Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the SPA-001T-P0.5 are qualified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional equivalence:

• Pin or Socket Configuration: Socket contact type
• Contact Termination Method: Crimp termination
• Wire Gauge Compatibility: 22-26 AWG
• Contact Finish: Tin or gold plating (both acceptable for electrical continuity)
• Product Status: Active manufacturing status
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliance and MSL rating

The identified substitutes maintain these core electrical and mechanical specifications while originating from different manufacturers within the rectangular connector category.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

HNC-2.5S-D-A(15) (Hirose Electric Co Ltd): This substitute maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the SPA-001T-P0.5, including tin contact finish, 22-26 AWG wire gauge, and crimp termination. Both parts carry MSL 1 rating and active product status. The Hirose part holds ROHS3 compliance, which exceeds the RoHS requirement. This substitute is suitable for direct replacement in applications where connector series interchangeability is acceptable.

87756-3 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors): This substitute matches the core electrical parameters (socket, crimp, 22-26 AWG) but features gold contact finish instead of tin. Gold plating provides enhanced corrosion resistance and contact reliability. The part maintains active status, RoHS compliance, and MSL 1 rating. Selection of this substitute should account for the contact finish difference and any application-specific requirements regarding contact material.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can HNC-2.5S-D-A(15) directly replace SPA-001T-P0.5? A: Yes. Both parts are socket contacts with crimp termination rated for 22-26 AWG wire, tin finish, and MSL 1. The primary difference is the manufacturer and series designation. Mechanical and electrical compatibility is maintained across these specifications.

Q: What is the significance of the gold finish on 87756-3? A: The 87756-3 features 30.0µin (0.76µm) gold plating on the contact surface. Gold provides superior corrosion resistance compared to tin finish. Selection depends on application environment and contact reliability requirements. Both finishes meet the electrical continuity requirements for 22-26 AWG crimp connections.

Q: Are all three parts RoHS compliant? A: Yes. SPA-001T-P0.5 and 87756-3 are RoHS Compliant. HNC-2.5S-D-A(15) is ROHS3 Compliant, which represents a more recent regulatory standard and is fully compatible with RoHS requirements.

Q: What does MSL 1 (Unlimited) mean for these connectors? A: MSL 1 indicates the lowest moisture sensitivity level, meaning these components have unlimited shelf life under normal storage conditions and do not require special moisture control during handling or assembly.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in the same connector housing? A: These are individual socket contact components. Interchangeability depends on the specific connector housing design and pin configuration. Verify housing compatibility with the connector series (PA, HNC, or AMPMODU Mod IV) before substitution.
