TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 176113-5 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 176113-5 is an 8-position rectangular connector plug housing in the Multi-Lock series. This component functions as a connector housing for female socket contacts in a 2-row configuration with crimp termination and latch lock fastening. The part is classified as Active product status with full RoHS compliance and MSL Level 1 rating.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are maintained across the connector interface, allowing for functional interchangeability in applications where the primary design specifications are preserved.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 176113-5 are identified based on strict equivalence of the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type: Plug housing configuration
• Contact Type: Female socket accommodation
• Position Count: 8-position capacity
• Row Configuration: 2-row arrangement
• Row Spacing: 0.232" (5.90mm) mechanical pitch
• Mounting Configuration: Free hanging in-line orientation
• Termination Method: Crimp contact interface
• Fastening Mechanism: Latch lock engagement system
• Insulation Material: Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT)
• Temperature Rating: -30°C ~ 105°C operational envelope
• Compliance Status: RoHS compliant, MSL Level 1

The substitute part 368540-1 maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The only variance is the housing color (white versus blue), which does not affect functional compatibility or electrical performance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 368540-1 be used as a direct replacement for 176113-5?

A: Yes. The 368540-1 maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters including connector type, position count, row configuration, row spacing, termination method, fastening mechanism, insulation material, and operating temperature range. The housing color difference (white versus blue) is cosmetic and does not affect functional compatibility.

Q: What is the significance of the row spacing parameter in connector substitution?

A: Row spacing of 0.232" (5.90mm) defines the physical distance between the two rows of contact positions. This parameter is critical for mechanical fit and alignment with mating connectors. Both the 176113-5 and 368540-1 maintain identical row spacing, ensuring proper engagement with compatible mating components.

Q: Are there any differences in contact accommodation between these parts?

A: No. Both parts are 8-position housings with female socket contact type in a 2-row configuration. Both accommodate crimp-terminated contacts and utilize identical latch lock fastening mechanisms.

Q: What does MSL Level 1 indicate for these connector housings?

A: Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited) indicates that these components have unlimited shelf life and do not require special moisture control during storage or handling. This classification applies equally to both the 176113-5 and 368540-1.

Q: Is there a difference in packaging between these substitute parts?

A: The 176113-5 is supplied with unspecified packaging, while the 368540-1 is supplied in bulk packaging. Both are new original stock from TE Connectivity AMP Connectors. Packaging format does not affect the functional or electrical characteristics of the connector housings.

Q: Do both parts support the same operating temperature range?

A: Yes. Both the 176113-5 and 368540-1 operate across the identical temperature range of -30°C to 105°C, ensuring equivalent thermal performance in application environments.

Q: What is the significance of the Multi-Lock series designation?

A: Multi-Lock is the product series designation for both parts, indicating they share the same connector platform, design standards, and mechanical interface specifications. This series designation confirms compatibility within the connector ecosystem.
