Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the TE Connectivity 696362-1 are qualified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional compatibility:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• Tab width of 0.250" (6.35mm)
• Tab thickness of 0.032" (0.81mm)
• Male gender configuration
• Non-mating end insulation
• Crimp termination method
• Free hanging (in-line) mounting type
• Red color designation
• Tin contact finish

Secondary Compatibility Criteria:

• Wire gauge range overlap with 18-22 AWG specification
• Overall length within acceptable tolerance range
• Insulation diameter compatibility with wire gauge range

The substitute parts listed below maintain these core parameters while offering active product status and improved availability compared to the obsolete 696362-1.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

TE Connectivity 140896-2: This substitute part is classified as active product status and maintains full mechanical and electrical compatibility with the 696362-1 for wire gauges within the 17-20 AWG overlap range. The 140896-2 operates within the Faston series and features identical tab dimensions and termination specifications. The wire gauge range of 17-20 AWG is a subset of the original 18-22 AWG specification, making this part suitable for applications utilizing 18-20 AWG wire gauges. This part is RoHS non-compliant and REACH affected, which may impact suitability for regulated applications.

TE Connectivity 66023-2: This substitute part is classified as active product status and provides the broadest wire gauge compatibility with a 16-22 AWG range that fully encompasses the original 18-22 AWG specification. The 66023-2 operates within the PIDG series, matching one of the original part's series designations. Tab dimensions and termination specifications are identical to the 696362-1. The contact material differs (copper versus brass), though both materials with tin finish provide equivalent electrical performance for quick connect applications. RoHS status is not applicable and REACH status is vendor undefined, offering greater regulatory flexibility compared to the 140896-2.

For applications requiring the full 18-22 AWG wire gauge range with active product availability, the 66023-2 is the primary substitute selection. For applications limited to 17-20 AWG wire gauges, the 140896-2 provides an alternative with established Faston series continuity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 140896-2 be used as a direct replacement for the 696362-1 in all applications?

A: The 140896-2 is compatible with applications using 18-20 AWG wire gauges, which represents the overlap between the original 18-22 AWG range and the substitute's 17-20 AWG range. Applications requiring 21-22 AWG wire gauges require the 66023-2 substitute instead.

Q: What is the difference between the 140896-2 and 66023-2 substitutes?

A: Both parts maintain identical tab width (0.250"), tab thickness (0.032"), and termination specifications. The primary differences are: wire gauge range (140896-2 covers 17-20 AWG; 66023-2 covers 16-22 AWG), contact material (140896-2 uses brass; 66023-2 uses copper), series designation (140896-2 is Faston; 66023-2 is PIDG), and regulatory compliance status (140896-2 is RoHS non-compliant and REACH affected; 66023-2 has not applicable RoHS status and vendor undefined REACH status).

Q: Are the insulation diameter ranges compatible with my wire gauge selection?

A: Insulation diameter compatibility depends on the specific wire gauge used. The 696362-1 accommodates insulation diameters of 0.080" to 0.115". The 140896-2 accommodates 0.091" to 0.130", and the 66023-2 accommodates 0.105" to 0.140". Verify that your wire's insulation diameter falls within the selected substitute part's specified range.

Q: Does the difference in contact material (brass versus copper) affect electrical performance?

A: Both brass and copper contacts with tin finish provide equivalent electrical conductivity and performance characteristics for quick connect crimp terminal applications. The material difference does not impact functional compatibility.

Q: What packaging is available for these substitute parts?

A: Both substitute parts are supplied in bulk packaging. The 140896-2 has 3040 pieces in stock, and the 66023-2 has 1202 pieces in stock.

Q: Are these substitute parts suitable for RoHS-compliant applications?

A: The 66023-2 has not applicable RoHS status, making it suitable for applications without RoHS compliance requirements. The 140896-2 is RoHS non-compliant and should not be used in applications requiring RoHS compliance.

Q: What is the overall length difference between the main part and substitutes?

A: The 696362-1 has an overall length of 0.911" (23.14mm). The 140896-2 measures 0.925" (23.50mm), and the 66023-2 measures 0.910" (23.11mm). These differences are within typical mechanical tolerances for quick connect terminal applications.
