Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The substitute part 172-050-183L001 is classified as a direct equivalent based on the following critical parameters that determine substitutability for D-Sub connector applications:

Electrical Compatibility Parameters:

• Connector type (Plug, Male Pins)
• Number of positions (50)
• Number of rows (3)
• Shell size (5, DD/D layout)
• Contact finish (Gold, Flash)
• Current rating (5A)
• Operating temperature range (-50°C to 125°C)

Mechanical Compatibility Parameters:

• Mounting type (Panel Mount, Through Hole)
• Termination method (Solder)
• Shell material and finish (Steel, Nickel Plated)
• Dielectric material (PBT)
• Flange feature (Housing/Shell, Unthreaded)

Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS3 Compliant status
• REACH Unaffected status

The primary distinction between the main part and substitute is packaging format: 172-050-182-001 uses standard packaging, while 172-050-183L001 is supplied in Tray packaging. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, making them functionally interchangeable in circuit design and assembly applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both 172-050-182-001 and 172-050-183L001 are active product status components manufactured by NorComp Inc. and are fully compliant with ROHS3 and REACH requirements. Selection between these parts should be based on the following criteria:

Select 172-050-182-001 when:

• Standard packaging format is acceptable for your supply chain
• Higher inventory availability (1106 units) is required for immediate procurement
• Your assembly process is optimized for standard packaging handling

Select 172-050-183L001 when:

• Tray packaging is required for automated assembly equipment compatibility
• Your procurement process specifies tray-packaged components
• Inventory of the primary part is depleted

Both parts deliver identical electrical performance, mechanical fit, and compliance certifications. The choice between them is determined by packaging requirements and inventory availability rather than functional capability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are 172-050-182-001 and 172-050-183L001 electrically identical?

A: Yes. Both parts are 50-position D-Sub plugs with identical electrical specifications including 5A current rating, gold flash contact finish, and -50°C to 125°C operating temperature range. They are functionally interchangeable in circuit applications.

Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers?

A: The primary difference is packaging format. 172-050-182-001 uses standard packaging, while 172-050-183L001 is supplied in Tray packaging. All electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Can I use 172-050-183L001 as a direct replacement for 172-050-182-001 on a PCB assembly?
