TE Connectivity 1-967616-1 Rectangular Connector Housing Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 1-967616-1 is a 6-position rectangular connector receptacle housing from the Micro Quadlok series. This component serves as the housing structure for female socket contacts in applications requiring sealed, in-line connector assemblies. The part is classified as Active product status with full RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected designation. Substitute parts are identified to provide alternative options when the primary part number is unavailable or when specific color or inventory requirements necessitate alternative sourcing within the same electrical and mechanical specification envelope.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 1-967616-1 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters: connector type (receptacle), contact type (female socket), number of positions (6), pitch (0.157" / 4.00mm), number of rows (2), row spacing (0.138" / 3.50mm), mounting type (free hanging in-line), contact termination method (crimp), insulation material (PBT glass-filled), operating temperature range (-40°C to 120°C), sealed feature designation, and series classification (Micro Quadlok).

The substitute part 2-967616-1 maintains complete electrical and mechanical compatibility with the main part across all specified parameters. The only variance is the housing color, which changes from black to gray. This color difference does not affect electrical performance, mechanical fit, or thermal characteristics. Both parts share identical base product number designation (967616), confirming their functional equivalence within the Micro Quadlok connector family.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 1-967616-1 and 2-967616-1 maintain Active product status with identical compliance certifications: RoHS3 compliance, REACH unaffected designation, and EAR99 export classification. Selection between these parts should be based on application-specific requirements regarding housing color and current inventory availability.

The 1-967616-1 (black housing) carries inventory of 1,000,400 pieces. The 2-967616-1 (gray housing) carries inventory of 6,001 pieces. Both parts are new original stock. The choice between black and gray housing does not impact electrical performance, mechanical compatibility, thermal characteristics, or regulatory compliance. Housing color selection is determined solely by application aesthetics, PCB assembly color coordination, or visual identification requirements within the end system.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 2-967616-1 (gray) be used as a direct replacement for the 1-967616-1 (black)?

A: Yes. The 2-967616-1 is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the 1-967616-1 across all functional parameters. The housing color difference does not affect connector performance, mating characteristics, or thermal operation.

Q: Are there any compatibility issues when substituting between these part numbers?

A: No compatibility issues exist. Both parts are from the same Micro Quadlok series with identical pitch (4.00mm), row spacing (3.50mm), position count (6), and mounting configuration. They mate with identical contact sets and cable assemblies.

Q: Do both parts require the same contact specifications?

A: Yes. Both housings accept the same crimp-terminated female socket contacts. Contacts are not included with either housing and must be sourced separately using the same contact part numbers.

Q: What is the significance of the color difference between these parts?

A: The color difference is cosmetic only. Both black (1-967616-1) and gray (2-967616-1) housings are constructed from identical PBT glass-filled material with identical sealed design. Color selection is based on application requirements or visual identification needs.

Q: Are both parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both 1-967616-1 and 2-967616-1 carry RoHS3 compliance certification and REACH unaffected status, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for both parts?

A: Both parts operate across the identical temperature range of -40°C to 120°C, supporting applications in industrial, automotive, and consumer environments within this thermal envelope.

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

A: No. Both parts carry Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage, handling, or assembly processes.
