Mechanical Compatibility Parameters:

• Connector type: Header, Breakaway
• Contact type: Male Pin
• Mounting type: Through Hole
• Termination method: Solder
• Fastening type: Push-Pull
• Contact shape: Square
• Insulation material: Thermoplastic
• Insulation color: Black
• Material flammability rating: UL94 V-0

Physical Dimensions:

• Contact length - mating: 0.157" (4.00mm)
• Contact length - post: 0.102" (2.60mm)
• Overall contact length: 0.319" (8.10mm)
• Insulation height: 0.059" (1.50mm)

The substitute part 5176264-5 maintains full equivalence across all electrical, mechanical, and dimensional parameters. The primary distinction is product status (active versus obsolete) and RoHS compliance status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The substitute part 5176264-5 is a direct functional equivalent to the obsolete 176264-5. All electrical, mechanical, and dimensional specifications are identical. The substitute part offers the following advantages:

Product Status: The 5176264-5 maintains active product status with TE Connectivity, ensuring continued availability and manufacturing support. The original 176264-5 is classified as obsolete and subject to discontinuation.

Regulatory Compliance: The 5176264-5 is RoHS compliant, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements for electronic components. The original part is RoHS non-compliant, which may present compliance challenges for new designs or applications subject to RoHS directives.

Contact Finish Specification: The substitute part specifies Tin finish on the post contact, compared to Tin-Lead finish on the original part. This represents a lead-free alternative consistent with modern manufacturing standards and RoHS compliance requirements.

Inventory Availability: The 5176264-5 is available in higher inventory quantities (1111 pieces) compared to the original part (636 pieces), supporting production continuity and supply chain reliability.

For applications requiring the 176264-5, the 5176264-5 provides full electrical and mechanical compatibility with improved compliance status and active product support.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5176264-5 be used as a direct replacement for the 176264-5 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 5176264-5 is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the 176264-5 across all critical parameters including pitch spacing, number of positions, voltage rating, operating temperature range, and physical dimensions. Direct substitution is supported without design modification.

Q: What is the difference between the contact finish specifications?

A: The original 176264-5 specifies Tin-Lead finish on the post contact, while the substitute 5176264-5 specifies Tin finish. Tin is a lead-free alternative that meets RoHS compliance requirements. Both finishes are compatible with standard solder reflow processes and provide equivalent electrical performance.

Q: Why is the 176264-5 classified as obsolete?

A: The 176264-5 is an older product designation within the AMPMODU series. TE Connectivity has transitioned to the 5176264-5 as the active product offering, which incorporates RoHS compliance and lead-free manufacturing standards. The original part number remains available through existing inventory but is no longer actively manufactured.

Q: Are there any packaging differences between the two parts?

A: The original 176264-5 packaging is not specified in the product data. The substitute 5176264-5 is supplied in Bulk packaging, which is the standard distribution format for this connector type. Packaging differences do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: What is the RoHS compliance status, and why does it matter?

A: The 176264-5 is RoHS non-compliant, while the 5176264-5 is RoHS compliant. RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) compliance is required for components used in applications subject to EU directives or similar environmental regulations. For new designs or applications in regulated markets, the RoHS-compliant 5176264-5 is the appropriate selection.

Q: Are the electrical specifications identical between the two parts?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain identical voltage rating (200VAC), operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 105°C), contact configuration (12 positions, 2 rows), pitch spacing (0.079" / 2.00mm), and all other electrical parameters. Substitution does not affect circuit performance or electrical compatibility.

Q: What is the Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL), and does it differ between the parts?

A: Both parts are rated MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. Components with MSL 1 rating do not require special moisture control during storage, handling, or assembly. This specification is identical for both parts.

Q: Can the 5176264-5 be used in applications originally designed for the 176264-5?

A: Yes. The 5176264-5 is fully compatible with all applications designed for the 176264-5. The identical mechanical mounting, electrical specifications, and contact configuration ensure seamless integration into existing circuit designs and PCB layouts without modification.
