TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 2005255-1 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 2005255-1 is a 12-position rectangular connector housing designed for power distribution applications. This plug housing features a 0.156" (3.96mm) pitch configuration with three rows and natural polyamide insulation material. The connector employs crimp termination with latch lock fastening and operates across a temperature range of -30°C to 65°C. The part is classified as Active product status with ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters align with the main part specifications, enabling direct replacement in applications where the original part number becomes unavailable or inventory constraints require alternative sourcing.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for rectangular connector housings is determined by strict alignment of electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary criteria for equivalency include connector type (plug), contact type (female socket), number of positions (12), pitch spacing (0.156" / 3.96mm), row configuration (3 rows), row spacing (0.181" / 4.60mm), mounting type (free hanging in-line), contact termination method (crimp), fastening mechanism (latch lock), and insulation material composition (polyamide PA66 nylon 6/6).

The substitute part TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 177905-1 maintains identical alignment across all these core parameters. Both parts are manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors, belong to the Power Double Lock series, and carry Active product status with ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating. The substitution relationship is based on these matching electrical and mechanical specifications, which ensure functional and physical compatibility in rectangular connector applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 2005255-1 and 177905-1 are Active status products manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors with full ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating. The parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent across all core connector specifications including position count, pitch, row configuration, termination method, and fastening mechanism.

The primary distinction between these parts is the operating temperature range. The 2005255-1 operates from -30°C to 65°C, while the 177905-1 extends the upper temperature limit to 105°C. For applications operating within the -30°C to 65°C envelope, either part provides equivalent functionality. For applications requiring operation above 65°C up to 105°C, the 177905-1 is the appropriate selection.

Component selection should be based on the specific thermal requirements of the application. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical compatibility with mating connectors and contact assemblies designed for the Power Double Lock series 12-position 3.96mm pitch configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What determines whether TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 177905-1 can substitute for 2005255-1?

A: Substitution is determined by matching electrical and mechanical parameters. Both parts share identical connector type (plug), contact type (female socket), position count (12), pitch (0.156" / 3.96mm), row configuration (3 rows), row spacing (0.181" / 4.60mm), mounting type (free hanging in-line), termination method (crimp), fastening type (latch lock), insulation material (polyamide PA66 nylon 6/6), and color (natural). These aligned specifications establish functional and physical compatibility.

Q: Are there temperature limitations when substituting 177905-1 for 2005255-1?

A: The 2005255-1 operates from -30°C to 65°C, while the 177905-1 operates from -30°C to 105°C. The 177905-1 can be used in any application within the 2005255-1 temperature range. However, if the application requires operation above 65°C, only the 177905-1 is suitable.

Q: Do these parts require specific contact assemblies?

A: Both parts are connector housings without included contacts. They are designed for use with crimp-terminated contacts compatible with the Power Double Lock series 12-position 3.96mm pitch configuration. Contact selection must be based on wire gauge, current rating, and application requirements.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes, both the 2005255-1 and 177905-1 are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity) rating, suitable for applications with environmental compliance requirements.

Q: What is the difference in base product numbers between these parts?

A: The 2005255-1 has base product number 2005255, while the 177905-1 has base product number 177905. Despite different base numbers, the parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent across all specified parameters.

Q: Can these connectors be used interchangeably in existing assemblies?

A: Yes, the 2005255-1 and 177905-1 are physically and electrically interchangeable in applications where the operating temperature range of the 2005255-1 (-30°C to 65°C) is sufficient. The identical pitch, row spacing, mounting type, and fastening mechanism ensure compatibility with mating connectors and PCB layouts designed for either part number.
