Dimensional Compatibility: Minor dimensional variations in tab length (0.004" difference) and overall length (0.036" difference) remain within acceptable tolerances for mating interface and installation compatibility.

Electrical Equivalence: Identical tab width, thickness, wire gauge, contact material, and finish ensure electrical performance equivalence in all applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 8-640905-1 be used as a direct replacement for the 8-696302-1 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. The 8-640905-1 maintains identical tab width (0.250"), tab thickness (0.032"), wire gauge (14-16 AWG), contact material (brass with tin finish), and mounting configuration. The minor dimensional variations in tab length and overall length do not affect mating interface compatibility or installation procedures.

Q: What is the significance of the product status change from Obsolete to Active?

A: Active product status indicates continued manufacturer support, availability, and compliance with current regulatory standards. The 8-640905-1 is manufactured to current specifications and is available in production quantities, whereas the 8-696302-1 is no longer manufactured.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 8-696302-1 packaging is listed as undefined, while the 8-640905-1 is supplied in bulk packaging. Bulk packaging is standard for production applications and does not affect component functionality or compatibility.

Q: How do the RoHS and REACH compliance statuses differ?

A: The 8-696302-1 has undefined RoHS status and vendor-undefined REACH status. The 8-640905-1 is ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting current environmental and chemical restriction requirements for EU and global markets.

Q: Are the insulation diameter specifications compatible?

A: The 8-696302-1 specifies insulation diameter of 0.110" to 0.165" (2.79mm to 4.19mm), while the 8-640905-1 specifies 0.170" (4.32mm). Both accommodate 14-16 AWG wire insulation within acceptable ranges for the crimp termination process.

Q: What series designation applies to the 8-640905-1?

A: The 8-640905-1 is designated as both Faston and PIDG series, providing compatibility with both series specifications and applications.
