TE Connectivity 925663-2 Socket Contact Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 925663-2 is an active rectangular connector socket contact designed for the MATE-N-LOK series. This component is a socket contact rated for 10-14 AWG wire gauges with crimp termination and tin contact finish. The part is ROHS3 compliant and carries an MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating suitability for standard storage and handling conditions without moisture sensitivity constraints.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are maintained across wire gauge, contact termination method, contact finish, series compatibility, and compliance certifications. Identifying qualified substitutes ensures design flexibility and supply chain continuity while maintaining connector system integrity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TE Connectivity 925663-2 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Parameters: Wire gauge rating (10-14 AWG) and contact termination method (crimp) must be identical to ensure proper mating force, current-carrying capacity, and mechanical retention within the MATE-N-LOK connector system.

Mechanical Parameters: Socket contact configuration and contact finish (tin) must match to guarantee dimensional compatibility and electrical performance consistency within the connector assembly.

Compliance Parameters: RoHS3 compliance, REACH unaffected status, and MSL rating must be maintained to satisfy regulatory requirements and environmental storage conditions.

Series Compatibility: All substitute parts must belong to the MATE-N-LOK series to ensure physical and electrical interoperability within the connector ecosystem.

The identified substitute part 925663-1 maintains equivalence across all critical parameters while differing only in packaging configuration (bulk versus standard packaging).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the TE Connectivity 925663-2 and 925663-1 are active products with full ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Selection between these parts is based on packaging requirements and inventory availability rather than electrical or mechanical performance differences.

The 925663-2 is supplied in standard packaging configuration, while the 925663-1 is supplied in bulk packaging. Both parts carry identical electrical specifications, mechanical dimensions, and compliance certifications. The choice between these parts depends on procurement volume requirements, storage protocols, and assembly line handling procedures.

Both parts maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating no special moisture control measures are required during storage or handling. This classification supports flexible inventory management and extended shelf life without environmental controls.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 925663-1 be used as a direct replacement for 925663-2 in MATE-N-LOK connector assemblies?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent socket contacts with identical wire gauge ratings (10-14 AWG), crimp termination, tin finish, and series compatibility. The only difference is packaging configuration (bulk versus standard).

Q: What determines substitution eligibility for MATE-N-LOK socket contacts?

A: Substitution requires matching wire gauge, contact termination method, contact finish, series designation, and compliance certifications. These parameters ensure proper mating force, current capacity, and connector system integrity.

Q: Are there any compliance or regulatory differences between 925663-2 and 925663-1?

A: No. Both parts carry identical ROHS3 compliance, REACH unaffected status, EAR99 ECCN classification, and HTSUS code 8536.90.4000. Regulatory requirements are satisfied equally by either part.

Q: Does packaging type affect the electrical performance of these socket contacts?

A: No. Packaging configuration (standard versus bulk) does not affect electrical or mechanical performance. It impacts only procurement volume handling, storage logistics, and assembly line feed methods.

Q: What is the MSL rating significance for these parts?

A: Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity constraints. These contacts do not require special desiccant storage, humidity-controlled environments, or time-limited shelf life management.

Q: Can these socket contacts be used with wire gauges outside the 10-14 AWG range?

A: No. Both parts are rated exclusively for 10-14 AWG wire gauges. Using wire gauges outside this range compromises crimp quality, contact retention, and electrical performance.
