Substitute Part Grouping Explanation
Substitution of the obsolete TE Connectivity 205817-3 is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:
- Connector Series Compatibility: Both parts must be designed for AMPLIMITE Series HDF and HDP connectors
- Accessory Type: Both must function as jackscrew socket assemblies
- Thread Specification: Identical 4-40 socket and 4-40 screw threading
- Physical Dimensions: Matching threaded portion length (0.312" / 7.92mm) and below-head length (0.312" / 7.92mm)
- Hardware Inclusion: Both include integrated hardware as standard
The substitute part 5205817-3 meets all these criteria and is classified as an active product with current manufacturing status, making it a direct functional equivalent for applications requiring the 205817-3.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can the 5205817-3 be used as a direct replacement for the 205817-3 in existing designs?
A: Yes. The 5205817-3 maintains identical thread specifications (4-40 socket and screw), physical dimensions (0.312" threaded length), and compatibility with AMPLIMITE Series HDF and HDP connectors. No design modification is required.
Q: What is the difference between the packaging of these two parts?
A: The 205817-3 is supplied in standard packaging, while the 5205817-3 is supplied in bulk packaging. Both contain the same jackscrew socket assembly with integrated hardware.
Q: Why is the 205817-3 listed as obsolete?
A: The 205817-3 has been superseded by the 5205817-3, which is the current active product offering from TE Connectivity. The substitute provides equivalent functionality with updated RoHS compliance and active manufacturing support.
Q: Are there any electrical or mechanical differences between these parts?
A: No. Both parts are identical in electrical and mechanical specifications. They share the same thread size, dimensions, series compatibility, and hardware inclusion.
Q: Does the RoHS compliance difference affect compatibility?
A: No. RoHS compliance is a material composition and manufacturing standard, not a functional specification. The 5205817-3 RoHS Compliant status indicates updated manufacturing practices while maintaining identical performance characteristics.
Q: Can I mix 205817-3 and 5205817-3 components in the same assembly?
A: Yes. Both parts are functionally equivalent and can be used interchangeably within the same application or assembly without compatibility issues.
