Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 925596-6 is determined by the following critical parameters that must remain constant across all equivalent parts:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Wire Gauge: 15-20 AWG
• Pin or Socket Configuration: Socket
• Contact Termination Method: Crimp
• Series: Junior Timer
• Manufacturer: TE Connectivity AMP Connectors
• Category: Rectangular Connectors
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

Variable Parameters Allowing Substitution:

• Contact Finish (Silver to Tin conversion acceptable)
• Product Status (Obsolete to Active transition acceptable)
• Packaging Format (different packaging options available)
• RoHS Compliance Level (RoHS Compliant to ROHS3 Compliant acceptable)

The substitute parts 925596-2 and 925590-1 maintain all mandatory parameters while offering active product status and alternative contact finishes suitable for equivalent electrical and mechanical performance in the Junior Timer connector series.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

925596-2 Selection Criteria: The 925596-2 is a direct substitute with active product status and bulk packaging. This part maintains RoHS Compliance and shares identical wire gauge, termination method, and series specifications with the main part 925596-6. The contact finish differs from silver to tin, which is acceptable within the Junior Timer connector series specifications. This option provides 792 pieces in current inventory.

925590-1 Selection Criteria: The 925590-1 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute with ROHS3 Compliance, representing an enhanced regulatory standard. This part is available in Cut Tape (CT) packaging and maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The tin contact finish aligns with active product line standards. This option provides 2400 pieces in current inventory and represents the highest compliance level available.

Obsolescence Transition: The 925596-6 is classified as obsolete, making transition to an active substitute part necessary for continued component sourcing. Both substitute options maintain functional equivalence through identical wire gauge, socket configuration, and crimp termination specifications. The selection between 925596-2 and 925590-1 depends on packaging requirements and regulatory compliance preferences for the end application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 925596-6 be directly replaced with 925596-2 or 925590-1?

A: Yes. Both substitute parts maintain identical wire gauge (15-20 AWG), socket configuration, crimp termination, and Junior Timer series specifications. The contact finish change from silver to tin is within acceptable substitution parameters for this connector category.

Q: What is the difference between the two substitute options?

A: The primary differences are packaging format and RoHS compliance level. The 925596-2 is supplied in bulk packaging with RoHS Compliance, while the 925590-1 is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) packaging with ROHS3 Compliance. Both maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Q: Does the contact finish change from silver to tin affect compatibility?

A: No. Both silver and tin contact finishes are specified for the 15-20 AWG wire gauge and crimp termination within the Junior Timer series. The substitution is electrically and mechanically equivalent.

Q: Which substitute part should be selected for new designs?

A: The 925590-1 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute and provides ROHS3 Compliance with the highest regulatory standard. This part is suitable for new design implementations requiring active product status and enhanced compliance certification.

Q: What packaging options are available for the substitute parts?

A: The 925596-2 is available in bulk packaging, while the 925590-1 is available in Cut Tape (CT) packaging. Packaging selection depends on production volume and assembly process requirements.

Q: Are both substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The 925596-2 is RoHS Compliant, and the 925590-1 is ROHS3 Compliant. Both meet RoHS regulatory requirements, with the 925590-1 representing an enhanced compliance standard.

Q: What is the Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) for the substitute parts?

A: Both substitute parts have MSL 1 (Unlimited), identical to the main part 925596-6. This indicates no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.
