TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 174933-6 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 174933-6 is a 12-position rectangular connector housing designed for receptacle applications in the Multi-Lock series. This component functions as a housing unit for tab-contact termination in free-hanging, in-line mounting configurations. The part is classified as Active product status with full ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1). Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are required for applications where the original part number is unavailable, discontinued, or when inventory constraints necessitate alternative sourcing from the same manufacturer series.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 174933-6 are identified based on strict parametric equivalence within the Multi-Lock series. The substitution logic is based on the following critical parameters that must remain constant:

  • Connector Type: Receptacle housing only
  • Contact Type: Tab termination interface
  • Number of Positions: 12-position configuration
  • Number of Rows: 2-row arrangement
  • Row Spacing: 0.232" (5.90mm) mechanical pitch
  • Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line) orientation
  • Contact Termination Method: Crimp interface
  • Series Family: Multi-Lock series compatibility
  • Compliance Standards: ROHS3 Compliant, MSL 1 rating

The substitute part 174933-1 maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters identical to the main part. The only variation is the housing color (White versus Gray), which does not affect electrical performance, mechanical fit, or functional compatibility within the connector system. Both parts share the same base product number (174933) and are sourced from the same manufacturer, ensuring design and manufacturing consistency.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 174933-6 and 174933-1 are Active product status components with full ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating, indicating unlimited moisture sensitivity tolerance. Selection between these parts is determined by application-specific color requirements and inventory availability.

The 174933-6 (Gray housing) is suitable for applications where color coding or visual identification requires gray housing designation. The 174933-1 (White housing) provides equivalent electrical and mechanical performance for applications where white housing is specified or preferred.

Current inventory status shows 883 pieces of 174933-1 available against 799 pieces of 174933-6. Both parts are sourced from TE Connectivity AMP Connectors and maintain identical compliance certifications (ROHS3, MSL 1, EAR99 ECCN classification, and HTSUS 8536.69.8000 tariff code).

Selection should be based on documented color requirements in the assembly specification. Where color is not a functional requirement, either part provides equivalent performance and reliability characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 174933-1 be used as a direct replacement for 174933-6?

A: Yes. The 174933-1 is a parametric equivalent substitute. All electrical, mechanical, and compliance parameters are identical. The only difference is housing color (White versus Gray). Substitution is valid where color is not a functional requirement.

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

A: Yes. Both parts feature 12 positions arranged in 2 rows with 0.232" (5.90mm) row spacing. The mechanical interface and contact layout are identical.

Q: Do both parts use the same contact termination method?

A: Yes. Both 174933-6 and 174933-1 use crimp contact termination. Contacts are not included with either housing and must be sourced separately.

Q: Are there any temperature or material differences between these parts?

A: The 174933-1 specification includes operating temperature range (-30°C ~ 105°C) and insulation material (Polybutylene Terephthalate - PBT). These parameters are not provided in the 174933-6 specification data. Both parts maintain identical RoHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating.

Q: What is the mounting configuration for these connectors?

A: Both parts are configured for Free Hanging (In-Line) mounting, suitable for applications requiring flexible positioning without fixed panel mounting.

Q: Are these parts available in the same packaging format?

A: Yes. Both 174933-6 and 174933-1 are supplied in Tray packaging.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to both parts?

A: Both parts are ROHS3 Compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating. ECCN classification is EAR99 and HTSUS tariff code is 8536.69.8000 for both parts.
