P25E-034S-TG Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The P25E-034S-TG is a 34-position rectangular receptacle connector manufactured by 3M, designed for IDC (Insulation Displacement Contact) termination with ribbon cable at 30 AWG wire gauge. This connector features gold-plated contacts and is configured as a free-hanging, in-line component with latch lock/eject hook fastening. The part is currently classified as obsolete, making identification of compatible substitutes essential for ongoing system support and component procurement.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the P25E-034S-TG is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Receptacle) and contact type (Female Socket)
• Position count (34) and pitch spacing (0.050"/1.27mm)
• Row configuration (2 rows)
• Mounting method (Free Hanging, In-Line)
• Fastening mechanism (Latch Lock/Eject Hooks)
• Termination method (IDC) and wire gauge (30 AWG)
• Contact finish material (Gold)
• Feed-through capability

The substitute P25E-034S-EA maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all these parameters, ensuring direct functional compatibility within the P25E series.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The P25E-034S-EA serves as the direct functional equivalent to the obsolete P25E-034S-TG. Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, ensuring pin-for-pin compatibility and interchangeability within existing designs.

The primary distinction between these parts is product lifecycle status and regulatory compliance. The P25E-034S-TG is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant, while the P25E-034S-EA is active and RoHS Compliant. For new designs or systems requiring regulatory compliance with current environmental standards, the P25E-034S-EA is the appropriate selection. For legacy system maintenance where RoHS compliance is not a requirement, either part provides equivalent performance.

Inventory availability favors the substitute: P25E-034S-EA maintains 860 units in stock compared to 986 units of the obsolete variant, with the active status ensuring continued procurement viability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are P25E-034S-TG and P25E-034S-EA electrically and mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both components are 34-position receptacle connectors with identical pitch (0.050"/1.27mm), row configuration (2 rows), mounting type (free hanging, in-line), fastening mechanism (latch lock/eject hooks), termination method (IDC), wire gauge (30 AWG), and contact finish (gold). They are direct substitutes.

Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers?

A: The primary differences are product status and compliance. P25E-034S-TG is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. P25E-034S-EA is active and RoHS Compliant. Contact finish thickness differs: P25E-034S-TG specifies 10.0µin (0.25µm), while P25E-034S-EA specifies flash plating. Packaging for P25E-034S-EA is bulk.

Q: Can I use P25E-034S-EA as a replacement for P25E-034S-TG in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. The substitute maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters required for functional compatibility. Existing ribbon cable assemblies and mating connectors will interface identically.

Q: Why should I transition from P25E-034S-TG to P25E-034S-EA?

A: The original part is obsolete, limiting future procurement options. The substitute is active with confirmed inventory availability and meets current RoHS compliance requirements, ensuring long-term supply chain viability and regulatory alignment.

Q: Are there packaging considerations when ordering P25E-034S-EA?

A: P25E-034S-EA is supplied in bulk packaging. Verify bulk quantity requirements align with your procurement and storage specifications.
