Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 62049-2 serves as a direct functional substitute for the obsolete 62068-1 model. Both components maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical connection parameters, including tab dimensions, wire gauge compatibility, and contact material composition.

The 62049-2 is classified as an Active product, ensuring continued availability and supply chain support. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity ratings, satisfying regulatory and environmental requirements.

The 62049-2 exhibits a longer overall length of 0.770" (19.56mm) compared to the 62068-1 at 0.590" (14.99mm). This dimensional difference must be evaluated within the context of specific application space constraints and mechanical assembly requirements. The increased length does not affect electrical performance or connection integrity.

Selection of the 62049-2 is supported by active product status, full regulatory compliance, and equivalent functional performance across all specified electrical and mechanical parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 62049-2 be used as a direct replacement for the 62068-1 in existing assemblies?

A: The 62049-2 maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications for tab width, thickness, wire gauge range, termination method, and contact materials. The primary difference is overall length. Compatibility depends on available space within the assembly. If the assembly accommodates the longer 0.770" (19.56mm) dimension, the 62049-2 functions as a direct substitute.

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

A: The 62068-1 is classified as Obsolete, indicating discontinued manufacturing and limited availability. The 62049-2 is classified as Active, ensuring ongoing production, supply chain availability, and manufacturer support. For new designs or ongoing production requirements, the 62049-2 is the recommended selection.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between these connectors?

A: Both the 62068-1 and 62049-2 maintain ROHS3 compliance and carry an MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited). No compliance or certification differences exist between these parts.

Q: What wire gauge range do these connectors support?

A: Both connectors support crimp termination on wire gauges between 10-14 AWG. This range encompasses standard industrial and automotive wiring applications.

Q: What is the difference in overall length between these parts?

A: The 62068-1 measures 0.590" (14.99mm) in overall length, while the 62049-2 measures 0.770" (19.56mm). The 62049-2 is 0.180" (4.57mm) longer. This difference must be considered in space-constrained applications.

Q: Are these connectors insulated or non-insulated?

A: Both the 62068-1 and 62049-2 are non-insulated connectors. The brass contact material is exposed and requires proper isolation within the application circuit design.

Q: What is the tab width specification for these connectors?

A: Both connectors feature a 0.250" (6.35mm) tab width with 0.032" (0.81mm) thickness, ensuring compatibility with standard 0.250" quick-connect receptacles and tabs.
