TE Connectivity 174910-2 Rectangular Connector Plug Housing – Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 174910-2 is a 20-position rectangular connector plug housing from the Multi-Lock series, designed for crimp contact termination in free-hanging inline applications. This connector housing accommodates female socket contacts with a 2.50mm pitch configuration across two rows. The part is currently active in production and RoHS compliant, making it suitable for applications requiring standard rectangular connector interfaces with established reliability standards.

Identification of equivalent and substitute parts becomes necessary when managing component availability, optimizing inventory levels, or addressing supply chain constraints while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility within system designs.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TE Connectivity 174910-2 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility Parameters:

• Contact type (Female Socket)
• Number of positions (20)
• Pitch specification (0.098" / 2.50mm)
• Row configuration (2 rows with 0.205" / 5.20mm spacing)

Mechanical Compatibility Parameters:

• Connector type (Plug)
• Mounting configuration (Free Hanging In-Line)
• Contact termination method (Crimp)
• Fastening mechanism (Latch Holder)

Environmental & Material Parameters:

• Insulation material (Polybutylene Terephthalate)
• Operating temperature range (-30°C to 105°C)
• Moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1)

Regulatory Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS compliance status
• ECCN classification (EAR99)
• HTSUS code (8536.69.8000)

Substitute parts must match all parameters listed above. Variations in any single parameter disqualify a part from direct substitution without design review and validation.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

174910-2 Primary Selection Criteria:

• Current inventory status: 754 pieces in stock
• RoHS Compliant certification
• Active product status with established supply chain
• Suitable for applications with standard RoHS requirements

174047-2 Substitute Selection Criteria:

• Higher inventory availability: 4400 pieces in stock
• ROHS3 Compliant certification (enhanced RoHS standard)
• Active product status
• REACH Unaffected status provides additional regulatory clarity
• Functionally and mechanically equivalent across all critical parameters

Both parts satisfy identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on inventory availability, supply chain lead times, and specific regulatory documentation requirements for the end application. The 174047-2 substitute provides enhanced regulatory compliance documentation through ROHS3 certification and explicit REACH status declaration.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 174047-2 be used as a direct replacement for 174910-2 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent across all critical parameters including connector type, contact configuration, pitch, row spacing, termination method, and operating temperature range. No design modifications are required for substitution.

Q: What is the difference between RoHS Compliant and ROHS3 Compliant?

A: ROHS3 represents the third iteration of RoHS regulations with updated substance restrictions. Both certifications indicate compliance with hazardous substance limitations. ROHS3 Compliant status on 174047-2 reflects compliance with the most current regulatory requirements.

Q: Are the contact positions and pitch identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both parts feature 20 positions arranged in 2 rows with 0.098" (2.50mm) pitch and 0.205" (5.20mm) row spacing. Mating interfaces are identical.

Q: What does "Contacts Not Included" mean?

A: Both connector housings are supplied without pre-installed contacts. Crimp contacts must be sourced separately and installed according to TE Connectivity specifications for the Multi-Lock series.

Q: Can these connectors be used in the same PCB assembly without modification?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical mounting configurations (Free Hanging In-Line) and fastening mechanisms (Latch Holder). PCB footprints and assembly procedures remain unchanged.

Q: What is the significance of MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating?

A: MSL 1 indicates the lowest moisture sensitivity level. These connectors have unlimited shelf life under standard storage conditions and do not require special moisture-controlled storage or baking procedures prior to assembly.

Q: Are there any temperature or environmental limitations for these connectors?

A: Both parts operate within the range of -30°C to 105°C. Applications requiring operation outside this range require alternative connector selection.

Q: What is the difference in inventory availability between these parts?

A: 174910-2 has 754 pieces in stock, while 174047-2 has 4400 pieces available. Higher inventory on 174047-2 may provide shorter lead times for large-volume orders.
