TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 696434-1 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 696434-1 is an insulated ring terminal connector designed for 4 AWG wire gauge applications with a D-shaped stud configuration and #10 stud size. This component is part of the Plasti-Grip series and features crimp termination with tin-plated copper contact material. The 696434-1 is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent alternatives to maintain design continuity and ensure supply chain availability for new production and repair applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 696434-1 is based on the following critical parameters that must remain consistent across equivalent components:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Wire Gauge: 4 AWG (electrical current carrying capacity)
• Termination Type: Crimp (assembly method compatibility)
• Contact Material: Copper with Tin finish (electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance)
• Insulation Material: Poly-Vinyl Chloride (PVC) (environmental and thermal performance)
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line), Right Angle (mechanical installation configuration)
• Thickness: 0.048" (1.22mm) (mechanical fit and durability)
• Insulation Diameter: 0.515" (13.08mm) (wire accommodation)
• Series: Plasti-Grip (product family consistency)
• RoHS3 Compliance: Required (regulatory requirement)

Variable Parameters Allowing Substitution:

• Terminal Type: D-Shaped to Circular (functional ring terminal geometry)
• Stud/Tab Size: #10 Stud to 1/4 Stud (connection point accommodation)
• Width - Outer Edges: 0.391" to 0.546" (dimensional variation within functional tolerance)

The substitute part 54748-1 maintains all mandatory parameters while offering a circular terminal type with 1/4 stud size, providing functional equivalence for applications where the specific stud geometry is not a design constraint.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 696434-1 is classified as obsolete, making the active substitute part 54748-1 the appropriate selection for ongoing production and maintenance applications. Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and identical electrical specifications for 4 AWG wire gauge applications.

The primary difference between these components is the terminal geometry: the 696434-1 features a D-shaped terminal with #10 stud size, while the 54748-1 provides a circular terminal with 1/4 stud size. This geometric variation does not affect electrical performance or current-carrying capacity, as both maintain identical wire gauge, contact material, contact finish, and insulation specifications.

Selection of 54748-1 as a substitute is appropriate when the application accommodates circular terminal geometry and 1/4 stud connection points. The substitute part's active product status ensures continued availability and supply chain support compared to the obsolete 696434-1.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 54748-1 directly replace the 696434-1 in all applications?

A: The 54748-1 provides electrical and material equivalence to the 696434-1 for 4 AWG wire gauge applications. However, the terminal geometry differs: 54748-1 features a circular terminal with 1/4 stud size, while 696434-1 features a D-shaped terminal with #10 stud size. Substitution is valid when the application accommodates these geometric differences and the connection point accepts a 1/4 stud configuration.

Q: What are the critical parameters that must match between the main part and substitute?

A: Wire gauge (4 AWG), termination method (crimp), contact material (copper with tin finish), insulation material (PVC), mounting configuration (free hanging, right angle), and compliance certifications (ROHS3) must remain identical. These parameters ensure electrical performance, mechanical durability, and regulatory compliance.

Q: Why is the 696434-1 obsolete and what does this mean for procurement?

A: Obsolete status indicates the 696434-1 is no longer in active production. The 54748-1 is the active equivalent part available from TE Connectivity AMP Connectors. For new designs and ongoing production, the 54748-1 should be specified to ensure supply chain continuity and manufacturer support.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 696434-1 packaging information is not specified in available data. The 54748-1 is supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging configuration should be confirmed with the supplier based on specific procurement requirements.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory and compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both the 696434-1 and 54748-1 are ROHS3 compliant and carry identical MSL (Moisture Sensitivity Level) ratings of 1 (Unlimited). Both are classified under ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8536.90.4000.

Q: What is the difference between D-shaped and circular terminal types?

A: Terminal type refers to the geometry of the ring connector. D-shaped terminals provide a specific contact profile, while circular terminals provide a round contact profile. Both accommodate the same wire gauge and provide equivalent electrical performance. Selection depends on the mating connector or stud configuration in the application.

Q: How do stud sizes #10 and 1/4 differ?

A: Stud size refers to the diameter of the connection point. #10 stud and 1/4 stud are different nominal sizes. The 1/4 stud (0.250") is larger than the #10 stud. Substitution is valid only when the application's mating connector or terminal block accommodates the 1/4 stud size.
