Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of rectangular connector housings is determined by strict equivalence of electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary substitution criteria for the 174952-5 are:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Connector Type: Plug
• Contact Type: Female Socket
• Number of Positions: 20
• Number of Rows: 2
• Row Spacing: 0.232" (5.90mm)
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Contact Termination: Crimp
• Fastening Type: Latch Holder
• Insulation Material: Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT)
• Operating Temperature Range: -30°C ~ 105°C
• Series: Multi-Lock

The substitute part 1-174952-1 meets all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The only difference is the housing color specification (White versus Blue). Color variation does not affect electrical performance, mechanical fit, or thermal characteristics when all other parameters remain identical.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 174952-5 and 1-174952-1 are Active product status components manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors within the Multi-Lock series. Both parts are RoHS Compliant, with the substitute part meeting ROHS3 specifications. The electrical and mechanical parameters are identical across all critical dimensions and performance characteristics.

Selection between these parts is determined by color specification requirements. The 174952-5 provides a Blue housing, while the 1-174952-1 provides a White housing. When color coding is not a functional requirement, either part satisfies the same electrical and mechanical interface specifications. Both parts carry MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity classification and operate across the identical temperature range of -30°C to 105°C.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1-174952-1 substitute for the 174952-5 in all applications?

A: The 1-174952-1 is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the 174952-5. Substitution is valid when color specification is not a functional design requirement. Both parts share identical connector type, position count, row configuration, row spacing, mounting type, termination method, fastening mechanism, insulation material, and operating temperature range.

Q: What is the difference between these two parts?

A: The primary difference is housing color. The 174952-5 features a Blue housing, while the 1-174952-1 features a White housing. All other electrical, mechanical, and thermal specifications are identical.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The 174952-5 is RoHS Compliant, and the 1-174952-1 is ROHS3 Compliant. Both meet regulatory requirements for hazardous substance restrictions.

Q: Do these connector housings include contacts?

A: No. Both the 174952-5 and 1-174952-1 are connector housings only. Contacts are not included and must be sourced separately.

Q: What is the row spacing specification?

A: Both parts have a row spacing of 0.232 inches (5.90 millimeters) in a 2-row configuration for 20 total positions.

Q: What termination method is used?

A: Both parts use crimp termination for contact attachment.

Q: What is the operating temperature range?

A: Both parts operate across a temperature range of -30°C to 105°C.

Q: What mounting configuration is specified?

A: Both parts are configured for Free Hanging (In-Line) mounting type.
