Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors part number 35216 is the direct equivalent substitute for the discontinued 8-35216-1. Both parts are manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors and share identical electrical, mechanical, and material specifications across all critical parameters.

Selection Basis:

The substitute part 35216 is classified as active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability. The part maintains full compliance with RoHS standards and carries the same ECCN and HTSUS classifications as the original part. All dimensional, electrical, and material properties are identical, confirming direct functional interchangeability.

The substitute is available in bulk packaging with higher inventory levels (1032 pieces) compared to the original part's remaining stock (673 pieces), providing improved procurement flexibility for production requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can part number 35216 be used as a direct replacement for 8-35216-1?

A: Yes. Part 35216 is the direct equivalent substitute. All electrical specifications, mechanical dimensions, material composition, and environmental compliance parameters are identical between the two part numbers.

Q: What is the difference between 8-35216-1 and 35216?

A: The primary difference is product status. Part 8-35216-1 is discontinued at DiGi Electronics, while part 35216 is active. The packaging differs (original packaging not specified versus bulk packaging for the substitute). All functional and physical specifications are identical.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns when substituting 35216 for 8-35216-1?

A: No compatibility concerns exist. Both parts are slotted ring terminals for #6 studs, accept 16-22 AWG wire, use crimp termination, and feature identical dimensions and material properties. Direct substitution is appropriate for all applications using the original part.

Q: What wire gauge range does this terminal accommodate?

A: The terminal accommodates 16-22 AWG wire gauges. The insulation diameter range of 0.105" to 0.140" (2.67mm to 3.56mm) supports this wire gauge specification.

Q: Is the substitute part RoHS compliant?

A: The original part 8-35216-1 is RoHS compliant. The substitute part 35216 lists RoHS status as not applicable, which is typical for bulk-packaged terminal components where compliance is inherent to the component design rather than the packaging configuration.

Q: What is the stud size for this terminal?

A: The terminal is designed for #6 studs. This specification is consistent across both the original and substitute parts.

Q: What insulation material is used?

A: The insulation is polyamide (PA), nylon. This material provides electrical insulation and mechanical protection for the copper contact and crimp termination.

Q: What is the contact finish specification?

A: The contact finish is tin-plated copper. This finish provides corrosion resistance and ensures reliable electrical contact over the component's operational life.
