TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 172498-1 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 172498-1 is a 13-position rectangular connector plug housing from the MIC (Multi-Interlock) series. This connector is designed for free-hanging, in-line applications with crimp contact termination and latch lock fastening. The part is currently active in production with 1134 units in stock. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are required but alternative configurations—such as color variants—are acceptable for the application.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the TE Connectivity 172498-1 are identified based on strict equivalence of the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Series: Plug housing from the MIC (Multi-Interlock) series
• Electrical Configuration: 13 positions, 2 rows, 0.236" (6.00mm) row spacing
• Mechanical Interface: Free-hanging, in-line mounting with crimp termination and latch lock fastening
• Environmental Compliance: ROHS3 compliance, REACH unaffected status, MSL 1 rating
• Operating Conditions: -30°C ~ 105°C temperature range

The substitute part 171358-1 maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The only variation is the color specification (Black versus Natural), which does not affect functional compatibility or electrical performance. Both parts are manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors and are active products with current inventory availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the TE Connectivity 172498-1 and 171358-1 are active products with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component applications. The parts are functionally interchangeable based on electrical and mechanical specifications.

Primary Part Selection (172498-1): Use when natural color housing is specified or required for application identification or visual assembly requirements.

Substitute Part Selection (171358-1): Use when black color housing is acceptable or preferred. This substitute offers higher current inventory availability (2059 units versus 1134 units), which may provide supply chain advantages.

The insulation material variation between Polyamide (PA) and Polyamide (PA66/Nylon 6/6) does not affect functional compatibility, as both materials meet the same operating temperature range and environmental compliance standards.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 172498-1 and 171358-1 mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts are 13-position plug housings from the MIC series with identical row spacing (0.236" / 6.00mm), mounting type (free-hanging, in-line), and fastening mechanism (latch lock). They interface identically with mating connectors and contact sets.

Q: What is the difference between these two parts?

A: The primary difference is color: 172498-1 is natural (undyed), while 171358-1 is black. The insulation material specification also differs slightly (PA versus PA66), but both materials provide equivalent performance across the operating temperature range of -30°C to 105°C.

Q: Can I use 171358-1 as a direct replacement for 172498-1?

A: Yes, provided that color specification is not a critical requirement for your application. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical parameters, RoHS3 compliance, and REACH status.

Q: Are both parts currently available?

A: Yes. The 172498-1 has 1134 units in stock, and the 171358-1 has 2059 units in stock. Both are active products manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors.

Q: Do these connectors include contacts?

A: No. Both the 172498-1 and 171358-1 are plug housings only. Contacts must be sourced separately and installed via crimp termination.

Q: What is the row spacing specification?

A: Both parts have a row spacing of 0.236 inches (6.00 millimeters), which determines compatibility with mating receptacle housings and contact arrangements.

Q: Are there any temperature or environmental limitations?

A: Both parts operate within the range of -30°C to 105°C. Both are MSL 1 rated (unlimited moisture sensitivity level) and are ROHS3 compliant with REACH unaffected status.
