Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 696369-1 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Tab Width: 0.250" (6.35mm)
• Tab Thickness: 0.032" (0.81mm)
• Wire Gauge: 14-16 AWG
• Gender: Male
• Termination: Crimp
• Insulation: Non-Mating End Insulated
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Contact Finish: Tin

The substitute part TE Connectivity 66024-2 satisfies all mandatory matching parameters. This part is classified as active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and manufacturing support. The 66024-2 is supplied in bulk packaging and maintains full compatibility with the electrical and mechanical interface requirements of the 696369-1.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity 66024-2 is the direct equivalent substitute for the obsolete 696369-1 terminal. Selection of the 66024-2 is supported by the following engineering factors:

Product Status: The 66024-2 maintains active product status with TE Connectivity AMP Connectors, ensuring continued manufacturing, quality assurance, and supply chain availability. The 696369-1 is classified as obsolete and no longer supported for new production.

Electrical and Mechanical Compatibility: The 66024-2 maintains full equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters, including tab geometry, wire gauge rating, crimp termination specification, and contact finish. The minor dimensional variations in overall length (0.080" difference) and insulation diameter range (0.010" expanded upper limit) present no functional incompatibility with standard quick-connect receptacle interfaces.

Compliance and Certifications: Both parts carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.90.4000) classifications. The 66024-2 maintains MSL 1 rating, indicating unlimited shelf life under standard storage conditions. RoHS3 compliance is confirmed for the 696369-1; the 66024-2 RoHS status is listed as not applicable, which does not indicate non-compliance but rather a classification difference in the product database.

Inventory and Supply: The 66024-2 is available in bulk packaging with 2200 pieces in current stock, providing immediate procurement capability for production requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 66024-2 be used as a direct replacement for the 696369-1 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. The 66024-2 is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the 696369-1 across all critical parameters. The tab width, thickness, wire gauge rating, crimp termination, and contact finish are identical. The connector will function identically in quick-connect receptacle interfaces designed for the 696369-1.

Q: What is the significance of the 0.080" difference in overall length between the two parts?

A: The overall length difference (696369-1 at 0.911" versus 66024-2 at 0.991") does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. This dimensional variation is within the tolerance range for quick-connect terminal applications and does not impact insertion depth, contact pressure, or retention in standard receptacles.

Q: Does the expanded insulation diameter range of the 66024-2 affect compatibility?

A: No. The 66024-2 insulation diameter range of 0.115" ~ 0.170" encompasses the 696369-1 range of 0.115" ~ 0.160". The expanded upper limit provides additional accommodation for wire insulation variations and does not compromise compatibility with the 14-16 AWG wire gauge specification.

Q: Why is the contact material listed as Copper for the 66024-2 instead of Brass?

A: Both materials are acceptable for tin-plated quick-connect terminals. Copper provides equivalent electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance when finished with tin plating. The contact finish (tin) is identical for both parts, ensuring equivalent electrical performance and environmental protection.

Q: What packaging difference exists between the 696369-1 and 66024-2?

A: The 696369-1 packaging is listed as unspecified in the product database. The 66024-2 is supplied in bulk packaging, which is standard for high-volume production applications. Bulk packaging does not affect the terminal specifications or performance.

Q: Are there any compliance or regulatory differences between the two parts?

A: Both parts carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.90.4000) classifications for export control and tariff purposes. Both maintain MSL 1 rating for moisture sensitivity. The 696369-1 is confirmed ROHS3 compliant; the 66024-2 RoHS status is listed as not applicable, which reflects database classification methodology rather than non-compliance.

Q: Is the 66024-2 suitable for new product designs?

A: Yes. The 66024-2 is classified as active product status and is the recommended terminal for new designs requiring 0.250" quick-connect male crimp terminals rated for 14-16 AWG wire. The active status ensures long-term availability and manufacturing support.
