TE Connectivity 7-2232265-2 Rectangular Connector Plug Housing Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 7-2232265-2 is a 2-position rectangular connector plug housing from the Power Triple Lock and Glow Wire series. This component serves as the housing interface for blade socket contacts in applications requiring crimp termination and latch lock fastening. The part is actively manufactured and maintained in production status.

Substitute parts become necessary when specific color coding requirements differ from design specifications, when inventory availability requires alternative sourcing, or when application-specific thermal operating ranges necessitate component selection from the available product family.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 7-2232265-2 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector Type: Plug
• Number of Positions: 2
• Pitch: 0.236" (6.00mm)
• Contact Type: Female Blade Socket
• Contact Termination: Crimp
• Fastening Type: Latch Lock
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Insulation Material: Polyamide (PA6), Nylon 6
• Series: Power Triple Lock, Glow Wire
• RoHS Compliance: RoHS Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

Variable Parameters Permitting Substitution:

• Housing Color: Green (7-2232265-2), Gray (5-2232265-2), Orange (8-2232265-2)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 140°C (7-2232265-2 and 8-2232265-2), -55°C ~ 105°C (5-2232265-2)
• REACH Status: REACH Unaffected (7-2232265-2 and 8-2232265-2), Vendor Undefined (5-2232265-2)

All substitute parts maintain identical mechanical and electrical interface specifications, ensuring direct interchangeability at the connector level. Color differentiation serves application-specific identification purposes and does not affect functional performance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection (7-2232265-2 - Green): Select this part when application requirements specify the full operating temperature range of -55°C to 140°C and REACH Unaffected status is required. This part maintains the highest thermal capability within the substitute group.

Alternative Selection (8-2232265-2 - Orange): Select this part when color coding requirements specify orange identification and full operating temperature range of -55°C to 140°C is required. This part provides equivalent thermal performance to the primary selection with alternative color differentiation.

Conditional Selection (5-2232265-2 - Gray): Select this part only when application operating temperature does not exceed 105°C and color coding requires gray identification. This part has reduced maximum operating temperature compared to the primary and alternative selections. REACH status is listed as Vendor Undefined; verify compliance requirements before selection if REACH documentation is mandatory for your application.

All three parts maintain RoHS compliance and identical mechanical interface specifications. Selection between parts should be based on color coding requirements and thermal operating range constraints specific to the end application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 5-2232265-2 (Gray) be used as a direct replacement for 7-2232265-2 (Green)?

A: The 5-2232265-2 is mechanically and electrically interchangeable with 7-2232265-2 at the connector interface level. However, the maximum operating temperature of 5-2232265-2 is limited to 105°C, compared to 140°C for 7-2232265-2. Substitution is valid only if your application does not require operation above 105°C. Additionally, verify REACH compliance requirements, as 5-2232265-2 lists REACH status as Vendor Undefined.

Q: What is the difference between 7-2232265-2 and 8-2232265-2?

A: The primary difference is housing color: 7-2232265-2 is green, while 8-2232265-2 is orange. Both parts share identical operating temperature ranges (-55°C to 140°C), RoHS compliance, and all mechanical and electrical specifications. Selection between these parts depends solely on color coding requirements for your application.

Q: Are contacts included with these connector housings?

A: No. All three parts (7-2232265-2, 5-2232265-2, and 8-2232265-2) are housings only. Contacts must be sourced separately and crimped into the housing according to TE Connectivity specifications.

Q: Can I use these parts interchangeably in high-temperature applications?

A: Parts 7-2232265-2 and 8-2232265-2 are rated to 140°C and are suitable for high-temperature applications within this range. Part 5-2232265-2 is limited to 105°C and is not suitable for applications requiring operation above this temperature.

Q: What does "Glow Wire Compliant" mean?

A: Glow Wire Compliance indicates that the insulation material meets flammability standards for electrical components under glow wire test conditions. All three substitute parts carry this certification.

Q: How does Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 affect handling and storage?

A: Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited) indicates these components have no moisture sensitivity restrictions. Standard handling and storage procedures apply without special desiccant or humidity control requirements.

Q: What is the pitch specification, and why does it matter?

A: Pitch of 0.236" (6.00mm) specifies the center-to-center distance between the two contact positions. This dimension is critical for mechanical compatibility with mating connectors and PCB layouts. All substitute parts maintain identical pitch specifications.
