TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 2-1703494-1 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 2-1703494-1 is a 3-position rectangular connector housing plug with a 4.00mm pitch, designed for free-hanging in-line applications. This connector housing is part of the MCON series and features a sealed design with crimp contact termination and locking ramp fastening. The part is currently active in production with 2321 pieces available in new original stock condition.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are maintained across the connector housing specifications, allowing for direct functional replacement in applications where the core performance characteristics remain unchanged.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 2-1703494-1 are identified based on strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The following parameters must remain identical for substitution eligibility:

• Connector Type: Plug
• Number of Positions: 3
• Pitch: 0.157" (4.00mm)
• Contact Type: Tab
• Number of Rows: 1
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Contact Termination: Crimp
• Fastening Type: Locking Ramp
• Insulation Material: Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT), Glass Filled
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C ~ 125°C
• Features: Sealed
• Series: MCON

The substitute part 1-1703494-4 maintains all of these parameters. The only variation is the color designation (Yellow versus Gray), which does not affect electrical or mechanical performance and does not impact functional compatibility in applications where color coding is not a critical requirement.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 2-1703494-1 and 1-1703494-4 are active production parts from TE Connectivity AMP Connectors with full regulatory compliance. The 2-1703494-1 carries ROHS3 Compliant status, while the 1-1703494-4 carries RoHS Compliant status. Both parts maintain identical MSL ratings of 1 (Unlimited), indicating equivalent moisture sensitivity performance.

Selection between these parts should be based on application-specific requirements:

The 2-1703494-1 (Gray) is suitable for applications where gray color coding is specified or preferred for circuit identification or assembly documentation purposes.

The 1-1703494-4 (Yellow) is suitable for applications where yellow color coding is specified or preferred for circuit identification or assembly documentation purposes.

From a functional and electrical standpoint, both parts are interchangeable. The choice between them depends solely on whether color designation is a requirement in the application design or assembly process. Both parts are currently in active production with adequate inventory availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1-1703494-4 (Yellow) be used as a direct replacement for the 2-1703494-1 (Gray)?

A: Yes, the 1-1703494-4 is a direct functional equivalent. All electrical and mechanical parameters are identical. The only difference is the color designation. Substitution is valid in applications where color coding is not a critical functional requirement.

Q: Are there any electrical performance differences between the gray and yellow versions?

A: No. Both parts share identical electrical specifications, including operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 125°C), contact type (Tab), termination method (Crimp), and sealed design. Color is a cosmetic and identification feature only.

Q: Do both parts use the same contact specifications?

A: Both parts are connector housings designed for crimp contact termination. The specification notes that contacts are not included with either housing. Compatible contacts must be sourced separately and will be identical for both housing variants.

Q: What is the pitch specification, and does it differ between parts?

A: Both parts feature a 0.157" (4.00mm) pitch. This specification is identical and ensures mechanical compatibility with mating connectors and contact spacing requirements.

Q: Are there any compliance or regulatory differences?

A: Both parts are RoHS compliant. The 2-1703494-1 carries ROHS3 Compliant status, while the 1-1703494-4 carries RoHS Compliant status. Both are classified under ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS code 8538.90.6000. Both maintain MSL rating 1 (Unlimited).

Q: What is the mounting configuration for these connectors?

A: Both parts are configured for Free Hanging (In-Line) mounting, meaning they are designed to be mounted directly to a cable or wire harness without requiring a separate mounting bracket or panel interface.

Q: How many positions does this connector housing accommodate?

A: Both the 2-1703494-1 and 1-1703494-4 are 3-position connector housings with a single row configuration.

Q: What fastening method is used?

A: Both parts utilize a Locking Ramp fastening type, which provides secure mating and retention between plug and receptacle connectors.
