Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution between the main part 2-174341-5 and the equivalent part 2-5174341-5 is based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. Both parts maintain identical specifications across all critical functional parameters:

Electrical Equivalence Parameters:

• 68 position D-Type cap connector configuration
• Male pin contact arrangement
• 1A current rating at 100V voltage rating
• Gold contact finish at 30.0µin thickness
• Phosphor bronze contact material

Mechanical Equivalence Parameters:

• 0.050 pitch x 0.100 row-to-row spacing
• Through-hole, right-angle mounting orientation
• Zinc nickel-plated shell finish
• M2.5 housing flange with latchblocks
• 0.149" (3.80mm) backset spacing
• Polybutylene terephthalate dielectric material
• Board lock and shielded features

Operational Equivalence Parameters:

• -55°C to 85°C operating temperature range
• UL94 V-0 flammability rating
• AMPLIMITE.050 II series designation

The primary distinction between these parts resides in packaging format and regulatory compliance status, not in form, fit, or function.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

2-174341-5 (Main Part): This part is suitable for applications where RoHS non-compliance is acceptable and REACH-affected material usage is permitted. The bulk packaging format is appropriate for high-volume manufacturing environments with established material handling procedures. Current inventory of 730 pieces supports immediate deployment for ongoing production requirements.

2-5174341-5 (Substitute Part): This part is the preferred selection for applications requiring ROHS3 compliance and REACH-unaffected material composition. The tray packaging format provides enhanced component protection and traceability during storage and handling. The significantly higher inventory level of 2492 pieces ensures sustained availability for extended production schedules. This part is mandatory for applications subject to European Union regulatory frameworks or customer specifications requiring ROHS3 and REACH compliance.

Both parts maintain identical electrical performance, mechanical compatibility, and thermal operating characteristics. Selection between these parts is determined by regulatory compliance requirements and packaging logistics rather than functional capability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 2-174341-5 and 2-5174341-5 connectors physically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors are physically and mechanically identical. They share the same 68-position D-Type cap configuration, 0.050 pitch x 0.100 row-to-row spacing, through-hole right-angle mounting, and all mechanical dimensions including the 0.149" backset spacing and M2.5 flange features.

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

A: The primary differences are packaging format and regulatory compliance status. The 2-174341-5 is supplied in bulk packaging and carries RoHS non-compliant status with REACH-affected material designation. The 2-5174341-5 is supplied in tray packaging and is ROHS3 compliant with REACH-unaffected material composition.

Q: Can I use the 2-5174341-5 as a direct replacement for the 2-174341-5 in existing designs?

A: Yes, the 2-5174341-5 functions as a direct electrical and mechanical substitute. All electrical parameters including current rating (1A), voltage rating (100V), contact finish (gold at 30.0µin), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 85°C) are identical. The connector will perform identically in the circuit.

Q: Which part should I specify for new designs?

A: Specify the 2-5174341-5 for new designs unless RoHS non-compliance is explicitly required by application constraints. The ROHS3 compliance and REACH-unaffected status of the 2-5174341-5 provide broader regulatory acceptance and future-proof compliance positioning.

Q: Does the tray packaging of the 2-5174341-5 affect component performance?

A: No. Packaging format does not affect electrical or mechanical performance. Tray packaging provides improved component protection, moisture control, and traceability during storage and handling compared to bulk packaging.

Q: Are both parts suitable for -55°C to 85°C operating temperature applications?

A: Yes. Both the 2-174341-5 and 2-5174341-5 maintain identical operating temperature specifications of -55°C to 85°C and carry the same UL94 V-0 flammability rating.

Q: What is the contact material composition for both parts?

A: Both parts use phosphor bronze contact material with gold plating at 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness. The shell material is zinc with nickel plating for both connectors.

Q: Is the board lock and shielding feature present on both parts?

A: Yes. Both the 2-174341-5 and 2-5174341-5 include board lock and shielded features as standard configuration.
