Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 1658645-1 is the designated substitute for the obsolete TE Connectivity Erni 223251. Selection of this substitute is based on the following engineering criteria:

Product Status: The original part is classified as obsolete, while the substitute maintains active product status with confirmed inventory availability (2375 Pcs New Original In Stock). This ensures continued supply chain access for future procurement requirements.

Compliance and Certifications: The substitute part carries RoHS Compliant certification and REACH Unaffected status, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing and distribution. The original part's compliance status is not specified.

Functional Equivalence: Both components are D-Sub housing plugs rated for 9 positions, designed for male contact accommodation in free-hanging configurations. The substitute is part of the AMPLIMITE HDP-20 series, a recognized D-Sub connector platform.

Material and Construction: The substitute specifies steel shell construction with tin plating (200µin thickness) and polyamide dielectric material, providing defined environmental and electrical performance characteristics.

For new designs and long-term field replacement strategies, the TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 1658645-1 is the appropriate selection to ensure component availability and regulatory compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Why is the TE Connectivity Erni 223251 no longer available?

A: The part is classified as obsolete. TE Connectivity has transitioned this product line, and the substitute part TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 1658645-1 represents the current active equivalent in the D-Sub housing connector category.

Q: What are the critical parameters for substitution compatibility?

A: Substitution is valid when the following parameters match: connector category (D-Sub, D-Shaped Connectors), connector style (D-Sub), connector type (Plug for Male Contacts), and number of positions (9). The TE Connectivity AMP 1658645-1 meets all these criteria.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between the original and substitute parts?

A: The substitute part carries RoHS Compliant and REACH Unaffected certifications. The original part's compliance status is not documented. For applications requiring specific regulatory compliance, the substitute's documented certifications provide assurance of regulatory alignment.

Q: What is the packaging format for the substitute part?

A: The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 1658645-1 is supplied in bulk packaging. Inventory availability is confirmed at 2375 Pcs New Original In Stock.

Q: Does the substitute part include contacts?

A: No. The substitute part is a housing shell only. Contacts are not included and must be procured separately according to application requirements.

Q: What is the connector layout designation for the substitute part?

A: The substitute part uses shell size and connector layout designation 1 (DE, E), which is the standard D-Sub 9-position configuration.
