carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.90.4000) classifications, indicating equivalent export control and tariff treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1742254-1 directly replace the 552967-1 in existing designs?

A: Direct replacement depends on termination method compatibility. The 552967-1 is designed for PCB termination, while the 1742254-1 requires crimp termination. If the application's assembly process and PCB layout accommodate crimp termination, the 1742254-1 is compatible. If PCB termination is mandatory, alternative solutions must be evaluated.

Q: What is the significance of the product status difference between these parts?

A: The 552967-1 is classified as obsolete, indicating manufacturer discontinuation. The 1742254-1 is active, meaning it remains in production and is available through standard distribution channels. For new designs or ongoing production, the active part number is preferred to ensure long-term supply availability.

Q: Are there RoHS compliance implications for substitution?

A: Yes. The 552967-1 is RoHS non-compliant, while the 1742254-1 is RoHS Compliant. Applications subject to RoHS directives (2002/95/EC or 2011/65/EU) require use of compliant components. The 1742254-1 satisfies these regulatory requirements.

Q: Do both parts accommodate the same wire gauge range?

A: Yes. Both the 552967-1 and 1742254-1 are rated for 22-28 AWG wire gauges. Wire gauge compatibility is identical across both components.

Q: What are the mechanical compatibility considerations?

A: Both components share identical barrel diameter (0.090" / 2.29mm), overall length (0.350" / 8.89mm), barrel length (0.140" / 3.56mm), and insulation diameter (0.053" / 1.35mm). Mechanical fit and form factor are equivalent. The termination method represents the only functional difference.

Q: Are export control classifications identical?

A: Yes. Both components carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.90.4000) classifications, indicating equivalent export control and tariff treatment for international commerce.
