TE Connectivity 175111-8 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 175111-8 is a 26-position rectangular connector housing plug from the Multi-Lock series. This component functions as a plug housing for hybrid rectangular connectors and is designed for free-hanging, in-line mounting applications. The housing accepts female socket contacts via crimp termination and features a latch holder fastening mechanism.

The 175111-8 is an active product with full RoHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1). Substitute parts are identified to provide alternative sourcing options when the primary part number is unavailable or when specific application requirements necessitate alternative connector housing configurations within the same electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 175111-8 are qualified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence within the Multi-Lock connector series. The following parameters determine substitution eligibility:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Connector type (Plug)
• Number of positions (26)
• Number of rows (2)
• Row spacing (0.205" / 5.20mm)
• Contact type (Female Socket)
• Mounting type (Free Hanging, In-Line)
• Contact termination method (Crimp)
• Fastening type (Latch Holder)
• Series designation (Multi-Lock)
• Moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1)

The substitute part 174516-6 maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters. The primary difference is the housing color (Gray versus Orange), which does not affect electrical performance or mechanical compatibility. Both parts are manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors and carry equivalent regulatory compliance status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 175111-8 and 174516-6 are active products manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors and maintain equivalent regulatory compliance. The 175111-8 carries RoHS3 certification, while the 174516-6 carries RoHS compliance. Both parts are classified under ECCN EAR99 and share the same HTSUS commodity code.

Selection between these parts should be based on application-specific requirements:

175111-8 (Orange Housing): Select this part number when orange housing color is specified in the design documentation or when existing inventory standardization requires orange connectors.

174516-6 (Gray Housing): Select this part number when gray housing color is required or when the substitute provides superior inventory availability. The 174516-6 includes documented operating temperature range (-30°C ~ 105°C) and insulation material specification (PBT), providing additional technical clarity for thermal and environmental applications.

Both parts are suitable for direct substitution in applications where the 26-position, 2-row, Multi-Lock rectangular connector housing meets the electrical and mechanical requirements. The housing color difference does not impact electrical performance or mechanical interface compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 174516-6 be used as a direct replacement for the 175111-8?

A: Yes. The 174516-6 qualifies as a parametric equivalent substitute. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters: 26 positions, 2 rows, 0.205" row spacing, female socket contacts, crimp termination, and latch holder fastening. The primary difference is housing color (Gray versus Orange).

Q: What is the significance of the housing color difference?

A: Housing color is a visual identification feature and does not affect electrical performance or mechanical compatibility. Color selection is typically driven by design documentation requirements, manufacturing standards, or inventory management practices. Both orange and gray housings are functionally equivalent within the Multi-Lock series.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The 175111-8 is RoHS3 compliant, and the 174516-6 is RoHS compliant. Both parts meet regulatory requirements for hazardous substance restrictions and are suitable for applications requiring RoHS certification.

Q: What does MSL 1 (Unlimited) mean for these connectors?

A: Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 indicates the lowest moisture sensitivity classification. These connectors have unlimited shelf life and do not require special moisture-controlled storage conditions. Standard warehouse storage practices are sufficient.

Q: Are contacts included with these housing parts?

A: No. Both the 175111-8 and 174516-6 are housing-only components. Contacts must be sourced separately and installed via crimp termination. The housing accepts female socket contacts designed for the Multi-Lock series.

Q: What is the pitch specification for these connectors?

A: Pitch is not specified for these parts. The row spacing of 0.205" (5.20mm) defines the mechanical spacing between the two rows of contact positions.

Q: Can these housings be used for applications requiring specific operating temperature ranges?

A: The 174516-6 includes a documented operating temperature range of -30°C ~ 105°C. The 175111-8 does not include temperature specification in the provided data. For applications with strict temperature requirements, the 174516-6 provides explicit thermal performance documentation.
