TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 174952-6 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 174952-6 is a 20-position rectangular connector plug housing from the Multi-Lock series. This component functions as a plug housing for female socket contacts in a dual-row configuration, designed for free-hanging in-line applications with crimp termination and latch holder fastening. The part is Active in product status and RoHS Compliant. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are required but the original part number is unavailable or when alternative configurations better suit specific application requirements.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 174952-6 are identified based on strict equivalence of electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary substitution criterion is the maintenance of identical connector architecture: plug type, 20-position configuration, dual-row layout with 0.232" (5.90mm) row spacing, female socket contact type, crimp termination, and latch holder fastening. All substitute parts must operate within the same temperature range (-30°C ~ 105°C), utilize the same insulation material (PBT), and maintain MSL 1 classification.

The substitute part 1-174952-1 shares all critical electrical and mechanical parameters with the main part number 174952-6. The only variation between these parts is the housing color: 174952-6 features gray insulation, while 1-174952-1 features white insulation. This color difference does not affect electrical performance, mechanical compatibility, or thermal characteristics. Both parts belong to the Multi-Lock series and are manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 174952-6 and 1-174952-1 are Active products manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors and maintain full compliance with environmental regulations. The 174952-6 carries RoHS Compliance certification, while the 1-174952-1 carries ROHS3 Compliance certification. Both certifications indicate adherence to Restriction of Hazardous Substances directives.

Selection between these parts should be based on application-specific requirements regarding housing color. The gray housing of 174952-6 and white housing of 1-174952-1 are functionally equivalent in all electrical and mechanical aspects. When the original 174952-6 is unavailable, the 1-174952-1 provides direct functional substitution. Conversely, when white housing is required and 1-174952-1 is unavailable, the 174952-6 serves as a functional substitute with the distinction of gray coloration.

Both parts are supplied in Tray packaging and carry MSL 1 classification, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage and handling.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 1-174952-1 be used as a direct replacement for 174952-6?

A: Yes. The 1-174952-1 is electrically and mechanically equivalent to 174952-6. Both parts feature identical connector architecture, position count, row spacing, termination method, and operating specifications. The only difference is housing color: 174952-6 is gray, while 1-174952-1 is white. This color variation does not affect functional compatibility.

Q: What are the critical parameters that define substitution eligibility?

A: Substitution eligibility is determined by: connector type (Plug), contact type (Female Socket), position count (20), row configuration (2 rows), row spacing (0.232"/5.90mm), mounting type (Free Hanging In-Line), termination method (Crimp), fastening mechanism (Latch Holder), insulation material (PBT), and operating temperature range (-30°C ~ 105°C). All substitute parts must match these parameters exactly.

Q: Does the color difference between 174952-6 and 1-174952-1 affect electrical performance?

A: No. Housing color is a cosmetic attribute that does not influence electrical performance, signal integrity, thermal characteristics, or mechanical compatibility. Both gray and white housings are manufactured from the same PBT insulation material with identical electrical properties.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The 174952-6 is RoHS Compliant, and the 1-174952-1 is ROHS3 Compliant. Both certifications indicate compliance with hazardous substance restrictions. ROHS3 represents an updated compliance standard.

Q: What is the Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) for these parts?

A: Both 174952-6 and 1-174952-1 carry MSL 1 classification, which indicates Unlimited moisture sensitivity level. These parts do not require special moisture control during storage, handling, or assembly.

Q: Are contacts included with these connector housings?

A: No. Both 174952-6 and 1-174952-1 are supplied as housings only. Contacts are not included and must be sourced separately. The base product number for both parts is 174952.

Q: What is the packaging format for these parts?

A: Both parts are supplied in Tray packaging, suitable for automated assembly and component handling operations.
