TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 2-1703498-3 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 2-1703498-3 is a rectangular connector housing plug assembly classified within the MCON series. This component is a 2-position plug housing with a 4.00mm pitch, designed for crimp contact termination in free-hanging inline applications. The part maintains Active product status and is ROHS3 compliant with unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1).

Substitute parts are necessary when the original part number becomes unavailable, when alternative color specifications are required for system integration, or when inventory constraints necessitate selection from equivalent alternatives within the same electrical and mechanical parameter set.

Mandatory Equivalence Parameters:

• Connector Type: Plug
• Number of Positions: 2
• Pitch: 0.157" (4.00mm)
• Contact Type: Tab
• Contact Termination: Crimp
• Fastening Type: Latch Lock
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Insulation Material: Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT), Glass Filled
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to 125°C
• Features: Sealed
• Series: MCON
• Product Status: Active
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• MSL: 1 (Unlimited)

Variable Parameters (Non-Restrictive for Substitution):

• Color (Gray or Black)

• HTSUS Classification

All substitute parts listed maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Differences in color designation and regulatory documentation status do not affect functional interchangeability within the connector housing category.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts listed maintain Active product status with ROHS3 compliance certification. Selection between 2-1703498-3 and its equivalents is based on the following engineering criteria:

Primary Selection Criteria:

• All parts are functionally identical in electrical and mechanical performance
• All parts are ROHS3 compliant and suitable for regulated applications
• All parts carry MSL 1 rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage or handling

Color-Based Selection:

• 2-1703498-3 and 2-1703498-1 are specified in Gray
• 1-1703498-2 and 1-1703498-3 are specified in Black
• Color selection is determined by system integration requirements and visual identification standards

Regulatory Documentation:

• 2-1703498-3 and 1-1703498-3 carry REACH Unaffected status
• 1-1703498-2 and 2-1703498-1 carry Vendor Undefined REACH status
• Applications requiring explicit REACH compliance documentation should prioritize parts with REACH Unaffected designation

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 1-1703498-2 be used as a direct replacement for 2-1703498-3?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent rectangular connector housings within the MCON series. The primary difference is color specification (Black versus Gray). Functional interchangeability is complete when color is not a system requirement.

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

A: Color designation in connector housings serves visual identification and system integration purposes. Gray-specified parts (2-1703498-3, 2-1703498-1) and Black-specified parts (1-1703498-2, 1-1703498-3) are functionally identical. Color selection is determined by application requirements and assembly standards, not electrical performance.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts carry ROHS3 Compliant certification, meeting regulatory requirements for restricted substance elimination in electronic components.

Q: What does MSL 1 (Unlimited) mean for these connector housings?

A: MSL 1 designation indicates unlimited moisture sensitivity level. These parts require no special moisture control during storage, handling, or assembly. Standard warehouse conditions are acceptable.

Q: Do these connector housings include contacts?

A: No. All parts in this product family are housings only. Contacts are not included and must be sourced separately as required by application specifications.

Q: What is the difference between REACH Unaffected and Vendor Undefined status?

A: REACH Unaffected status indicates explicit compliance documentation. Vendor Undefined status indicates that regulatory documentation has not been formally established by the supplier. For applications requiring documented REACH compliance, select parts with REACH Unaffected designation.

Q: Can these connector housings be used in applications with operating temperatures below -40°C or above 125°C?

A: No. The operating temperature range is specified as -40°C to 125°C. Applications requiring operation outside this range require alternative component selection.

Q: Are the substitute parts from the same manufacturer?

A: Yes. All substitute parts are manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors and belong to the MCON series family.
