Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution between 867052-3 and 5-867052-1 is valid based on the following matching parameters:

• Wire Gauge: Both parts are rated for 20 AWG wire
• Contact Termination Method: Both utilize crimp termination
• Contact Finish Material: Both feature tin finish
• Contact Finish Thickness: Both maintain 100.0µin (2.54µm) thickness
• Pin or Socket Configuration: Both are non-gendered contacts
• Series Classification: Both belong to the AMPMODU series
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: Both are MSL 1 (Unlimited)
• Base Product Number: Both share base product number 867052

The primary distinction between these parts is product status and compliance certification. Part 5-867052-1 is active and ROHS3 compliant, whereas 867052-3 is obsolete.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection: Part 5-867052-1 is the recommended selection for new designs and ongoing procurement. This part maintains active product status with TE Connectivity AMP Connectors and carries ROHS3 compliance certification, ensuring alignment with current regulatory requirements and supply chain continuity.

Obsolete Part Consideration: Part 867052-3 is classified as obsolete and should not be selected for new applications. Existing inventory of 867052-3 may be utilized in legacy system maintenance only when 5-867052-1 is unavailable and backward compatibility is confirmed.

Compliance Alignment: The substitute part 5-867052-1 provides REACH Unaffected status and ROHS3 compliance, whereas 867052-3 carries undefined REACH status and non-applicable RoHS classification. Selection of 5-867052-1 ensures compliance with current environmental and regulatory standards.

Electrical and Mechanical Equivalence: Both parts satisfy identical electrical and mechanical requirements for 20 AWG crimp termination applications within the AMPMODU rectangular connector series. No functional degradation or performance variation occurs when substituting 5-867052-1 for 867052-3 in compatible connector assemblies.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 5-867052-1 directly replace 867052-3 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications including wire gauge (20 AWG), crimp termination, tin finish (100.0µin thickness), non-gendered configuration, and MSL 1 rating. Direct substitution is valid for compatible connector housings and applications.

Q: Why is 867052-3 listed as obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence indicates that TE Connectivity AMP Connectors has discontinued manufacturing and support for this part number. The active equivalent 5-867052-1 provides continued availability and compliance support.

Q: What is the difference in packaging between these parts?

A: Part 5-867052-1 is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) packaging. The packaging specification for 867052-3 is not provided in the technical documentation. Packaging differences do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Does the ROHS3 compliance of 5-867052-1 affect compatibility?

A: No. ROHS3 compliance indicates adherence to current environmental standards and does not alter the electrical or mechanical function of the contact. This certification ensures the substitute part meets modern regulatory requirements.

Q: Are there any restrictions on using 5-867052-1 in legacy systems?

A: No electrical or mechanical restrictions exist. The substitute part maintains identical specifications for wire gauge, termination method, contact finish, and configuration. System compatibility depends on connector housing design, not on the contact part number.

Q: What does MSL 1 (Unlimited) mean for these contacts?

A: MSL 1 (Unlimited) indicates that these contacts have no moisture sensitivity limitations and do not require special handling, storage, or baking procedures prior to assembly or use.
