TE Connectivity 174936-5 Rectangular Connector Housing Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 174936-5 is a 20-position receptacle housing for rectangular connectors in the Multi-Lock series. This component is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of equivalent substitute parts for ongoing design and maintenance applications. The housing accommodates tab-type contacts with crimp termination and features a blue color designation. As an obsolete product, sourcing alternatives from active product lines ensures design continuity and supply chain reliability.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 174936-5 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Series: Multi-Lock
• Connector Type: Receptacle
• Contact Type: Tab
• Number of Positions: 20
• Number of Rows: 2
• Row Spacing: 0.232" (5.90mm)
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Contact Termination: Crimp

The substitute part 174936-1 maintains identical specifications across all mandatory parameters. The primary difference is color designation (white versus blue) and product status (active versus obsolete). Color variation does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility when the connector interface geometry and contact configuration remain unchanged.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity 174936-1 serves as the direct functional equivalent to the obsolete 174936-5. Both components share identical mechanical and electrical interface specifications within the Multi-Lock series. The 174936-1 is classified as an active product with current manufacturing support and improved compliance status (ROHS3 Compliant versus RoHS Compliant).

Selection of the 174936-1 is appropriate for new designs and replacement applications where the blue color specification of the original 174936-5 is not a functional requirement. The white color designation of the 174936-1 does not affect connector performance, mating characteristics, or electrical properties.

Both parts maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity classification and are suitable for equivalent environmental conditions. The 174936-1 provides documented operating temperature range (-30°C ~ 105°C) and specified insulation material (PBT), supporting design verification and compliance documentation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 174936-1 directly replace the 174936-5 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. The 174936-1 maintains identical contact position geometry, row spacing, mounting configuration, and crimp termination specifications. Mechanical and electrical compatibility is preserved.

Q: Does the color difference between blue (174936-5) and white (174936-1) affect performance?

A: No. Color is a visual identifier and does not affect electrical properties, contact interface geometry, or mechanical fit. Selection should be based on application requirements for color coding or identification.

Q: What is the significance of the product status change from Obsolete to Active?

A: Active product status indicates current manufacturing availability, ongoing supply chain support, and compliance with current regulatory standards. The 174936-1 is recommended for new designs and long-term production applications.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 174936-5 packaging is not specified in available documentation. The 174936-1 is supplied in bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with procurement specifications.

Q: Do both parts require separate contact components?

A: Yes. Both the 174936-5 and 174936-1 are housings only. Contacts are not included and must be sourced separately according to application requirements.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to the 174936-1?

A: The 174936-1 is ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected, and classified under ECCN EAR99 with HTSUS code 8536.69.8000.
