Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Molex 0190020024 terminal is the direct equivalent substitute for the obsolete TE Connectivity AMP 8-696366-1. Selection of this substitute is supported by the following factors:

Compliance Alignment: Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory compatibility across applications.

Product Status: The Molex 0190020024 is classified as active with substantial inventory availability (97,161 pieces), providing reliable long-term supply continuity compared to the obsolete TE Connectivity part (765 pieces remaining).

Electrical and Mechanical Equivalence: All critical interface parameters—tab width, thickness, wire gauge rating, contact material, and finish—are identical between the two components. The minor variance in overall length (0.009" difference) and insulation diameter fall within acceptable tolerance ranges for quick connect terminal applications.

Moisture Sensitivity: Both components carry MSL rating 1 (unlimited), indicating identical handling and storage requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0190020024 be used as a direct replacement for the TE Connectivity AMP 8-696366-1?

A: Yes. The Molex 0190020024 meets all electrical and mechanical specifications of the original part, including tab width, thickness, wire gauge rating, contact material, and finish. Both are fully insulated female crimp connectors rated for 14-16 AWG wire.

Q: What is the difference in overall length between these two terminals?

A: The TE Connectivity part measures 0.881" (22.38mm) while the Molex equivalent measures 0.890" (22.61mm). This 0.009" (0.23mm) difference is within acceptable tolerance for quick connect terminal applications and does not affect functional compatibility.

Q: Are there any differences in insulation diameter specifications?

A: The TE Connectivity part specifies an insulation diameter range of 0.105" to 0.160" (2.67mm to 4.06mm). The Molex part specifies 0.142" (3.61mm), which falls within the TE Connectivity range and ensures compatible wire accommodation.

Q: Do both terminals have the same regulatory compliance status?

A: Yes. Both the TE Connectivity AMP 8-696366-1 and Molex 0190020024 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, with identical MSL rating 1 (unlimited) for storage and handling.

Q: Why is the Molex part recommended over the TE Connectivity part?

A: The TE Connectivity part is classified as obsolete with limited remaining inventory. The Molex 0190020024 is an active product with substantial stock availability, ensuring reliable supply for current and future applications.

Q: What packaging format is the Molex substitute available in?

A: The Molex 0190020024 is supplied in bulk packaging, compared to the TE Connectivity part which does not specify a packaging format in the available data.
