Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts listed are active products manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors and are fully interchangeable with the 176282-9 from an electrical and mechanical standpoint.

176282-1 (Natural) offers the highest inventory availability at 2200 pieces and carries ROHS3 compliance certification with REACH Unaffected status, providing enhanced regulatory documentation.

176282-2 (Red) and 176282-4 (Yellow) both provide substantial inventory levels (6787 and 6578 pieces respectively) and carry ROHS3 compliance certification, suitable for applications requiring color-coded circuit identification.

176282-6 (Blue) carries RoHS compliance certification and provides 740 pieces in inventory, appropriate for applications with specific color requirements and standard RoHS compliance needs.

Selection between these parts should be based on color requirements for circuit identification, inventory availability for production scheduling, and specific regulatory compliance documentation required by the end application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are all substitute parts electrically identical to the 176282-9?

A: Yes. All substitute parts maintain identical electrical specifications including connector type, position count, pitch, contact type, termination method, and operating temperature range. Electrical performance is not affected by housing color.

Q: What is the only difference between the 176282-9 and its substitutes?

A: Housing color and associated RoHS/REACH compliance certifications. The 176282-9 is black, while substitutes are available in natural, red, yellow, and blue. All other mechanical and electrical parameters are identical.

Q: Can I use a different color housing in my assembly?

A: Yes, provided your application does not require specific color coding for circuit identification or traceability. The substitute parts are mechanically and electrically interchangeable.

Q: Do all parts require the same contact specifications?

A: Yes. All parts are receptacle housings for tab-type contacts with crimp termination. Contacts are not included with any of these housings and must be sourced separately.

Q: What is the difference between RoHS Compliant and ROHS3 Compliant?

A: Both certifications indicate compliance with Restriction of Hazardous Substances directives. ROHS3 represents the current version of the directive. Both are acceptable for RoHS-regulated applications.

Q: Which part should I select if inventory is critical?

A: The 176282-2 (Red) offers the highest inventory level at 6787 pieces, followed by 176282-4 (Yellow) at 6578 pieces.

Q: Are these parts suitable for high-temperature applications?

A: All parts operate within the -30°C to 105°C temperature range. Applications requiring operation outside this range require alternative component selection.

Q: What does MSL 1 (Unlimited) mean?

A: Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 indicates the component has unlimited shelf life and does not require special moisture-controlled storage conditions.
