Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution between 62612-1 and 62612-2 is valid based on the following criteria:

Identical Electrical and Mechanical Parameters:

• Terminal Type: Circular
• Stud/Tab Size: 8 Stud
• Wire Gauge: 10-12 AWG
• Termination Method: Crimp
• Insulation Type: Non-Insulated
• Overall Length: 0.990" (25.15mm)
• Outer Width: 0.470" (11.94mm)
• Thickness: 0.024" (0.61mm)
• Insulation Diameter Range: 0.125" ~ 0.220" (3.18mm ~ 5.59mm)
• Contact Material: Steel
• Features: Inner Teeth, Serrated Termination
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

Differentiating Factor: The primary distinction between these parts is packaging format. Part 62612-1 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, while 62612-2 is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) format. Additionally, 62612-2 specifies a Tin contact finish, whereas 62612-1 does not specify a contact finish designation.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both 62612-1 and 62612-2 are active products with ROHS3 compliance and identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts is determined by packaging requirements and inventory availability.

62612-1 (Tape & Reel): Suitable for automated assembly processes requiring continuous reel feeding. Current inventory: 723 pieces.

62612-2 (Cut Tape): Suitable for manual assembly, small-batch production, or applications where individual piece handling is required. Current inventory: 39088 pieces.

Both parts maintain equivalent terminal performance, wire gauge compatibility, and stud configuration. The Tin contact finish specified for 62612-2 provides enhanced corrosion resistance compared to unfinished steel, though both parts meet the same compliance standards.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 62612-2 be used as a direct replacement for 62612-1?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical parameters including terminal type, stud size, wire gauge range, crimp termination method, and dimensional specifications. The primary difference is packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Cut Tape) and contact finish specification.

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

A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging supplies components on a continuous reel suitable for automated pick-and-place equipment. Cut Tape (CT) packaging supplies components on tape segments, typically used for manual assembly or lower-volume applications. Both formats contain the same component.

Q: Does the Tin contact finish on 62612-2 affect compatibility?

A: The Tin contact finish on 62612-2 provides enhanced corrosion resistance. Both parts are functionally equivalent for the specified 10-12 AWG wire gauge and 8 stud circular configuration. The finish does not affect mechanical or electrical compatibility.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both 62612-1 and 62612-2 are ROHS3 compliant and carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.90.4000) classifications.

Q: What wire gauges are compatible with these terminals?

A: Both parts are rated for 10-12 AWG wire gauges with an insulation diameter range of 0.125" to 0.220" (3.18mm to 5.59mm).

Q: Can these terminals be used in high-moisture environments?

A: Both parts carry Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.
