Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1731130022 directly replace the 1731130183 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. Both parts are 62-position D-Sub high-density plug housings within the 173113 product family. The 1731130022 maintains identical connector style, position count, and housing specifications required for male contact assembly compatibility.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: The 1731130183 is obsolete. The 1731130022 is the active equivalent within the Molex 173113 series, ensuring continued supply and manufacturing support.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 1731130183 packaging is not specified in available documentation. The 1731130022 is supplied in Bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement specifications.

Q: Do both parts meet current regulatory standards?

A: The 1731130022 is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. The 1731130183 regulatory status is not specified due to its obsolete classification. For new designs or regulated applications, the 1731130022 is the appropriate selection.

Q: Are contacts included with these housings?

A: No. Both the 1731130183 and 1731130022 are housings only. Male contacts must be sourced separately and assembled into the housing shell.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these parts?

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