TE Connectivity 925595-3 Socket Contact Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 925595-3 is a rectangular connector socket contact designed for crimp termination with 13-17 AWG wire gauge and gold contact finish. This component is part of the Junior Timer series and is classified as obsolete. Due to its obsolete status, equivalent substitute parts with active product status are available to maintain design continuity and ensure supply chain reliability. Substitute parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications while offering improved availability and compliance certifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 925595-3 is determined by the following critical parameters that must remain constant across all equivalent parts:

• Series Designation: All substitutes must belong to the Junior Timer series
• Contact Type: Socket configuration only
• Termination Method: Crimp termination exclusively
• Wire Gauge Range: 13-17 AWG
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: MSL 1 (Unlimited)
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliant status

The primary variable among substitute parts is the contact finish material. The 925595-3 features a gold contact finish, while substitute parts 925595-1 and 925595-2 utilize tin contact finish. Both contact finish options satisfy the electrical and mechanical requirements for this connector category and maintain compatibility within the Junior Timer series framework.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Recommendation: 925595-1

The 925595-1 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete 925595-3. This part maintains all critical electrical and mechanical specifications while offering the following advantages:

• Active product status ensures long-term availability and supply chain continuity
• ROHS3 compliance provides enhanced regulatory alignment compared to standard RoHS compliance
• Highest inventory level (21214 units) guarantees immediate procurement capability
• Tin contact finish provides equivalent performance within the Junior Timer series specifications

Secondary Recommendation: 925595-2

The 925595-2 serves as an alternative substitute with identical functional specifications to 925595-1. This part is suitable for applications where the primary recommendation is unavailable. Both 925595-1 and 925595-2 feature tin contact finish and active product status, with the primary distinction being inventory availability and packaging configuration.

Contact Finish Consideration

The transition from gold (925595-3) to tin contact finish (925595-1 and 925595-2) does not compromise electrical or mechanical compatibility within the Junior Timer series. Both contact finish materials satisfy the connector category requirements and maintain equivalent performance characteristics for crimp termination applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 925595-1 or 925595-2 be used as direct replacements for the obsolete 925595-3?

A: Yes. Both 925595-1 and 925595-2 are direct functional equivalents. All critical parameters including series designation, socket configuration, crimp termination, wire gauge range (13-17 AWG), and moisture sensitivity level are identical. The contact finish differs (tin versus gold), but this does not affect compatibility within the Junior Timer series.

Q: What is the difference between 925595-1 and 925595-2?

A: Both parts are functionally equivalent with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary differences are product status designation, inventory availability, and packaging configuration. 925595-1 is the manufacturer-recommended option with higher inventory levels and ROHS3 compliance certification.

Q: Does the change from gold to tin contact finish affect performance?

A: No. Both contact finish materials are specified for the Junior Timer series socket contacts and provide equivalent electrical and mechanical performance for 13-17 AWG crimp termination applications.

Q: Why is 925595-3 classified as obsolete?

A: The 925595-3 has been superseded by active product alternatives. Equivalent substitute parts with improved compliance certifications and supply availability are available through TE Connectivity AMP Connectors.

Q: What packaging options are available for substitute parts?

A: Both 925595-1 and 925595-2 are supplied in Cut Tape (CT) packaging configuration.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. All substitute parts meet RoHS compliance requirements. The 925595-1 specifically meets ROHS3 compliance standards, providing enhanced regulatory alignment.

Q: What is the wire gauge compatibility range?

A: All parts in this substitution group, including the main part and substitutes, are rated for 13-17 AWG wire gauge. This specification is consistent across 925595-3, 925595-2, and 925595-1.
