Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 321035 from TE Connectivity AMP Connectors serves as the primary equivalent for the obsolete PV22-4F-C. Selection of this substitute is supported by:

Product Status: The 321035 maintains active product status with 30,418 pieces in stock, ensuring supply chain availability compared to the obsolete PV22-4F-C with limited inventory of 809 pieces.

Compliance: The 321035 carries RoHS Compliant certification with MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), providing enhanced environmental and moisture handling specifications relative to the PV22-4F-C which carries "Not applicable" status for both parameters.

Functional Compatibility: Both parts share identical wire gauge (22-26 AWG), stud configuration (4 Stud), termination method (Crimp), contact materials (Copper with Tin finish), and mounting classification (Free Hanging In-Line). The dimensional variance of 0.043" in overall length and 0.003" in width represents acceptable tolerance for standard spade terminal applications.

Regulatory Alignment: Both parts carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.90.4000) classifications, maintaining consistent export and tariff treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What makes the 321035 a suitable substitute for the PV22-4F-C?

A: The 321035 matches all critical electrical and mechanical parameters: 22-26 AWG wire gauge, 4 stud configuration, crimp termination, insulated yellow construction, copper contacts with tin finish, and free-hanging in-line mounting. The dimensional differences (0.043" length variance, 0.003" width variance) fall within acceptable tolerances for standard spade terminal applications.

Q: Are there compatibility concerns with the dimensional differences between these parts?

A: The dimensional variations are minor. The 321035 measures 0.627" overall length versus 0.670" for the PV22-4F-C, and 0.203" width versus 0.200". The tongue inside opening dimensions are nearly identical (0.119" versus 0.120"), ensuring compatible stud engagement. These tolerances are standard within the spade terminal category.

Q: What is the significance of the insulation material difference?

A: The PV22-4F-C uses vinyl insulation while the 321035 uses polyamide (PA) nylon. Both provide electrical insulation for the 22-26 AWG wire range. The polyamide material in the 321035 offers enhanced thermal and chemical resistance properties typical of modern terminal designs.

Q: Does the RoHS compliance status affect substitution?

A: The 321035 carries RoHS Compliant certification while the PV22-4F-C status is "Not applicable." For applications subject to RoHS requirements, the 321035 provides regulatory compliance. For applications without RoHS mandates, both parts function equivalently.

Q: What is the difference between brazed seam and serrated termination features?

A: The PV22-4F-C employs brazed seam construction for the wire termination interface, while the 321035 uses serrated termination. Both methods provide secure crimp connections for 22-26 AWG wire. Serrated termination offers improved wire grip characteristics in modern designs.

Q: Is packaging a consideration when selecting between these parts?

A: The PV22-4F-C is listed with unspecified packaging, while the 321035 is supplied in bulk packaging. Bulk packaging is standard for high-volume applications and does not affect electrical or mechanical performance of individual terminals.

Q: Can the 321035 be used in existing designs specified for the PV22-4F-C?

A: Yes. The 321035 maintains functional equivalence across all critical parameters. The minor dimensional differences and improved material specifications make it a direct substitute for new production and replacement applications.
