TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 7-928344-2 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 7-928344-2 is a rectangular connector housing designed for receptacle applications. This 2-position connector operates at a 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch and features a friction lock fastening mechanism suitable for free-hanging, in-line mounting configurations. The part is manufactured from Polyamide (PA66) Nylon 6/6 material and maintains operational capability across a temperature range of -40°C to 105°C. As an active product with RoHS compliance and MSL 1 rating, substitute parts are identified to support inventory management, regional availability, and procurement flexibility while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 7-928344-2 rectangular connector housing are identified based on strict parametric equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical specifications. The substitution logic is based on the following key parameters that must remain constant:

• Connector Type: Receptacle configuration
• Contact Type: Female Socket
• Number of Positions: 2-position housing
• Pitch Specification: 0.197" (5.00mm) center-to-center spacing
• Number of Rows: Single row configuration
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line) orientation
• Contact Termination: Crimp termination method
• Fastening Type: Friction Lock mechanism
• Insulation Material: Polyamide (PA66) Nylon 6/6
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C ~ 105°C
• Product Status: Active
• RoHS Compliance: RoHS Compliant
• MSL Rating: 1 (Unlimited)

Substitute part 928344-2 maintains all electrical and mechanical parameters identical to the main part. The only variation is the color specification (Natural versus Black), which does not affect functional compatibility or electrical performance in rectangular connector housing applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the main part 7-928344-2 and the substitute part 928344-2 are active products manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors with full RoHS compliance and MSL 1 rating. Selection between these parts is determined by application-specific requirements and availability considerations.

The 7-928344-2 (Black) variant is suitable for applications where color coding or visual identification is required for circuit assembly or maintenance procedures. The 928344-2 (Natural) variant provides equivalent electrical and mechanical performance with higher current inventory availability (5167 pieces versus 770 pieces).

Both parts satisfy identical electrical specifications, mechanical tolerances, and environmental operating conditions. The choice between variants does not impact connector performance, mating compatibility, or thermal characteristics. Selection should be based on procurement lead time, inventory status, and application-specific color requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 928344-2 (Natural) substitute directly replace the 7-928344-2 (Black) in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts are parametrically equivalent rectangular connector housings with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The only difference is the insulation material color. Functional compatibility is complete across all electrical parameters, pitch specifications, mounting configurations, and operating temperature ranges.

Q: Are there any compatibility issues when substituting between these two part numbers?

A: No compatibility issues exist. Both parts feature identical 2-position, 5.00mm pitch receptacle housings with female socket contacts, friction lock fastening, and crimp termination. Mating with corresponding plug connectors and contact insertion procedures remain unchanged.

Q: Does the color variation affect the connector's electrical performance?

A: No. Color is a cosmetic specification only and does not affect electrical conductivity, impedance, signal integrity, or any electrical characteristic. Both Black and Natural variants maintain identical electrical performance across the full operating temperature range of -40°C to 105°C.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the 7-928344-2 and 928344-2 are RoHS Compliant and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings, indicating equivalent environmental and regulatory compliance.

Q: What is the primary reason to consider the substitute part?

A: The substitute part 928344-2 (Natural) offers significantly higher inventory availability (5167 pieces) compared to the main part 7-928344-2 (Black, 770 pieces). This availability advantage supports faster procurement cycles and reduces lead time risk for high-volume production requirements.

Q: Are contacts included with these connector housings?

A: No. Both the main part and substitute are connector housings only. Contacts are not included and must be procured separately. Ensure that selected contacts are compatible with the crimp termination method and 5.00mm pitch specification.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in the same assembly?

A: Yes, within the same assembly or across different production batches. The parametric equivalence ensures that substitution does not require design changes, assembly procedure modifications, or re-qualification of mating interfaces.
