Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of rectangular connector housings is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Equivalence Parameters:

• Connector Type (Receptacle)
• Contact Type (Female Socket)
• Number of Positions (2)
• Pitch (0.197" / 5.00mm)
• Number of Rows (1)
• Mounting Type (Free Hanging, In-Line)
• Contact Termination (Crimp)
• Fastening Type (Friction Lock)
• Insulation Material (Polyamide PA66, Nylon 6/6)
• Operating Temperature Range (-40°C ~ 105°C)

Variable Parameters Permitting Substitution:

• Color (Natural vs. Turquoise)
• RoHS Certification Status (RoHS Compliant vs. ROHS3 Compliant)

The substitute part 4-928344-2 maintains full electrical and mechanical compatibility with the main part 928344-2 while offering an alternative color designation and enhanced compliance certification. Both parts share the same base product number (928344) and are manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both 928344-2 and 4-928344-2 are Active product status components manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors and are suitable for current production applications. The selection between these parts should be based on the following criteria:

928344-2 (Natural Color): Select this part when the application requires standard RoHS Compliance certification and natural-colored housing is acceptable or preferred for visual identification purposes.

4-928344-2 (Turquoise Color): Select this part when the application requires ROHS3 Compliance certification or when turquoise color coding is specified for circuit board assembly, wiring harness identification, or system-level color-coding schemes.

Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including operating temperature range, contact termination method, fastening mechanism, and insulation material composition. The choice between these substitutes does not impact functional performance or compatibility with mating connector components.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 4-928344-2 be used as a direct replacement for 928344-2?

A: Yes. The 4-928344-2 is a parametric equivalent substitute for 928344-2. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including connector type, contact configuration, pitch, mounting method, and operating temperature range. The primary differences are housing color (Turquoise vs. Natural) and RoHS certification status (ROHS3 vs. RoHS Compliant).

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

A: The color difference (Natural vs. Turquoise) is a visual identification feature and does not affect electrical or mechanical performance. Color selection is typically driven by application requirements, assembly documentation, or system-level color-coding standards. Both colors are manufactured from the same insulation material (Polyamide PA66, Nylon 6/6).

Q: Are there any compatibility issues when substituting between these parts?

A: No compatibility issues exist. Both parts are receptacle housings with identical contact configurations, pitch spacing, and mounting characteristics. They are fully interchangeable in applications where the connector type, number of positions, and pitch specifications match the design requirements.

Q: What does ROHS3 Compliance mean compared to RoHS Compliant?

A: ROHS3 Compliance represents an updated or enhanced RoHS certification status. Both designations indicate compliance with Restriction of Hazardous Substances regulations. The specific certification level may reflect different regulatory timelines or compliance frameworks. Both parts meet hazardous substance restrictions for their respective certifications.

Q: Do these parts include contacts?

A: No. Both 928344-2 and 4-928344-2 are receptacle housings only. Contacts are not included and must be procured separately. The housing is designed for crimp-type female socket contacts with 5.00mm pitch spacing.

Q: What is the Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) significance?

A: Both parts have MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating unlimited shelf life and no moisture sensitivity concerns. These components do not require special moisture-controlled storage or handling procedures and can be stored under standard environmental conditions.

Q: Can these parts be used in high-temperature applications?

A: Yes. Both parts are rated for operating temperatures from -40°C to 105°C. This temperature range accommodates most industrial and commercial applications. Verify that the complete connector assembly, including mating plugs and contacts, also supports this temperature range for the specific application.
