• Number of positions: 62
• Number of rows: 3
• Shell size and layout: 4 (DC, C) High Density
• Termination method: Solder Cup
• Mounting type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Contact type: Signal
• Flange feature: Housing/Shell (Unthreaded)
• Current rating: 3A
• Contact material: Copper Alloy
• Contact finish: Gold
• Material flammability rating: UL94 V-0
• Color: Black
• Features: Grounding Indents

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Voltage rating (125V primary; 60V acceptable for lower-voltage applications)
• Operating temperature range (primary: -55°C ~ 105°C; substitute: -55°C ~ 125°C provides extended upper range)
• Shell finish (Nickel Plated vs. Tin Plated)
• Contact finish thickness (30.0µin vs. Flash)
• Dielectric material (Polyamide vs. Polybutylene Terephthalate)
• RoHS certification version (RoHS Compliant vs. ROHS3 Compliant)
• Ingress protection rating (none vs. IP20)

The substitute part 163A16629X meets all mandatory matching parameters and represents a functionally equivalent alternative with enhanced operating temperature capability and updated compliance certifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Part: 17EHD062PAM000

The 17EHD062PAM000 is the specified component and should be used when:

• Original design specifications require 125V voltage rating
• Operating temperature maximum of 105°C is sufficient
• RoHS Compliant certification (non-ROHS3) meets regulatory requirements
• Nickel-plated shell finish is specified
• Polyamide dielectric material is required

Substitute Part: 163A16629X

The 163A16629X is an equivalent substitute and may be used when:

• Application voltage requirements do not exceed 60V
• Extended operating temperature capability to 125°C is beneficial
• ROHS3 Compliant certification is required for current regulatory compliance
• Tin-plated shell finish is acceptable
• Polybutylene Terephthalate dielectric material is acceptable
• IP20 ingress protection rating provides additional environmental protection

Both parts maintain identical mechanical compatibility, pin configuration, and core electrical performance characteristics (3A current rating, gold contact finish, UL94 V-0 flammability rating). Selection between these parts depends on specific application voltage and temperature requirements, as well as regulatory certification needs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 163A16629X be used as a direct replacement for the 17EHD062PAM000?

A: The 163A16629X is mechanically and electrically compatible for applications operating at 60V or below and within the -55°C to 125°C temperature range. If your application requires the full 125V rating of the original part, the 163A16629X is not suitable. Verify your circuit voltage requirements before substitution.

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

A: Both certifications indicate compliance with Restriction of Hazardous Substances regulations. ROHS3 Compliant represents the current version of the directive with updated substance restrictions. RoHS Compliant refers to the earlier version. The 163A16629X meets the more recent ROHS3 standard.

Q: Are the shell finishes (Nickel Plated vs. Tin Plated) interchangeable?

A: Both finishes provide corrosion resistance and electrical conductivity. Nickel plating offers superior corrosion resistance in harsh environments, while tin plating is acceptable for standard industrial applications. Selection depends on environmental exposure and specific application requirements.

Q: What does the IP20 ingress protection rating on the 163A16629X indicate?

A: IP20 indicates protection against solid objects larger than 12mm and no protection against liquid ingress. The original 17EHD062PAM000 does not specify an ingress protection rating. The IP20 rating on the substitute provides additional environmental protection in dusty or particulate-laden environments.

Q: Can I use the 163A16629X in an application rated for 125V?

A: No. The 163A16629X has a maximum voltage rating of 60V. Using it in a 125V application exceeds its electrical specifications and creates a safety hazard. The 17EHD062PAM000 must be used for 125V applications.

Q: What is the significance of contact finish thickness (30.0µin vs. Flash)?

A: Contact finish thickness affects durability and wear resistance. The 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness on the 17EHD062PAM000 provides a thicker gold plating layer for extended contact life. Flash plating on the 163A16629X provides minimal gold coverage suitable for standard mating cycles. For high-cycle mating applications, the thicker plating is preferable.

Q: Are both parts suitable for solder cup termination?

A: Yes. Both the 17EHD062PAM000 and 163A16629X feature solder cup termination and are compatible with standard wave soldering and hand soldering processes. No termination method differences exist between these parts.

Q: What is the difference in dielectric materials between these connectors?

A: The 17EHD062PAM000 uses Polyamide (PA) nylon with glass filling, while the 163A16629X uses Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) with glass filling. Both are glass-filled thermoplastics with UL94 V-0 flammability ratings. PBT offers superior chemical resistance and dimensional stability, while Polyamide provides excellent mechanical properties. Both materials are suitable for industrial connector applications.

Q: Do both parts have grounding indents?

A: Yes. Both the 17EHD062PAM000 and 163A16629X include grounding indents as a standard feature for EMI/RFI shielding and proper grounding in high-density D-Sub applications.
