Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 2-34155-1 serves as the direct active equivalent for the obsolete 696003-2. Selection of this substitute is supported by the following factors:

Product Status: The 2-34155-1 maintains active product status with substantial inventory availability (28,330 pieces), ensuring long-term supply chain reliability compared to the obsolete 696003-2.

Electrical and Mechanical Equivalence: All critical functional parameters align between the main part and substitute, including wire gauge, stud size, termination method, insulation specifications, and contact materials. These parameters determine electrical performance and mechanical fit within connector assemblies.

Regulatory Compliance: Both parts maintain identical ROHS3 compliance and MSL ratings, confirming suitability for equivalent applications without additional qualification requirements.

Physical Dimensions: Minor dimensional variations exist in outer width (0.307" versus 0.375") and overall length (0.836" versus 0.920"). These differences do not affect functional compatibility but require verification within specific mechanical mounting constraints of the target application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 2-34155-1 substitute directly for the 696003-2 in existing designs?

A: The 2-34155-1 provides electrical and functional equivalence across all critical parameters including wire gauge, stud size, termination method, and insulation specifications. Physical dimension variations in width and length require assessment within specific mechanical mounting constraints.

Q: What are the key parameters that determine substitution compatibility?

A: Substitution compatibility is determined by wire gauge (16-22 AWG), stud/tab size (8 stud), termination type (crimp), insulation diameter (0.105" ~ 0.140"), tongue inside opening (0.171"), contact material (copper), and mounting configuration (free hanging in-line). All these parameters are identical between the main part and substitute.

Q: Why are the physical dimensions different between the two parts?

A: The 2-34155-1 exhibits increased outer width (0.375" versus 0.307") and overall length (0.920" versus 0.836") compared to the 696003-2. These dimensional differences do not affect electrical performance or wire termination capability but may impact mechanical fit in space-constrained applications.

Q: What is the packaging difference between these parts?

A: The 696003-2 is supplied in standard packaging, while the 2-34155-1 is available in Cut Tape (CT) packaging format. Packaging selection depends on assembly process requirements and volume handling procedures.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Both the 696003-2 and 2-34155-1 maintain ROHS3 compliance, confirming suitability for applications requiring restricted substance compliance.

Q: What is the inventory status of each part?

A: The 696003-2 is classified as obsolete with 702 pieces available. The 2-34155-1 is active with 28,330 pieces in stock, providing superior supply chain continuity for ongoing production requirements.
