BJ302-01-A Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The BJ302-01-A is a Solid State Lighting (SSL) connector manufactured by GCT, designed as a 1-position receptacle with poke-in wire termination for board-to-cable/wire applications. This surface mount, right-angle connector operates at 50V with an 8A current rating and accommodates 18-24 AWG wire gauges. The product is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of functionally equivalent alternatives for ongoing design support and procurement.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the BJ302-01-A is determined by the following critical parameters:

Functional Equivalence Criteria:

• Connector type: 1-position receptacle with poke-in wire termination
• Mounting configuration: Surface mount, right-angle orientation
• Termination method: Solder connection to PCB
• Wire compatibility: 18-24 AWG wire gauge acceptance
• Electrical performance: Voltage and current ratings must meet or exceed the original specification

Compliance Requirements:

• RoHS3 compliance mandatory for environmental regulation adherence
• Operating temperature range must support -40°C minimum and 105°C maximum
• Contact material and finish specifications (copper alloy with tin plating) ensure electrical reliability and corrosion resistance

The Würth Elektronik 695401400222 qualifies as a functional substitute based on matching core parameters: 1-position poke-in wire receptacle, surface mount right-angle configuration, solder termination, 18-24 AWG wire gauge support, and RoHS3 compliance. The substitute maintains compatibility with the original application requirements while offering enhanced electrical ratings and alternative housing material composition.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Obsolescence Mitigation: The BJ302-01-A is classified as obsolete, requiring transition to an active product for continued supply chain viability. The Würth Elektronik 695401400222 provides functional continuity while maintaining ROHS3 compliance and environmental regulation adherence.

Electrical Performance: The substitute part exceeds the original voltage and current specifications (250V/9A versus 50V/8A), ensuring compatibility with the original application envelope. The operating temperature range of -35°C to 105°C covers the critical upper threshold of the original specification.

Compliance Certification: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity level), supporting deployment in standard manufacturing and storage environments without special handling requirements.

Material Composition: The substitute employs glass-filled polyphthalamide (PPA) housing in place of liquid crystal polymer (LCP), providing equivalent mechanical and thermal performance with established reliability in SSL connector applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Würth Elektronik 695401400222 directly replace the BJ302-01-A in existing designs?

A: Yes, the substitute part maintains functional equivalence across all critical parameters: 1-position poke-in wire receptacle, surface mount right-angle configuration, solder termination, 18-24 AWG wire gauge compatibility, and RoHS3 compliance. Physical form factor and PCB footprint compatibility must be verified against design documentation.

Q: What are the key differences between these parts?

A: The substitute offers enhanced electrical ratings (250V/9A versus 50V/8A) and operates at a minimum temperature of -35°C compared to -40°C for the original. Housing material differs (glass-filled PPA versus LCP), and the substitute includes a specified 4.00mm pitch with locking ramp fastening feature.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns with wire gauge or termination method?

A: No. Both parts accept 18-24 AWG wire gauges and employ identical solder termination to the PCB, ensuring compatibility with existing wire harness specifications and assembly processes.

Q: What is the significance of the obsolete product status?

A: Obsolete status indicates the BJ302-01-A is no longer manufactured or supported by GCT. The substitute part from Würth Elektronik is an active product with ongoing availability and supply chain support.

Q: Are both parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both the BJ302-01-A and 695401400222 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements for electronic component deployment.
