TE Connectivity 175965-1 Rectangular Connector Plug Housing Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 175965-1 is a 12-position rectangular connector plug housing from the Multi-Lock series. This component is a white polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) housing designed for crimp-terminated female socket contacts with a 2.50mm pitch configuration. 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 but alternative housing colors or inventory availability necessitate component selection from the qualified substitute list.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of rectangular connector plug housings within the TE Connectivity Multi-Lock series is determined by electrical and mechanical compatibility. The primary substitution criterion is the maintenance of identical electrical and mechanical parameters across all positions: connector type (plug), contact type (female socket), position count (12), pitch spacing (2.50mm), row configuration (2 rows at 5.20mm spacing), mounting method (free hanging in-line), termination method (crimp), fastening mechanism (latch lock), and insulation material (PBT).

The substitute part 175965-2 maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters identical to the main part 175965-1. The only variance is the housing color, which changes from white to black. This color difference does not affect electrical performance, mechanical fit, or thermal characteristics. Both parts share the same base product number (175965), series designation (Multi-Lock), operating temperature range (-30°C ~ 105°C), compliance certifications (RoHS3), and moisture sensitivity classification (MSL 1).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the TE Connectivity 175965-1 and 175965-2 are Active product status components with full RoHS3 compliance and MSL 1 classification. Selection between these parts is based on application-specific requirements regarding housing color and inventory availability.

The 175965-1 (white housing) is suitable for applications where color coding or visual identification requires white connector housings. Current inventory shows 706 pieces in stock.

The 175965-2 (black housing) is suitable for applications where color coding or visual identification requires black connector housings. Current inventory shows 1231 pieces in stock.

Both parts maintain identical electrical performance, mechanical dimensions, operating temperature specifications, and regulatory compliance. The selection between these substitutes does not impact circuit functionality, signal integrity, or thermal management characteristics. Component selection should be based on documented color requirements in the application schematic or assembly specification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 175965-2 be used as a direct replacement for 175965-1?

A: Yes. The 175965-2 is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the 175965-1. All critical parameters including position count, pitch spacing, row configuration, contact type, termination method, and operating temperature range are identical. The only difference is the housing color (black versus white).

Q: What is the difference between these two connector housings?

A: The 175965-1 features a white PBT housing, while the 175965-2 features a black PBT housing. All other specifications, including electrical performance, mechanical dimensions, and compliance certifications, are identical.

Q: Are both parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both the 175965-1 and 175965-2 are RoHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity) classification.

Q: Do these connector housings include contacts?

A: No. Both the 175965-1 and 175965-2 are housings only. Crimp-terminated female socket contacts must be sourced separately and installed into the housing.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for these connectors?

A: Both parts operate within the temperature range of -30°C to 105°C.

Q: Can I mix 175965-1 and 175965-2 in the same assembly?

A: Yes. Since both parts are electrically and mechanically identical, they can be used together in the same assembly. The color difference does not affect electrical performance or mechanical compatibility.

Q: What mounting configuration do these housings support?

A: Both housings are configured for free hanging (in-line) mounting with latch lock fastening. They accommodate 12 positions arranged in 2 rows with 2.50mm pitch and 5.20mm row spacing.
