Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 60920-4 terminal is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mechanical Compatibility Parameters:

• Tab Width: 0.187" (4.75mm)
• Tab Thickness: 0.020" (0.51mm)
• Overall Length: 1.276" (32.40mm)
• Number of Tabs: 2

Electrical & Functional Parameters:

• Gender: Male
• Terminal Type: Standard
• Termination Method: Screw, Rivet, Stud
• Insulation Classification: Non-Insulated
• Contact Finish: Tin

Environmental & Compliance Parameters:

• Mounting Type: Board, Chassis
• MSL Rating: 1 (Unlimited)
• RoHS Compliance Status

The substitute part 60920-4 must maintain identical mechanical dimensions and electrical characteristics to ensure direct interchangeability without circuit redesign or mechanical rework. Contact material composition differences are permissible when all other parameters remain constant, provided compliance certifications are maintained.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 60920-5 terminal serves as a direct functional equivalent to the obsolete 60920-4 part number. Both components maintain identical mechanical dimensions, electrical characteristics, and mounting specifications required for interchangeability within Faston series applications.

Product Status Consideration: The 60920-4 carries Obsolete designation, while the 60920-5 maintains Active product status. This status difference indicates that 60920-5 represents the current production standard and is the appropriate selection for new designs and ongoing supply requirements.

Compliance & Certification: Both parts satisfy RoHS compliance requirements. The 60920-4 is ROHS3 Compliant, and the 60920-5 is RoHS Compliant. Both components carry MSL Rating 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage or handling.

Contact Material Difference: The primary technical distinction between these parts is the contact material composition. The 60920-4 utilizes steel contacts, while the 60920-5 employs brass contacts. Both materials are finished with tin plating. This material difference does not affect mechanical interchangeability or electrical performance within the specified application parameters.

Inventory & Availability: The 60920-5 maintains higher inventory levels (5774 pieces) compared to the 60920-4 (1072 pieces), supporting sustained supply chain availability for production requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 60920-5 be used as a direct replacement for the 60920-4 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. The 60920-5 maintains identical tab width (0.187"), tab thickness (0.020"), overall length (1.276"), and all functional specifications required for direct mechanical and electrical interchangeability. No circuit redesign or mechanical rework is necessary.

Q: What is the significance of the contact material difference between steel (60920-4) and brass (60920-5)?

A: Both materials are tin-plated and function identically within the specified electrical and mechanical parameters. The material composition difference does not affect connector performance, mating characteristics, or electrical conductivity in standard applications. Both materials are suitable for screw, rivet, and stud termination methods.

Q: Why is the 60920-4 listed as Obsolete?

A: Obsolete designation indicates that the manufacturer has discontinued active production of this part number. The 60920-5 represents the current production equivalent and is the recommended selection for new designs and ongoing supply requirements.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 60920-4 packaging specification is not provided in the technical data. The 60920-5 is supplied in Bulk packaging. Packaging format should be confirmed with the supplier based on specific assembly and inventory requirements.

Q: Do both parts meet RoHS compliance requirements?

A: Yes. The 60920-4 is ROHS3 Compliant, and the 60920-5 is RoHS Compliant. Both parts satisfy regulatory requirements for restricted substance limitations.

Q: What does MSL Rating 1 (Unlimited) indicate?

A: MSL Rating 1 (Unlimited) indicates that these components have no moisture sensitivity restrictions. They do not require special storage conditions, desiccant packaging, or bake-out procedures prior to assembly.

Q: Are these terminals suitable for both board and chassis mounting?

A: Yes. Both the 60920-4 and 60920-5 are classified for Board and Chassis mounting types, supporting flexible installation configurations in various electrical assembly applications.
