Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Eaton A219405RC is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Matching Criteria:

• Terminal block type: Barrier Block
• Number of circuits: 5
• Pitch: 0.375" (9.53mm)
• Number of rows: 1
• Top termination: Screws
• Bottom termination: Quick Connect (0.250"), Insulated
• Barrier type: 2 Wall (Dual)
• Mounting type: Chassis, Panel
• Material flammability rating: UL94 V-0
• Wire gauge compatibility: 12-22 AWG

Secondary Compatibility Parameters:

• Voltage rating: 300V (minimum requirement)
• Current rating: 20A or higher (A219405RC rated 30A)
• Operating temperature range: -40°C to 105°C (minimum)
• Terminal screw material: Steel
• Insulation material: Thermoplastic

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors part number 2-1546700-3 satisfies all primary matching criteria and maintains compatibility across secondary parameters, with the exception of current rating (20A versus 30A).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors part number 2-1546700-3 is an active-status substitute for the obsolete Eaton A219405RC barrier block connector. Both components share identical mechanical and electrical specifications across all primary matching criteria: 5-circuit configuration, 0.375" pitch, dual-wall barrier construction, screw top termination, and quick-connect bottom termination.

Compliance and Certification Alignment: Both parts carry UL94 V-0 flammability rating and are classified under identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.90.4000) codes, ensuring regulatory and trade compliance equivalence.

Current Rating Consideration: The TE Connectivity substitute is rated for 20A continuous current, compared to the Eaton original's 30A rating. Applications operating at or below 20A continuous current are fully compatible. Applications requiring sustained current above 20A require evaluation against actual circuit load specifications.

Temperature Operating Range: The TE Connectivity part specifies a maximum operating temperature of 105°C, matching the upper limit of the Eaton original. Applications requiring the full -40°C lower temperature specification of the Eaton part should confirm TE Connectivity's lower temperature capability through direct manufacturer consultation.

Supply and Availability: The TE Connectivity 2-1546700-3 is active-status inventory, providing supply continuity for the obsolete Eaton A219405RC.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 2-1546700-3 directly replace the Eaton A219405RC in existing designs?

A: Direct mechanical and electrical replacement is possible for applications operating at 20A or below. The identical pitch (0.375"), circuit count (5), termination types (screw top, quick-connect bottom), barrier construction (dual-wall), and flammability rating (UL94 V-0) ensure form-fit-function compatibility. Current rating difference (20A versus 30A) must be evaluated against actual circuit requirements.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two barrier block connectors?

A: The primary difference is current rating: Eaton A219405RC is rated 30A, while TE Connectivity 2-1546700-3 is rated 20A. All other electrical and mechanical parameters are equivalent.

Q: Are both connectors suitable for panel and chassis mounting?

A: Yes. Both the Eaton A219405RC and TE Connectivity 2-1546700-3 support chassis and panel mounting configurations.

Q: Do both connectors meet the same flammability standards?

A: Yes. Both components carry UL94 V-0 flammability rating, meeting identical safety standards.

Q: What wire gauges are compatible with the TE Connectivity substitute?

A: The TE Connectivity 2-1546700-3 accepts 12-22 AWG wire gauges, identical to the Eaton original.

Q: Is the TE Connectivity part RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The TE Connectivity 2-1546700-3 is RoHS compliant. RoHS status for the Eaton A219405RC is not specified in available documentation.

Q: Can I use the TE Connectivity part in applications requiring the full -40°C to 105°C temperature range?

A: The TE Connectivity 2-1546700-3 specifies 105°C maximum operating temperature. The lower temperature limit is not specified in available data. Confirm lower temperature capability directly with TE Connectivity for applications requiring -40°C operation.
