Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity 2-175677-4 is based on strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type: Both main and substitute parts are plugs
• Position Count: Both maintain 26 positions
• Row Configuration: Both feature 2-row layouts
• Mounting Configuration: Both are free hanging (in-line) designs
• Termination Technology: Both utilize IDC (Insulation Displacement Contact) termination
• Contact Geometry: Both employ center strip contacts
• Contact Finish Material: Both feature gold plating at 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness

The 3M 10126-6000EC qualifies as a functional equivalent based on these parameters. The substitute part maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications while offering active product status and improved compliance certifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 3M 10126-6000EC serves as the primary substitute for the obsolete TE Connectivity 2-175677-4. Selection of the 3M alternative is supported by the following factors:

Functional Equivalence: The substitute part maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters, including position count, row configuration, termination method, and contact finish specifications.

Product Status: The 3M 10126-6000EC holds active product status, ensuring continued availability and manufacturing support. The TE Connectivity 2-175677-4 is classified as obsolete, limiting future procurement options.

Regulatory Compliance: The 3M substitute achieves ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, whereas the original part is RoHS non-compliant with undefined REACH status. This compliance advantage supports applications subject to environmental and regulatory requirements.

Packaging and Inventory: The 3M 10126-6000EC is supplied in tray packaging with substantial inventory availability (13,100 pieces), facilitating both prototype and production-volume procurement.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What makes the 3M 10126-6000EC a valid substitute for the TE Connectivity 2-175677-4?

A: The 3M part maintains identical specifications across all critical functional parameters: 26-position plug configuration, 2-row layout, free hanging (in-line) mounting, IDC termination, center strip contacts, and gold contact finish at 30.0µin thickness. These parameters define electrical and mechanical compatibility for D-Sub connector applications.

Q: Does the substitute part require any design modifications?

A: No design modifications are required. Both connectors share identical position counts, row configurations, mounting types, and termination methods. The substitute part integrates directly into existing applications designed for the TE Connectivity 2-175677-4.

Q: What is the significance of the RoHS3 compliance difference?

A: The 3M 10126-6000EC achieves ROHS3 compliance, whereas the original TE Connectivity part is RoHS non-compliant. This distinction is relevant for applications subject to European Union environmental directives or customer specifications requiring RoHS compliance. The substitute part satisfies these regulatory requirements.

Q: Are there differences in packaging between the two parts?

A: Yes. The TE Connectivity 2-175677-4 packaging is not specified in available documentation. The 3M 10126-6000EC is supplied in tray packaging. Packaging differences do not affect connector functionality but may influence handling, storage, and procurement workflows.

Q: How do the moisture sensitivity levels compare?

A: Both parts share identical Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) ratings of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling. This equivalence ensures identical environmental storage and handling requirements.

Q: What is the availability status of each part?

A: The TE Connectivity 2-175677-4 is obsolete with 1,137 pieces in current inventory. The 3M 10126-6000EC is active with 13,100 pieces available. The active status of the substitute part ensures long-term procurement viability.
