TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 926884-6 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 926884-6 is a socket contact connector designed for the Universal MATE-N-LOK series. This component is a rectangular connector socket rated for 18-24 AWG wire gauges with gold contact finish and crimp termination. The part is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent alternatives that maintain functional compatibility within the MATE-N-LOK connector family. Substitute parts must preserve the same electrical and mechanical interface specifications to ensure direct replacement capability in existing applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 926884-6 is determined by the following critical parameters that must remain constant across all equivalent parts:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Series: Universal MATE-N-LOK
• Pin or Socket: Socket
• Contact Termination: Crimp
• Wire Gauge: 18-24 AWG
• Base Product Number: 926884
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

Variable Parameters Permitting Substitution:

• Contact Finish material (Gold to Tin or equivalent)
• Contact Finish Thickness (within acceptable ranges for the contact type)
• Product Status (Obsolete to Active)
• Packaging configuration

The substitute part 926884-1 maintains all mandatory parameters while differing only in contact finish material (Tin instead of Gold) and finish thickness. This variation is acceptable for applications where the contact finish material does not impose specific electrical or environmental requirements beyond standard rectangular connector performance.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

926884-1 as Primary Substitute:

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 926884-1 is the direct substitute for the obsolete 926884-6. Both parts share identical mechanical and electrical interface specifications within the Universal MATE-N-LOK series, including socket contact type, crimp termination, and 18-24 AWG wire gauge rating.

The 926884-1 differs from the main part only in contact finish material (Tin versus Gold) and finish thickness. The substitute maintains full RoHS compliance and identical moisture sensitivity classification. The 926884-1 carries Active product status with significantly higher inventory availability (4929 units versus 943 units), ensuring supply chain continuity for ongoing production and replacement applications.

Selection of the 926884-1 is appropriate for applications where gold plating is not a specified requirement. The tin contact finish provides equivalent electrical performance for standard rectangular connector applications within the MATE-N-LOK family.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 926884-1 directly replace the 926884-6 in existing assemblies?

A: The 926884-1 is mechanically and electrically compatible with the 926884-6 within the Universal MATE-N-LOK connector system. Both parts are socket contacts with identical wire gauge ratings (18-24 AWG), crimp termination, and base product specifications. The primary difference is contact finish material (Tin versus Gold). Direct replacement is applicable unless the original design specifies gold contact finish as a mandatory requirement.

Q: What is the significance of the contact finish difference between these parts?

A: The 926884-6 features gold contact finish at 31.5µin (0.80µm) thickness, while the 926884-1 features tin contact finish at 78.7µin (2.00µm) thickness. Both finishes are standard for rectangular connectors and provide adequate electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance for typical applications. The choice between gold and tin is application-dependent and relates to specific environmental or electrical performance requirements.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The 926884-6 is ROHS3 Compliant, and the 926884-1 is RoHS Compliant. Both parts meet regulatory requirements for hazardous substance restrictions. The 926884-1 maintains full compliance status with active product designation.

Q: What is the packaging difference between these parts?

A: The 926884-6 packaging is not specified in the available data. The 926884-1 is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) packaging. Packaging configuration does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility; it relates only to order quantity and handling logistics.

Q: Why is the 926884-6 classified as obsolete?

A: The 926884-6 carries obsolete product status, indicating it is no longer in active production. The 926884-1 serves as the active equivalent within the TE Connectivity product line, providing continued availability and supply chain support for the Universal MATE-N-LOK socket contact specification.

Q: Are the moisture sensitivity levels identical?

A: Yes. Both the 926884-6 and 926884-1 are classified as MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage, handling, or use. This specification is identical across both parts.
