Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TE Connectivity 1-179554-3 rectangular connector plug housing is determined by strict parametric equivalence across all critical mechanical and electrical specifications. The substitute part 3-179554-3 qualifies as a direct parametric equivalent based on the following matching criteria:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Identical connector type (Plug) and contact type (Male Pin)
• Identical number of positions (6) and pitch specification (0.200" / 5.08mm)
• Identical row configuration (2 rows with 0.300" / 7.62mm row spacing)
• Identical mounting type (Free Hanging In-Line)
• Identical contact termination method (Crimp)
• Identical insulation material composition (Thermoplastic, Polyester, Glass Filled)
• Identical operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C)
• Identical color specification (Black)
• Identical polarizing key feature
• Identical series designation (Dynamic D-3200)
• Identical RoHS compliance status
• Identical MSL rating (1 - Unlimited)

Both parts share the same base product number (179554), confirming their functional and dimensional equivalence. The substitute part maintains full compatibility with mating connectors, contact sets, and assembly procedures designed for the primary part number.

Selection between the two part numbers may be based on inventory availability, lead time requirements, or procurement channel preferences, as all technical and compliance parameters are identical.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can part number 3-179554-3 be used as a direct replacement for 1-179554-3 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Part number 3-179554-3 is a direct parametric equivalent to 1-179554-3. All mechanical dimensions, electrical specifications, contact configurations, and material properties are identical. No design changes or compatibility modifications are required.

Q: Are the mating connectors and contact sets interchangeable between these two part numbers?

A: Yes. Both part numbers belong to the same Dynamic D-3200 series with identical pitch (0.200" / 5.08mm), row spacing (0.300" / 7.62mm), and connector type specifications. All mating connectors, contact sets, and assembly components designed for one part number are fully compatible with the other.

Q: What is the difference between part numbers 1-179554-3 and 3-179554-3?

A: Both parts share the same base product number (179554) and are functionally identical. The difference in the prefix (1 versus 3) represents different manufacturing or distribution batches within TE Connectivity's product line. All technical specifications, performance characteristics, and compliance certifications are identical.

Q: Do both parts have the same RoHS compliance status?

A: Yes. Both 1-179554-3 and 3-179554-3 are RoHS Compliant and carry identical Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) ratings of 1 (Unlimited).

Q: Are there any temperature or environmental operating differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts operate across the identical temperature range of -55°C to 105°C and are constructed from the same insulation material (Thermoplastic, Polyester, Glass Filled). Environmental performance characteristics are identical.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in production assembly?

A: Yes. Both parts are actively manufactured and maintained in production status. They can be used interchangeably in production assembly without requiring design documentation updates, assembly procedure modifications, or compatibility testing.

Q: What is the polarizing key feature, and is it present on both parts?

A: The polarizing key is a mechanical feature that prevents incorrect mating of connectors. Both 1-179554-3 and 3-179554-3 include this polarizing key feature, ensuring proper connector alignment and preventing reversed connections.

Q: Are contacts included with these connector housings?

A: No. Both part numbers are connector housings only. Contacts are not included and must be ordered separately. The housings are designed for crimp-type contact termination.
