TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 770364-1 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 770364-1 is a 2-position rectangular connector receptacle housing with a 0.248" (6.30mm) pitch, designed for free-hanging in-line applications. This connector operates across a temperature range of -55°C to 105°C and utilizes crimp termination with a locking ramp fastening mechanism. The part is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent alternatives to maintain supply chain continuity and support ongoing production requirements.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity 770364-1 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

Connector Type: Receptacle
Number of Positions: 2
Pitch: 0.248" (6.30mm)
Number of Rows: 1
Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
Contact Termination: Crimp
Fastening Type: Locking Ramp
Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 105°C
Insulation Material: Polyamide/Nylon composition
RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant
Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

The Molex 0050361687 satisfies all mandatory matching parameters and qualifies as a parametric equivalent. Variations in color (Natural versus Black) and packaging format (bulk versus standard) do not affect functional interchangeability in connector housing applications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Molex 0050361687 is the qualified parametric equivalent for the obsolete TE Connectivity 770364-1. Selection of this substitute is supported by the following engineering factors:

Compliance and Certification: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and identical moisture sensitivity ratings, ensuring regulatory and environmental compatibility with existing design specifications.

Product Status: The TE Connectivity 770364-1 is classified as obsolete, creating supply chain risk. The Molex 0050361687 maintains active product status with confirmed inventory availability (27,796 pieces in stock), providing reliable long-term sourcing.

Functional Equivalence: All critical electrical and mechanical parameters align across both parts, including connector type, position count, pitch, mounting configuration, termination method, and operating temperature range.

Material Compatibility: Both parts utilize polyamide nylon insulation materials with equivalent thermal and environmental performance characteristics across the specified operating range.

The color difference (Natural versus Black) represents a cosmetic variation that does not impact electrical or mechanical function in connector housing applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0050361687 directly replace the TE Connectivity 770364-1 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The Molex 0050361687 is a parametric equivalent that matches all critical specifications including connector type, position count, pitch, mounting type, termination method, fastening mechanism, and operating temperature range. Direct substitution is supported by functional equivalence.

Q: Does the color difference between Natural (770364-1) and Black (0050361687) affect compatibility?

A: No. Color is a cosmetic attribute that does not affect electrical or mechanical performance. Both housings provide identical functional characteristics in connector applications.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the TE Connectivity 770364-1 and Molex 0050361687 are ROHS3 compliant, meeting regulatory requirements for hazardous substance restrictions.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for both parts?

A: Both parts carry a Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage or handling.

Q: Why is the TE Connectivity 770364-1 listed as obsolete?

A: The TE Connectivity 770364-1 has reached end-of-life status. The Molex 0050361687 provides an active alternative with equivalent specifications to support continued production and design requirements.

Q: Are contacts included with these connector housings?

A: No. Both the TE Connectivity 770364-1 and Molex 0050361687 are supplied as housings only. Contacts must be sourced separately and are not included with these parts.

Q: What is the pitch specification, and why is it important for substitution?

A: Both parts feature a 0.248" (6.30mm) pitch, which defines the center-to-center spacing between connector positions. Pitch equivalence is mandatory for mechanical and electrical compatibility.

Q: Can the Molex 0050361687 be used in applications originally designed for the TE Connectivity 770364-1?

A: Yes. The parametric equivalence across all critical specifications supports direct application compatibility without design modification.
