AKSPLT-Z-RED Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AKSPLT-Z-RED is a 2-position (1 x 2) shunt connector manufactured by Assmann WSW Components, designed for 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch applications with tin contact finish and red housing. This part is classified as obsolete, making identification of active equivalent and substitute parts essential for ongoing design support and procurement continuity. Substitute parts must maintain compatibility across critical electrical and mechanical parameters including position count, pitch spacing, height, contact finish type, and current rating to ensure proper function in existing circuit designs.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the AKSPLT-Z-RED are identified based on strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Position Configuration: 2 (1 x 2) position requirement
• Pitch Spacing: 0.100" (2.54mm) standard
• Connector Height: 0.531" (14.60mm)
• Connector Type: Open Top, Grip configuration
• Gender: Female Sockets
• Current Rating: 3A minimum

Two substitute parts meet these criteria:

1. AKSPLTZ RED (Assmann WSW Components) — Direct manufacturer equivalent with active product status, identical specifications except packaging format change from individual to bulk.

2. NPC02SXON-RC (Sullins Connector Solutions) — Functionally equivalent across all mechanical and electrical parameters. Primary difference is contact finish (gold flash vs. tin) and housing material (polyamide vs. polybutylene terephthalate), both acceptable for 0.100" pitch shunt applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

AKSPLTZ RED is the primary substitute for AKSPLT-Z-RED. Both parts are manufactured by Assmann WSW Components with identical mechanical and electrical specifications. AKSPLTZ RED carries active product status and maintains full ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected certification. The transition from individual packaging to bulk packaging does not affect functional compatibility. This part is recommended for direct replacement in all applications previously using AKSPLT-Z-RED.

NPC02SXON-RC serves as a secondary alternative when AKSPLTZ RED is unavailable. Manufactured by Sullins Connector Solutions, this part maintains all critical mechanical parameters (position count, pitch, height, connector type, and gender) and electrical rating (3A per contact). The contact finish differs (gold flash vs. tin), and housing material differs (polyamide vs. polybutylene terephthalate). Both materials meet UL flammability standards appropriate for connector applications. NPC02SXON-RC is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. This part is suitable for applications where contact finish material compatibility with mating components is not a constraint.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can AKSPLTZ RED be used as a direct replacement for AKSPLT-Z-RED?

A: Yes. AKSPLTZ RED is manufactured by the same company (Assmann WSW Components) and maintains identical specifications for position count, pitch, height, connector type, gender, and contact finish. The only difference is packaging format (bulk vs. individual). AKSPLTZ RED is the recommended primary substitute.

Q: What is the key difference between AKSPLTZ RED and NPC02SXON-RC?

A: Both parts share identical mechanical dimensions and electrical ratings. The primary differences are: (1) contact finish — AKSPLTZ RED uses tin while NPC02SXON-RC uses gold flash; (2) housing material — AKSPLTZ RED uses polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) while NPC02SXON-RC uses polyamide (PA66). Both materials are suitable for standard connector applications.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both AKSPLTZ RED and NPC02SXON-RC are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.

Q: Does contact finish affect compatibility?

A: Contact finish affects electrical properties such as contact resistance and corrosion resistance. Tin finish (AKSPLTZ RED) and gold flash finish (NPC02SXON-RC) are both standard for 0.100" pitch shunt connectors. Selection should be based on mating component specifications and application environment requirements.

Q: What is the current rating for these parts?

A: Both substitute parts are rated for 3A (AKSPLTZ RED) or 3A per contact (NPC02SXON-RC), meeting standard requirements for 0.100" pitch shunt connector applications.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in existing designs?

A: AKSPLTZ RED is a direct interchange for AKSPLT-Z-RED. NPC02SXON-RC is mechanically and electrically compatible but differs in contact finish and housing material; compatibility depends on application-specific requirements for these material properties.
