Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 85969-2 are identified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional equivalence:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Contact type: Socket
• Contact termination method: Crimp
• Contact finish material: Gold
• Contact finish thickness: 30.0µin (0.76µm)
• Wire gauge compatibility: Overlapping range within 20-24 AWG specification
• Product status: Active
• RoHS compliance: Required
• Moisture sensitivity level: 1 (Unlimited)

The substitute part 76347-312LF meets these criteria with the following consideration: the wire gauge specification is 20-22 AWG, which represents a subset of the original part's 20-24 AWG range. This subset compatibility allows the substitute to function in applications utilizing wire gauges 20-22 AWG. Applications requiring 23-24 AWG wire gauge support must use the original 85969-2 part.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For applications utilizing wire gauges 20-22 AWG: The substitute part 76347-312LF (Amphenol ICC / FCI) is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the 85969-2. Both parts are active products with RoHS compliance, identical contact finish specifications, and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating. The substitute is available in Cut Tape (CT) packaging format, whereas the original is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging requirements and inventory availability.

For applications requiring wire gauge support of 23-24 AWG: The original part 85969-2 must be used, as the substitute part 76347-312LF does not support wire gauges above 22 AWG.

Compliance and Regulatory Considerations: Both the original and substitute parts maintain RoHS compliance and carry identical moisture sensitivity ratings. No additional regulatory or compliance barriers exist between these parts for applications within their specified wire gauge ranges.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 76347-312LF substitute for the 85969-2 in all applications?

A: The 76347-312LF is functionally equivalent for applications using wire gauges 20-22 AWG. Applications requiring 23-24 AWG wire gauge support must use the original 85969-2 part. Verify your application's wire gauge requirement before selecting a substitute.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The primary difference is the wire gauge specification. The 85969-2 supports 20-24 AWG, while the 76347-312LF supports 20-22 AWG. All other electrical and mechanical parameters, including contact finish, termination method, and compliance certifications, are identical.

Q: Does packaging format affect electrical performance?

A: No. The packaging format difference (Tape & Reel versus Cut Tape) does not affect electrical or mechanical performance. Packaging selection is based on manufacturing process requirements, inventory management, and handling procedures.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the 85969-2 and 76347-312LF are RoHS compliant and carry identical moisture sensitivity ratings of MSL 1 (Unlimited).

Q: What does the contact finish thickness specification indicate?

A: The contact finish thickness of 30.0µin (0.76µm) specifies the gold plating depth on the contact surface. Both parts carry identical specifications, ensuring equivalent electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance characteristics.

Q: Can I use the 76347-312LF as a long-term replacement for the 85969-2?

A: The 76347-312LF can serve as a substitute for applications within its wire gauge specification (20-22 AWG). Both parts are active products with stable availability. Selection should be based on your application's specific wire gauge requirements and packaging format preferences.
