TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 1746875-2 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 1746875-2 is an 8-position rectangular connector housing designed for plug applications with a 0.087" (2.20mm) pitch. This connector features a black polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) insulation material and employs a locking ramp fastening mechanism for secure connections. The part is classified as Active product status and is RoHS Compliant with MSL Level 1 (Unlimited moisture sensitivity). Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are maintained across alternative configurations, particularly when color variants or compliance certifications differ while preserving core functional specifications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for rectangular connector housings is determined by strict equivalence across electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary substitution criteria for the 1746875-2 include: connector type (Plug), contact type (Female Socket), number of positions (8), pitch specification (0.087" / 2.20mm), number of rows (1), mounting type (Free Hanging In-Line), fastening type (Locking Ramp), insulation material (PBT), operating temperature range (-30°C ~ 105°C), and series designation (0.64). The substitute part 1746875-1 maintains complete equivalence across all these parameters. Variations in color (Black versus Natural) and RoHS certification status (RoHS Compliant versus ROHS3 Compliant) do not affect functional interchangeability when these core parameters remain identical. Both parts are manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors and share the same base product number (1746875), confirming their substitution relationship.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 1746875-2 and 1746875-1 are Active product status components manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors and are suitable for direct substitution based on electrical and mechanical equivalence. The 1746875-2 (Black) carries RoHS Compliant certification, while the 1746875-1 (Natural) carries ROHS3 Compliant certification. Both parts maintain MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity classification and identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.8000) designations. Selection between these parts should be based on color requirement and applicable regulatory compliance framework. The 1746875-1 offers higher inventory availability (3229 Pcs) compared to the 1746875-2 (755 Pcs), which may influence procurement decisions for high-volume applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1746875-1 (Natural) be used as a direct replacement for the 1746875-2 (Black)?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications including connector type, contact type, 8-position configuration, 0.087" (2.20mm) pitch, mounting type, fastening mechanism, insulation material, and operating temperature range. The color difference does not affect functional interchangeability.

Q: What is the significance of the RoHS Compliant versus ROHS3 Compliant designation?

A: Both designations indicate compliance with Restriction of Hazardous Substances regulations. RoHS Compliant refers to the original RoHS Directive, while ROHS3 Compliant refers to the updated RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU. Both certifications confirm the absence of restricted hazardous substances in the component composition.

Q: Are contacts included with these connector housings?

A: No. Both the 1746875-2 and 1746875-1 are connector housings only. Contacts must be procured separately and are not included with these parts.

Q: What does MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) mean for moisture sensitivity?

A: MSL Level 1 indicates the lowest moisture sensitivity classification. Components with this rating have unlimited shelf life and do not require special moisture control measures during storage or handling.

Q: Can these parts be used in applications requiring REACH compliance?

A: The 1746875-2 lists REACH Status as Vendor Undefined, while the 1746875-1 lists REACH Status as REACH Unaffected. Specific REACH compliance requirements should be confirmed with the manufacturer or supplier based on your application's regulatory requirements.

Q: What is the base product number relationship between these parts?

A: Both the 1746875-2 and 1746875-1 share the base product number 1746875, indicating they are variants of the same core product family with identical functional specifications.
