Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

2-174225-5 (Main Part Number)

Select this part number for applications where RoHS non-compliant components are acceptable and standard packaging is required. This part maintains active product status and is available in moderate inventory quantities.

2-5174225-5 (Substitute Part Number)

Select this part number for applications requiring ROHS3 compliance. This substitute provides superior inventory availability with 2200 pieces in stock compared to 999 pieces for the main part. The tray packaging format is suitable for high-volume assembly operations and automated pick-and-place processes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical across all functional parameters.

The selection between these two part numbers should be based on regulatory compliance requirements and packaging format needs for your specific application. Both parts are manufactured by TE Connectivity and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications within the AMPLIMITE.050 II series.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 2-174225-5 and 2-5174225-5 connectors electrically identical?

A: Yes. Both connectors maintain identical electrical specifications including 1A current rating, 100V voltage rating, gold contact finish at 30.0µin thickness, and phosphor bronze contact material. They operate across the same temperature range of -55°C to 85°C.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two part numbers?

A: The primary differences are packaging format and RoHS compliance status. The 2-174225-5 uses standard packaging and is RoHS non-compliant. The 2-5174225-5 uses tray packaging and is ROHS3 compliant. All mechanical and electrical parameters are identical.

Q: Can I use 2-5174225-5 as a direct replacement for 2-174225-5 in my PCB assembly?

A: Yes. The 2-5174225-5 is mechanically and electrically compatible with 2-174225-5. Both connectors feature identical through-hole, right-angle solder termination, 68-position configuration, and 0.050 pitch layout. The tray packaging does not affect connector performance or compatibility.

Q: Which part should I specify for new designs?

A: For new designs, specify 2-5174225-5 if your application or customer requirements mandate ROHS3 compliance. If RoHS compliance is not required, either part number is suitable. The 2-5174225-5 offers higher inventory availability, which may provide supply chain advantages.

Q: Are there any performance differences between standard and tray packaging?

A: No. Packaging format does not affect connector performance, electrical characteristics, or mechanical specifications. Tray packaging is optimized for automated assembly processes and high-volume production environments.

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

A: Both the 2-174225-5 and 2-5174225-5 operate across the identical temperature range of -55°C to 85°C, with PBT dielectric material maintaining performance throughout this range.

Q: Are both connectors shielded?

A: Yes. Both part numbers feature shielded design with zinc nickel-plated shells and M2.5 housing/shell flange features with latchblocks for secure mechanical retention.
