TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 60874-2 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 60874-2 is a single post terminal connector designed for through-hole printed circuit board applications. This flanged terminal features a 0.058" (1.47mm) diameter circular pin with gold contact finish and phosphor bronze base material. The connector is rated for press-fit termination with a mounting hole diameter range of 0.058" to 0.062" (1.47mm to 1.57mm) and accommodates board thicknesses between 0.062" and 0.093" (1.57mm to 2.36mm). The product maintains active status in the TE Connectivity catalog. Equivalent and substitute parts are identified to provide alternative sourcing options when the primary part is unavailable or when specific contact finish requirements differ.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 60874-2 terminal connector is determined by strict equivalence across all mechanical and electrical parameters. The primary substitution criterion is dimensional compatibility: all substitute parts must maintain identical pin diameter (0.058" / 1.47mm), flange diameter (0.090" / 2.29mm), mounting hole diameter range (0.058" to 0.062" / 1.47mm to 1.57mm), and overall length (0.380" / 9.65mm). Secondary criteria include matching terminal type (single post), terminal style (flanged), mounting method (through hole), termination method (press-fit), base material (phosphor bronze), and board thickness accommodation (0.062" to 0.093" / 1.57mm to 2.36mm).

The 60874-2 and its substitute 60874-1 share the same base product number (60874) and are differentiated solely by contact finish specification. The 60874-2 features gold contact finish with 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness, while the 60874-1 features tin contact finish. Both parts maintain identical mechanical dimensions, mounting characteristics, and material composition. This contact finish variation allows selection based on application-specific corrosion resistance, conductivity, or solderability requirements while preserving full mechanical and electrical interchangeability within the specified board thickness and mounting hole diameter parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 60874-2 and 60874-1 maintain active product status within the TE Connectivity AMP Connectors portfolio and are suitable for new design implementations. The 60874-2 with gold contact finish is appropriate for applications requiring enhanced corrosion resistance and superior electrical conductivity characteristics. The 60874-1 with tin contact finish serves applications where solderability and cost considerations are primary factors.

From a compliance perspective, the 60874-2 is classified as RoHS non-compliant, while the 60874-1 carries a not applicable RoHS designation. Both parts share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.90.4000) classifications and maintain MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity constraints during storage or handling.

Selection between these parts should be based on the specific contact finish requirement dictated by the application circuit design, environmental exposure conditions, and assembly process specifications. Both parts are mechanically and electrically interchangeable within the defined mounting hole diameter and board thickness parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 60874-2 and 60874-1 mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical mechanical dimensions including pin diameter (0.058" / 1.47mm), flange diameter (0.090" / 2.29mm), overall length (0.380" / 9.65mm), and mounting hole diameter range (0.058" to 0.062" / 1.47mm to 1.57mm). They are fully interchangeable in through-hole applications with board thicknesses between 0.062" and 0.093" (1.57mm to 2.36mm).

Q: What is the primary difference between 60874-2 and 60874-1?

A: The contact finish differs between the two parts. The 60874-2 features gold contact finish with 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness, while the 60874-1 features tin contact finish. All other specifications including terminal type, style, dimensions, material composition, and mounting characteristics are identical.

Q: Which part should be selected for high-corrosion environments?

A: The 60874-2 with gold contact finish provides enhanced corrosion resistance compared to the tin-finished 60874-1 and is suitable for applications exposed to moisture, salt spray, or other corrosive conditions.

Q: Which part is preferred for wave soldering applications?

A: The 60874-1 with tin contact finish is optimized for soldering processes due to superior solder wettability characteristics. The 60874-2 gold finish may require specialized soldering parameters.

Q: Are both parts suitable for new design implementations?

A: Yes. Both the 60874-2 and 60874-1 maintain active product status and are appropriate for new circuit board designs. Selection should be based on application-specific contact finish requirements.

Q: What board thickness range is supported by these connectors?

A: Both parts accommodate printed circuit board thicknesses between 0.062" and 0.093" (1.57mm and 2.36mm) when mounted through the specified hole diameter range of 0.058" to 0.062" (1.47mm to 1.57mm).

Q: Do these parts require special handling or storage conditions?

A: No. Both parts carry MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity constraints. Standard component storage and handling procedures are applicable.
