Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 226176-4 is determined by functional and mechanical compatibility across the following critical parameters:

Substitution Criteria:

• Terminal Type: Coax - Ground Terminal (identical function)
• Termination Method: Through Hole with Crimp Shield (identical mechanical interface)
• Packaging: Bulk (identical supply format)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: MSL 1 (Unlimited) (identical environmental rating)
• Manufacturer: TE Connectivity AMP Connectors (same manufacturer ecosystem)
• Product Status: Active (current production availability)

The substitute part 9-226176-2 meets all functional and mechanical requirements for direct substitution. Both parts share the same base product number (226176), confirming design compatibility within the TE Connectivity AMP Connectors product family.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

226176-4 Selection Criteria: The 226176-4 is appropriate for applications where RoHS non-compliance is acceptable or required by design specification. This part maintains active production status and is suitable for legacy system support and applications without RoHS compliance mandates.

9-226176-2 Selection Criteria: The 9-226176-2 is the preferred substitute for new designs and applications requiring ROHS3 compliance. This part offers identical functional and mechanical characteristics to the 226176-4 while meeting current environmental and regulatory compliance standards. The 9-226176-2 provides enhanced supply availability with 2783 pieces in current inventory compared to 732 pieces for the main part number.

Compliance Consideration: Selection between these parts should be based on project-specific RoHS compliance requirements. Both parts are manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors and share identical terminal type, termination method, and environmental ratings. The primary differentiator is regulatory compliance status.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 9-226176-2 be used as a direct replacement for 226176-4 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. Both parts are functionally and mechanically identical coaxial ground terminals with through-hole crimp shield termination. The 9-226176-2 provides direct substitution capability. The only difference is RoHS compliance status, which does not affect electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: What is the significance of the different part number prefixes (226176-4 vs. 9-226176-2)?

A: Both parts share the same base product number (226176), indicating they are part of the same TE Connectivity AMP Connectors product family. The numerical suffixes and prefixes reflect different manufacturing or compliance variants within the same functional design.

Q: Are there any packaging or quantity differences between these parts?

A: Both parts are supplied in bulk packaging format. Inventory levels differ, with 9-226176-2 currently showing higher availability (2783 pieces) compared to 226176-4 (732 pieces).

Q: Which part should be specified for new product designs?

A: For new designs, specify 9-226176-2 to ensure ROHS3 compliance alignment with current environmental regulations and to benefit from improved supply availability.

Q: Is there a performance difference between RoHS-compliant and non-compliant versions?

A: No. Both versions perform identically in electrical and mechanical function. RoHS compliance status relates to material composition and manufacturing process, not performance characteristics.

Q: Can these parts be intermixed in the same assembly?

A: Yes. Both parts are functionally equivalent and can be used interchangeably within the same assembly without affecting performance or reliability.
