Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 925597-2 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Contact Type: Socket
• Contact Termination Method: Crimp
• Wire Gauge Rating: 13-17 AWG
• Contact Finish Material: Tin
• Series Classification: Junior Timer
• Connector Category: Rectangular Connectors
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)
• RoHS Compliance Status: RoHS3 or equivalent

The substitute part 925595-1 satisfies all mandatory matching parameters and represents the active production equivalent. The primary distinction between the main part and its substitute is the product status transition from Obsolete to Active, coupled with enhanced packaging availability and significantly higher inventory levels.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 925595-1 serves as the direct active production equivalent for the obsolete 925597-2. Both components maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters including contact type, termination method, wire gauge rating, contact finish, and environmental compliance classifications.

Selection Basis:

The 925595-1 is recommended for new designs and production applications due to its Active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity. The component carries ROHS3 compliance certification, which supersedes the RoHS Compliant designation of the main part, providing enhanced regulatory alignment with current environmental standards.

Inventory considerations favor the 925595-1, with 21214 pieces in stock compared to 1139 pieces of the 925597-2. The substitute part is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) packaging, which facilitates automated assembly processes and reduces handling requirements in high-volume manufacturing environments.

All electrical and mechanical parameters remain functionally equivalent between the two components, supporting direct substitution without circuit redesign or connector interface modifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 925595-1 be used as a direct replacement for 925597-2 in existing assemblies?
