Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity 1776149-5 is the direct functional equivalent to the obsolete 282963-5 terminal block header. Selection of the 1776149-5 is supported by the following engineering factors:

Product Status: The 1776149-5 maintains active production status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability compared to the obsolete 282963-5.

Regulatory Compliance: The 1776149-5 carries RoHS Compliant certification, meeting current environmental and material restriction requirements. The original 282963-5 lists RoHS status as not applicable, indicating it predates current compliance frameworks.

Electrical & Mechanical Equivalence: All critical electrical parameters (15 A current rating, 300 V voltage rating, -40°C to 110°C operating range) and mechanical specifications (5 positions, 7.50mm pitch, vertical orientation, through-hole mounting) are identical between both parts.

Physical Compatibility: Contact tail length (3.50mm) and insulation height (12.00mm) are identical, ensuring PCB footprint and mating connector compatibility.

Material Specification: Both parts utilize copper alloy contacts and polyamide/nylon housing with UL94 V-0 flammability rating, maintaining electrical performance and safety characteristics.

Color Difference: The 1776149-5 is supplied in black housing versus the green housing of the 282963-5. This cosmetic difference does not affect electrical or mechanical function.
