Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 770248-2 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Series Compatibility: Both parts must belong to the Universal MATE-N-LOK II series
• Contact Configuration: Split pin contact type
• Termination Method: Crimp termination
• Wire Gauge Range: 14-20 AWG
• Contact Finish: Gold plating at 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness
• Base Product Number: Derived from the 770248 base designation

The substitute part 1-770248-0 satisfies all these criteria and represents the active production equivalent of the obsolete 770248-2. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications within the MATE-N-LOK II connector family.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 1-770248-0 is the direct functional equivalent of the 770248-2 for all electrical and mechanical applications. Selection between these parts should be based on the following factors:

Product Status: The 770248-2 is obsolete, while 1-770248-0 is active production. For new designs and ongoing procurement, 1-770248-0 is the appropriate selection to ensure long-term supply availability.

Regulatory Compliance: The 1-770248-0 is RoHS Compliant, whereas the 770248-2 is RoHS non-compliant. Applications subject to RoHS requirements must use 1-770248-0. Both parts carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.90.4000) classifications.

Packaging: The 1-770248-0 is supplied in bulk packaging, which may differ from the original 770248-2 packaging specification. Verify packaging requirements for your procurement and assembly processes.

Electrical and Mechanical Equivalence: All contact specifications, wire gauge ratings, termination methods, and finish specifications are identical between the two parts, ensuring direct functional substitution in existing applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 1-770248-0 be used as a direct replacement for 770248-2 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical across all specified parameters including wire gauge (14-20 AWG), contact finish (gold at 30.0µin thickness), termination method (crimp), and series designation (Universal MATE-N-LOK II). The parts are functionally interchangeable.

Q: What is the primary reason to transition from 770248-2 to 1-770248-0?

A: The 770248-2 is classified as obsolete, while 1-770248-0 is an active production part. This transition ensures continued supply availability and compliance with current manufacturing standards.
