Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 176264-9 is based on electrical and mechanical compatibility within the AMPMODU series. The substitute part 5176264-9 maintains identical functional parameters including connector type, contact configuration, pitch spacing, mounting methodology, and electrical ratings. Both components are male pin headers with 20 positions in a 2-row configuration at 0.079" (2.00mm) pitch, designed for through-hole solder termination in board-to-board or cable applications.

The primary distinction between the main part and its substitute relates to product lifecycle status and compliance certification. The 176264-9 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant, while the 5176264-9 is an active product with RoHS compliance. Additionally, minor variations exist in contact finish specifications and packaging format, which do not affect functional interchangeability for equivalent electrical and mechanical performance.

Key parameters determining substitution eligibility:

• Connector type and contact configuration (Header, Breakaway; Male Pin)
• Position count and row arrangement (20 positions, 2 rows)
• Pitch and row spacing (0.079" / 2.00mm)
• Mounting and termination method (Through Hole; Solder)
• Voltage and temperature ratings (200VAC; -40°C ~ 105°C)
• Insulation material and flammability rating (Thermoplastic; UL94 V-0)

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 5176264-9 is the direct equivalent substitute for the obsolete 176264-9 within the TE Connectivity AMP Connectors AMPMODU series. Both components provide identical electrical and mechanical functionality for rectangular connector header applications requiring 20-position, 2-row through-hole solder termination at 0.079" (2.00mm) pitch.

Selection of the 5176264-9 is supported by the following engineering considerations:

Product Lifecycle Status: The 5176264-9 maintains active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and manufacturer support. The 176264-9 is classified as obsolete, limiting future procurement options.

Regulatory Compliance: The 5176264-9 is RoHS compliant, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing and distribution. The 176264-9 is RoHS non-compliant, which may restrict use in applications subject to RoHS directives.

Contact Finish Specification: The 5176264-9 features tin post finish compared to the tin-lead post finish of the 176264-9. This change aligns with RoHS compliance requirements and does not affect functional interchangeability for solder termination applications.

Packaging Format: The 5176264-9 is supplied in tray packaging, providing standardized handling and storage for manufacturing environments.

For new designs and ongoing procurement, the 5176264-9 is the appropriate selection. For legacy systems currently utilizing the 176264-9, direct substitution with the 5176264-9 is functionally equivalent.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 176264-9 and 5176264-9 electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both components are male pin headers with identical electrical ratings (200VAC), operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 105°C), and contact configuration. The voltage and temperature specifications are equivalent, supporting direct substitution in electrical applications.

Q: What is the difference in contact finish between these parts?

A: The 176264-9 features tin-lead post finish, while the 5176264-9 features tin post finish. This difference reflects RoHS compliance requirements. Both finishes are suitable for solder termination and do not affect mechanical or electrical interchangeability.

Q: Can the 5176264-9 be used as a replacement in existing assemblies designed for the 176264-9?

A: Yes. The 5176264-9 maintains identical mechanical dimensions, pitch spacing (0.079" / 2.00mm), contact length, and insulation height. Through-hole mounting and solder termination processes are equivalent. Direct substitution is functionally compatible.

Q: Why is the 176264-9 listed as obsolete?

A: The 176264-9 is an older product designation within the AMPMODU series. The 5176264-9 represents the current active equivalent, incorporating RoHS compliance and updated manufacturing standards. TE Connectivity has transitioned product lines to the 5176264-9 for ongoing production and distribution.

Q: What is the significance of RoHS compliance for this connector?

A: RoHS compliance indicates the component meets Restriction of Hazardous Substances directives, restricting the use of lead and other hazardous materials.
