Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 176264-6 is based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence within the AMPMODU series. The substitute part 5176264-6 maintains identical specifications across all critical functional parameters: connector type, contact configuration, pitch geometry, row spacing, mounting methodology, termination approach, voltage rating, and operating temperature range. Both parts are unshrouded headers with square male pin contacts, identical insulation height, and equivalent overall contact dimensions.

The primary distinction between the main part and its substitute relates to product status and regulatory compliance. The 176264-6 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant, while the 5176264-6 is an active product with RoHS compliance certification. Secondary differences include packaging format (tray for the substitute versus unspecified for the main part) and minor variations in contact finish specifications that do not affect functional interchangeability.

Key parameters determining substitution eligibility:

• Connector type and contact configuration
• Position count and row arrangement
• Pitch and row spacing dimensions
• Mounting and termination methods
• Voltage and temperature ratings
• Insulation material and flammability classification

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 5176264-6 is the direct equivalent substitute for the obsolete 176264-6. Both components are functionally identical across all electrical and mechanical parameters, with complete dimensional and performance compatibility. The substitute part is manufactured by the same supplier within the same AMPMODU series and maintains identical connector specifications, contact geometry, and environmental ratings.

Selection of the 5176264-6 is supported by its active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity. The substitute part carries RoHS compliance certification, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component procurement in many jurisdictions. The transition from the non-compliant 176264-6 to the compliant 5176264-6 aligns with modern environmental and safety standards without requiring design modifications.

The contact finish post material differs between the two parts (Tin-Lead in the original versus Tin in the substitute), reflecting industry-wide transition away from lead-based finishes. This change does not affect electrical performance or mechanical interchangeability. Both parts maintain identical mating contact finish specifications and overall electrical characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 176264-6 and 5176264-6 mechanically interchangeable?
