Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity 223977-1 connector is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical and Mechanical Equivalence Criteria:

• Connector type: Header with male blades
• Connector style: Blade power configuration
• Number of positions: 3 positions
• Number of rows: 1 row
• Mounting configuration: Board edge, through-hole, right-angle orientation
• Termination method: Press-fit contact technology
• Contact layout: 3 power positions
• Contact finish: Gold or Gold-Palladium plating
• Color: Gray
• Material flammability: UL94 V-0 rating
• Moisture sensitivity: MSL 1 (Unlimited)

The substitute part 5223977-1 maintains complete functional and mechanical equivalence to the main part number 223977-1. The primary distinction between these parts is packaging format (Bulk versus Tube) and compliance certifications. Both parts are manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors within the UPM series and share identical connector specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Part 223977-1 (Main Part): This part is suitable for applications where bulk packaging is preferred and RoHS non-compliance is acceptable within the design constraints. The connector maintains Active product status with established supply availability.

Part 5223977-1 (Substitute): This part is the preferred selection for applications requiring ROHS3 compliance. The substitute part provides identical electrical and mechanical functionality while meeting enhanced environmental and regulatory standards. The tube packaging format accommodates different procurement and handling workflows. Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C) and voltage rating (250V) are specified for this variant, providing additional technical documentation for system design validation.

Both parts are manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors and maintain equivalent connector specifications within the UPM series. Selection between these parts is determined by compliance requirements and packaging preferences rather than functional differences.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are parts 223977-1 and 5223977-1 electrically and mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts are 3-position header connectors with male blades, board edge mounting, through-hole right-angle termination, and press-fit contact technology. They share identical connector specifications within the UPM series and are manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors.

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

A: The primary differences are packaging format (Bulk for 223977-1 versus Tube for 5223977-1) and compliance certifications (RoHS non-compliant versus ROHS3 Compliant). Connector specifications remain identical.

Q: Which part should be selected for RoHS-compliant applications?

A: Part 5223977-1 is ROHS3 compliant and is the appropriate selection for applications requiring RoHS compliance. Part 223977-1 is RoHS non-compliant.
