Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity 179417-1 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Manufacturer: TE Connectivity AMP Connectors
• Category: Rectangular Connectors
• Series: Multi-Lock
• Pin or Socket: Socket
• Contact Termination: Crimp
• Wire Gauge: 18-22 AWG
• Contact Finish: Tin
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)
• REACH Status: REACH Unaffected

The substitute part 175268-1 meets all mandatory matching parameters. The primary difference between the main part and substitute is packaging format: 179417-1 is supplied in Bulk packaging, while 175268-1 is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) packaging. Both parts are functionally identical and interchangeable at the component level.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both 179417-1 and 175268-1 are Active products with full RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, confirming regulatory equivalence for applications requiring environmental and safety certifications. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging requirements and inventory availability:

179417-1 (Bulk Packaging): Suitable for high-volume production runs and applications where bulk component handling is standard practice.

175268-1 (Cut Tape Packaging): Suitable for automated assembly processes, lower-volume applications, and component management systems that require tape-and-reel or cut tape formats.

Both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent. The choice between them does not affect circuit performance, connector compatibility, or compliance status.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 175268-1 be used as a direct replacement for 179417-1?

A: Yes. Both parts are functionally identical across all electrical and mechanical specifications. The only difference is packaging format. Component-level substitution is direct.

Q: Does packaging format affect connector performance?

A: No. Packaging format (Bulk versus Cut Tape) affects handling, storage, and assembly processes but does not alter the electrical or mechanical properties of the socket contact itself.

Q: Are both parts compliant with RoHS3 and REACH regulations?

A: Yes. Both 179417-1 and 175268-1 are RoHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, confirming equivalent regulatory status.

Q: What wire gauges are supported by these socket contacts?

A: Both parts support 18-22 AWG wire gauges with crimp termination.

Q: Is the tin contact finish identical on both parts?

A: Yes. Both parts feature tin contact finish with identical electrical and corrosion resistance properties.

Q: Which part should be selected for automated assembly?

A: The 175268-1 in Cut Tape (CT) packaging is optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly systems. The 179417-1 in Bulk packaging is suitable for manual or semi-automated assembly processes.

Q: Are there any moisture sensitivity concerns with these parts?

A: No. Both parts have Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage or handling.
