Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 626057-1

The 626057-1 is the direct functional equivalent to the obsolete 170800-3. Selection of this substitute is based on the following engineering criteria:

Electrical and Mechanical Compatibility: All critical parameters match the original specification, including terminal size, position count, gender, terminal type, mounting configuration, and stacking direction. The component maintains full compatibility with 0.110" (2.79mm) Quick Connect systems.

Product Status Advantage: The 626057-1 holds Active product status, ensuring long-term availability and continued manufacturer support, whereas the 170800-3 is classified as Obsolete.

Compliance Enhancement: The substitute part carries ROHS3 compliance certification, providing regulatory advantage for applications subject to Restriction of Hazardous Substances requirements.

Material Equivalence: The polyamide PA66/Nylon 6/6 material specification of the 626057-1 is functionally equivalent to the nylon material of the original part, maintaining identical performance characteristics for Quick Connect, Disconnect applications.

Color Variation: The black color of the 626057-1 differs from the natural color of the 170800-3. This variation is allowable and does not affect electrical or mechanical function. Color selection should be evaluated based on application-specific requirements.

Packaging Availability: The 626057-1 is available in Bulk packaging format, supporting production requirements with 779 pieces in current inventory.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 626057-1 directly replace the 170800-3 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 626057-1 maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications for all critical parameters including terminal size (0.110"), position count (4), gender (Male, Tab), terminal type (Quick Connect, Disconnect), and mounting configuration (Free Hanging, In-Line). Direct substitution is supported without design modification.

Q: What is the difference between the Natural color of the 170800-3 and the Black color of the 626057-1?

A: Color is a cosmetic variation that does not affect electrical or mechanical performance. Both parts function identically in Quick Connect, Disconnect applications. Color selection should be based on application-specific requirements such as visual identification, environmental conditions, or assembly standards.

Q: Are the material specifications of both parts equivalent?

A: Yes. The nylon material of the 170800-3 and the polyamide PA66/Nylon 6/6 material of the 626057-1 are functionally equivalent. Both materials provide the same mechanical strength, thermal stability, and performance characteristics required for Fastin-Faston series connectors.

Q: Why is the 170800-3 classified as Obsolete?

A: The 170800-3 is listed as Obsolete by the manufacturer. The 626057-1 is the Active equivalent part that provides continued availability and manufacturer support.

Q: Does the 626057-1 meet regulatory compliance requirements?

A: The 626057-1 carries ROHS3 compliance certification. The 170800-3 is marked as "Not applicable" for RoHS status. Applications requiring RoHS compliance should use the 626057-1.

Q: Are both parts compatible with 0.110" (2.79mm) Quick Connect systems?

A: Yes. Both the 170800-3 and 626057-1 are designed for use with 0.110" (2.79mm) Quick Connects and maintain identical stacking direction (Top to Bottom and Side to Side) and mounting type (Free Hanging, In-Line).

Q: What is the Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) for both parts?

A: Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage, handling, or use.

Q: Are contacts included with these connector housings?

A: No. Both the 170800-3 and 626057-1 are connector housings only. Contacts are not included and must be sourced separately.
