Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 60598-2 is based on strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Terminal Type: Post Receptacle configuration must remain identical
• Termination Method: Crimp termination requirement must be maintained
• Wire Gauge Range: 20-24 AWG compatibility is mandatory
• Base Product Number: Parts sharing the 60598 base designation are within the same product family
• Electrical and Mechanical Specifications: All substitute parts must support the same connector interface and wire termination specifications

The substitute part 60598-1 satisfies all these criteria. Both parts share the same base product number (60598), terminal type (Post Receptacle), termination method (Crimp), and wire gauge specification (20-24 AWG). The primary distinction is the product status and packaging configuration.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 60598-1 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete 60598-2. Both components maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications for terminal type, termination method, and wire gauge compatibility. The 60598-1 offers the following advantages:

• Active Product Status: The 60598-1 remains in active production, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain reliability
• Enhanced Compliance: ROHS3 compliance provides alignment with current regulatory standards, compared to the RoHS Compliant designation of the 60598-2
• Standardized Packaging: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging facilitates automated assembly processes and inventory management
• Equivalent Functional Performance: Identical terminal type, crimp termination, and 20-24 AWG wire gauge specifications ensure direct functional equivalence

Selection of the 60598-1 eliminates obsolescence risk while maintaining full compatibility with existing connector assemblies and termination procedures.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 60598-1 be used as a direct replacement for the 60598-2?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical terminal type (Post Receptacle), termination method (Crimp), and wire gauge specification (20-24 AWG). The 60598-1 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute and provides equivalent electrical and mechanical performance.

Q: What is the primary difference between the 60598-2 and 60598-1?

A: The 60598-2 is classified as Obsolete, while the 60598-1 is Active in production. The 60598-1 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging and carries ROHS3 compliance, compared to the unspecified packaging and RoHS Compliant status of the 60598-2.

Q: Are there any wire gauge limitations when substituting the 60598-1 for the 60598-2?

A: No. Both parts support identical wire gauge specifications of 20-24 AWG. Termination compatibility remains unchanged.

Q: Does the Tape & Reel packaging of the 60598-1 affect compatibility?

A: No. Tape & Reel packaging is a supply and handling format that does not affect the electrical or mechanical specifications of the terminal itself. The component remains functionally identical to the 60598-2.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the two parts?

A: The 60598-1 carries ROHS3 compliance, while the 60598-2 is RoHS Compliant. Both meet regulatory requirements. The ROHS3 designation of the 60598-1 reflects current compliance standards.

Q: What is the Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) for both parts?

A: Both the 60598-2 and 60598-1 have an MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage or handling.
