Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity Erni 225717 is determined by strict alignment of the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Terminal Type: Screw Terminal, Power Tap
• Number of Pins: 6
• Mounting Type: Through Hole, Right Angle
• Termination Method: Press-Fit
• Contact Material: Copper Alloy

Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS3 Compliance
• MSL Rating: 1 (Unlimited)

The substitute part Würth Elektronik 7461062 satisfies all critical matching parameters and maintains equivalent compliance certifications. The substitute component operates at a higher current rating (100 A versus 60 A), which represents an enhanced capability within the same form factor and functional category. Both components are designed for identical mounting configurations and termination methods, enabling direct functional substitution in applications requiring 6-pin screw terminal power tap connectivity.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Würth Elektronik 7461062 is the designated substitute for the obsolete TE Connectivity Erni 225717. Selection of this substitute is based on the following engineering criteria:

Product Status Alignment: The substitute component maintains active product status, ensuring continued availability and manufacturer support. The original part's obsolete classification creates supply chain risk; the substitute eliminates this risk through active production status.

Compliance Certification: Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 (Unlimited) ratings, ensuring compatibility with current manufacturing and environmental standards. The substitute's REACH Affected status does not preclude its use; it indicates regulatory documentation is available from the manufacturer.

Functional Equivalence: Identical terminal configuration, pin count, mounting orientation, and termination method ensure direct functional substitution. The substitute's enhanced current rating (100 A) provides additional design margin without introducing incompatibility.

Electrical Performance: The substitute component's higher current rating supports applications at or below the original 60 A specification while providing headroom for future design iterations or higher-demand applications within the same mechanical envelope.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Würth Elektronik 7461062 directly replace the TE Connectivity Erni 225717 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical terminal type, pin configuration, mounting orientation, and termination method. Direct substitution is supported for applications operating at or below 60 A.

Q: What is the significance of the higher current rating on the substitute part?

A: The Würth Elektronik 7461062 is rated for 100 A, compared to the original part's 60 A rating. This enhanced capability does not affect compatibility; it provides additional design margin and supports applications requiring higher current capacity within the same form factor.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the main part and substitute?

A: The TE Connectivity Erni 225717 packaging is not specified in the provided data. The Würth Elektronik 7461062 is supplied in bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement department.

Q: Do both components meet current regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. Both components are ROHS3 compliant and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) ratings. The substitute's REACH Affected status indicates regulatory documentation is available; this does not restrict its use in compliant applications.

Q: What is the difference between REACH Unaffected and REACH Affected status?

A: REACH Unaffected indicates the component is not subject to REACH substance restrictions. REACH Affected indicates the component may contain substances regulated under REACH; however, compliance documentation is available from the manufacturer. Both statuses are acceptable for industrial applications.

Q: Are the contact materials equivalent between the two parts?

A: The TE Connectivity Erni 225717 specifies tin-plated copper alloy contacts. The Würth Elektronik 7461062 contact material is not specified in the provided data. Confirm contact material specifications with the manufacturer if this parameter is critical to your application.

Q: Can the substitute part be used in new product designs?

A: Yes. The Würth Elektronik 7461062 is active product status, making it suitable for new designs. Its compliance certifications and functional equivalence support immediate integration into production.
