Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 2-175677-8 are identified based on electrical and mechanical parameter compatibility. The following parameters must align for functional equivalence:

• Number of Positions: 68
• Number of Rows: 2
• Connector Type: Plug
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Termination Method: IDC
• Connector Style: Center Strip Contacts
• Contact Finish: Gold
• Contact Finish Thickness: 30.0µin (0.76µm)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

Two substitute parts meet these criteria: the TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 2-5175677-8 (direct manufacturer upgrade) and the 3M 10168-6000EC (cross-manufacturer alternative). Both maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications while offering active product status and improved compliance certifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 2-5175677-8 is the primary substitute for the obsolete 2-175677-8. This part maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications while offering active product status and ROHS3 compliance. Selection of the 2-5175677-8 is appropriate for applications requiring direct manufacturer continuity within the CHAMP .050 II series.

3M 10168-6000EC serves as a cross-manufacturer alternative. This part meets all electrical and mechanical parameter requirements and provides ROHS3 compliance. The 10168-6000EC includes shielding features and operates within the 101 Mini D Ribbon (MDR) series. Selection of the 3M part is appropriate when cross-manufacturer sourcing is acceptable and shielding characteristics are beneficial to system performance.

Both substitute parts carry ROHS3 compliance and active product status, addressing the regulatory and availability limitations of the obsolete original part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 2-5175677-8 directly replace the 2-175677-8 in existing applications?

A: Yes. The 2-5175677-8 maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including 68 positions, 2-row configuration, IDC termination, center strip contacts, gold contact finish at 30.0µin thickness, and MSL 1 rating. The primary differences are product status (active versus obsolete) and RoHS compliance (ROHS3 versus non-compliant).

Q: What is the functional difference between the TE Connectivity 2-5175677-8 and the 3M 10168-6000EC?

A: Both parts meet all core electrical and mechanical requirements for the 68-position, 2-row, IDC-terminated plug connector. The 3M 10168-6000EC includes shielding features and operates within a different series designation (101 Mini D Ribbon versus CHAMP .050 II). Packaging differs: the TE part ships in boxes, while the 3M part ships in trays.

Q: Are there compatibility concerns when substituting the 3M 10168-6000EC for the original 2-175677-8?

A: No compatibility concerns exist regarding electrical and mechanical parameters. All specified parameters align: 68 positions, 2 rows, plug type, free hanging in-line mounting, IDC termination, center strip contacts, gold finish at 30.0µin, and MSL 1. The shielding feature of the 3M part provides additional protection without creating incompatibility.

Q: What is the inventory status for substitute parts?

A: The 2-5175677-8 has 989 pieces in stock. The 3M 10168-6000EC has 1230 pieces in stock. Both parts are available as new original components.

Q: Why is the original 2-175677-8 classified as obsolete?

A: The 2-175677-8 is listed as obsolete by the manufacturer. The active equivalent 2-5175677-8 is available as the direct replacement within the TE Connectivity product line.

Q: Does RoHS compliance affect electrical performance?

A: RoHS compliance relates to material composition and environmental regulations, not electrical performance. Both ROHS3-compliant substitutes (2-5175677-8 and 10168-6000EC) deliver identical electrical specifications to the original part.
