Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 170801-3 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Terminal Type: Quick Connect, Disconnect
• Gender: Female, Receptacle
• Terminal Size: 0.110" (2.79mm)
• Number of Positions: 4
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Stacking Direction: Top to Bottom and Side to Side
• Series: Fastin-Faston
• RoHS Compliance Status

The substitute part 626056-4 maintains full equivalence across all mandatory parameters. The primary difference is the housing color (Black versus Clear) and material composition (Polyamide PA46 Nylon 4/6 versus Acrylonitril Styrene), which do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility for quick connect/disconnect applications. The substitute part carries active product status with significantly higher inventory availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 626056-4 serves as the direct functional equivalent to the obsolete 170801-3. Both connectors maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications for 0.110" (2.79mm) quick connect/disconnect applications within the Fastin-Faston series. The 626056-4 is classified as an active product with substantially higher inventory availability (20,829 pieces versus 1,085 pieces), ensuring long-term supply chain reliability.

Both parts satisfy RoHS compliance requirements. The 626056-4 carries RoHS Compliant status while the 170801-3 carries ROHS3 Compliant status; both designations confirm compliance with applicable environmental regulations. The material and color differences between the parts do not impact electrical performance or mechanical compatibility for quick connect/disconnect terminal applications.

Selection of the 626056-4 is supported by active product status, superior inventory position, and full parameter equivalence across all critical connector specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 626056-4 directly replace the 170801-3 in existing applications?

A: Yes. Both connectors are functionally equivalent across all critical parameters: terminal type, gender, terminal size (0.110" / 2.79mm), number of positions (4), mounting type, and stacking direction. The housing color and material differences do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility for quick connect/disconnect applications.

Q: What is the significance of the color difference between Clear (170801-3) and Black (626056-4)?

A: Color is a cosmetic and identification characteristic. The Clear and Black housing options do not affect the electrical performance, mechanical fit, or functional operation of the connector within quick connect/disconnect circuits.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between the two parts?

A: Both parts are RoHS compliant. The 170801-3 carries ROHS3 Compliant designation while the 626056-4 carries RoHS Compliant designation. Both satisfy applicable environmental and regulatory requirements. Both parts maintain Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited).

Q: Why is the 626056-4 recommended over the 170801-3?

A: The 626056-4 is classified as an active product with 20,829 pieces in stock, compared to the obsolete 170801-3 with 1,085 pieces. Active product status ensures continued availability and support. The 626056-4 maintains full functional equivalence while providing superior supply chain continuity.

Q: Do these connectors include contacts?

A: No. Both the 170801-3 and 626056-4 are housing connectors only. Contacts are not included and must be sourced separately for 0.110" (2.79mm) quick connect applications.

Q: What is the packaging difference between these parts?

A: The 170801-3 packaging is not specified in available documentation. The 626056-4 is supplied in Bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement specifications.

Q: Are these connectors suitable for stacking applications?

A: Yes. Both connectors support stacking in Top to Bottom and Side to Side directions, enabling multi-position configurations within the Fastin-Faston series framework.
