TE Connectivity 60894-2 Quick Connect Female Crimp Connector Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 60894-2 is a 0.110" (2.79mm) Quick Connect Female Crimp Connector designed for 18-22 AWG wire applications. This terminal features non-mating end insulation and is part of the Faston and PIDG series connector families. The component is classified as an active product with RoHS compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1). Substitute parts are identified when packaging configurations differ or when inventory requirements necessitate alternative sourcing while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The TE Connectivity 60894-2 and 60894-1 are functionally equivalent terminals with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Both components share the same base product number (60894) and maintain all critical dimensional parameters including tab width, thickness, length, wire gauge compatibility, and contact material specifications. The substitution relationship is based on packaging configuration differences only. The 60894-2 is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) packaging, while the 60894-1 is supplied in Bulk packaging. This distinction affects procurement and handling procedures but does not alter the terminal's performance characteristics or compatibility with mating connectors and wire gauges.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 60894-2 and 60894-1 are active products from TE Connectivity with full RoHS compliance. The 60894-2 in Cut Tape packaging is suitable for automated assembly processes and controlled dispensing applications. The 60894-1 in Bulk packaging is appropriate for high-volume manual assembly operations or when bulk quantities are required for inventory management. Selection between these parts should be based on assembly methodology, production volume requirements, and packaging handling capabilities rather than electrical or mechanical performance, as both components are functionally identical. Both parts maintain the same base product number designation and are interchangeable at the functional level.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 60894-2 and 60894-1 electrically and mechanically identical?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical specifications for tab width (0.110"), tab thickness (0.032"), tab length (0.250"), wire gauge compatibility (18-22 AWG), contact material (brass with tin finish), and all other electrical and mechanical parameters. The only difference is packaging configuration.

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

A: Cut Tape (CT) packaging supplies components on a continuous tape that is cut to specific lengths, facilitating automated pick-and-place assembly. Bulk packaging supplies loose components in larger quantities, suitable for manual assembly or when packaging format is not a constraint.

Q: Can I substitute 60894-1 for 60894-2 in my assembly?

A: Yes, the 60894-1 can be substituted for 60894-2 provided your assembly process can accommodate Bulk packaging. The terminal specifications, mating compatibility, and wire gauge ratings are identical.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The 60894-2 is RoHS Compliant and the 60894-1 is ROHS3 Compliant. Both meet RoHS requirements.

Q: What wire gauges are compatible with these terminals?

A: Both the 60894-2 and 60894-1 are rated for 18-22 AWG wire gauges with an insulation diameter of 0.100" (2.54mm).

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these parts?

A: Both parts have an MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.

Q: Are these terminals suitable for automated assembly?

A: The 60894-2 in Cut Tape packaging is optimized for automated assembly processes. The 60894-1 in Bulk packaging is suitable for manual assembly or high-volume operations where bulk handling is preferred.
