Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 925596-1 is determined by strict alignment with the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Socket contact configuration (Pin or Socket designation)
• Wire gauge rating (15-20 AWG)
• Contact termination method (Crimp)
• Contact finish material (Tin)
• Rectangular connector category classification
• Junior Timer series compatibility
• RoHS compliance status
• MSL rating (1 - Unlimited)

The substitute part 925590-1 satisfies all mandatory matching parameters. The primary distinction between the main part and its substitute is the product status transition from obsolete to active, coupled with improved packaging availability in Cut Tape format and enhanced RoHS3 compliance certification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 925590-1 directly replace the 925596-1 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 925590-1 is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the 925596-1. Both components share identical wire gauge ratings (15-20 AWG), contact termination method (Crimp), contact finish (Tin), and socket configuration. The 925590-1 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete 925596-1.

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

A: The transition from obsolete to active status indicates that the 925590-1 is currently in production and available for procurement. This eliminates supply chain risk associated with the 925596-1, which is no longer manufactured. Active status ensures consistent availability for both new production and field service applications.

Q: How do the RoHS compliance levels differ between the two parts?

A: The 925596-1 carries RoHS Compliant certification, while the 925590-1 carries ROHS3 Compliant certification. ROHS3 represents an updated compliance standard that supersedes the original RoHS designation. Both certifications confirm the absence of restricted substances, with ROHS3 reflecting current regulatory requirements.

Q: Are there any differences in wire gauge or termination specifications?

A: No. Both the 925596-1 and 925590-1 are rated for 15-20 AWG wire gauges and utilize crimp termination technology. These specifications are identical and ensure functional compatibility in applications requiring socket contacts within this wire gauge range.

Q: What packaging format is available for the 925590-1?

A: The 925590-1 is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) packaging format. This standardized packaging is suitable for automated assembly processes and provides organized component handling compared to bulk packaging methods.

Q: Are both parts classified within the same connector series?

A: Yes. Both the 925596-1 and 925590-1 belong to the TE Connectivity AMP Connectors Junior Timer series. Series designation confirms compatibility with existing connector assemblies and system designs utilizing this product line.

Q: What is the Moisture Sensitivity Level for both parts?

A: Both components carry an MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. This classification permits storage and handling under standard environmental conditions without special moisture control measures.
