Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete 927878-1 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Series Compatibility: Both parts belong to the Junior Timer series
• Contact Type: Socket contact configuration
• Termination Method: Crimp termination
• Wire Gauge Rating: 13-17 AWG
• Contact Finish: Tin plating
• Electrical Classification: Rectangular connector category
• Environmental Compliance: RoHS compliance and MSL rating

The substitute part 925595-1 maintains identical functional and electrical specifications across all these parameters. The primary distinction is product status: 927878-1 is obsolete while 925595-1 is active, with significantly higher inventory availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 925595-1 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete 927878-1. Both components are manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications within the Junior Timer rectangular connector series.

Compliance Status: The 925595-1 carries ROHS3 compliance, representing an updated regulatory certification compared to the RoHS Compliant designation of the 927878-1. Both components maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating and EAR99 export classification.

Availability: The 925595-1 demonstrates substantially higher inventory availability (21,214 pieces) compared to the 927878-1 (852 pieces), with active product status ensuring continued supply chain access.

Packaging Consideration: The 925595-1 is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) packaging format, which is standard for high-volume production environments.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 925595-1 directly replace 927878-1 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components are socket contacts within the Junior Timer series with identical wire gauge ratings (13-17 AWG), crimp termination, and tin contact finish. Electrical and mechanical compatibility is maintained across all specified parameters.

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

A: Product status indicates manufacturing and supply availability. The 927878-1 is no longer in production, while 925595-1 is actively manufactured. This ensures long-term component availability and supply chain continuity for new production runs and field replacements.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the two parts?

A: Both components are RoHS compliant. The 925595-1 carries ROHS3 certification, which represents the current regulatory standard. Both maintain identical MSL 1 (Unlimited) ratings and EAR99 export classification.

Q: Does packaging format affect electrical performance?

A: No. Cut Tape (CT) packaging is a supply format that does not affect the electrical or mechanical characteristics of the socket contact. Packaging selection is determined by production volume and handling requirements.

Q: Are there any wire gauge or termination differences?

A: No. Both 927878-1 and 925595-1 are rated for 13-17 AWG wire gauges and utilize crimp termination methodology. Contact finish (tin) is identical across both components.

Q: What is the base product number relationship?

A: The 927878-1 has base product number 927878, while 925595-1 has base product number 925595. These represent different product lines within the Junior Timer series, though both deliver equivalent socket contact functionality.
