TE Connectivity 284716-1 Rectangular Connector Housing Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 284716-1 is a 6-position receptacle housing connector from the Micro Timer II series, designed for applications requiring sealed, free-hanging in-line connectivity with crimp termination. This connector housing features a 0.157" (4.00mm) pitch configuration with dual-row arrangement and operates across an extended temperature range of -40°C to 140°C. The part is currently active in production status with 793 units in stock. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are maintained across the connector housing family, enabling component interchangeability for design flexibility and supply chain optimization.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 284716-1 are identified based on strict equivalence of critical electrical and mechanical parameters that define connector housing interchangeability. The following parameters must remain constant across all substitute parts:

• Connector Type: Receptacle
• Number of Positions: 6
• Pitch: 0.157" (4.00mm)
• Number of Rows: 2
• Row Spacing: 0.157" (4.00mm)
• Contact Type: Tab
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Contact Termination: Crimp
• Features: Sealed
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C ~ 140°C
• Series: Micro Timer II
• Base Product Number: 284716

Substitute parts are differentiated by color designation and, in one case, insulation material composition. These variations do not affect the electrical or mechanical interface characteristics of the connector housing. All substitute parts maintain active product status and full compliance with applicable regulatory standards.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All four connector housing variants (284716-1, 284716-2, 284716-3, and 284716-4) are active products with full regulatory compliance. Selection between these parts is determined by application-specific requirements:

284716-1 (Gray): Primary specification with PA46 insulation material and RoHS compliance. Suitable for standard applications requiring gray connector identification.

284716-2 (Black): Functionally equivalent to 284716-1 with black color designation and PA46 insulation material. Provides alternative color coding for circuit identification or aesthetic requirements.

284716-3 (Brown): Functionally equivalent to 284716-1 with brown color designation and PA46 insulation material. Provides alternative color coding for circuit identification or aesthetic requirements.

284716-4 (Black): Functionally equivalent to 284716-1 with black color designation and PA66 insulation material. Meets ROHS3 compliance specification. The PA66 insulation material represents a material composition variant while maintaining equivalent mechanical and electrical interface characteristics.

All parts maintain identical electrical performance, mechanical interface dimensions, and operating temperature specifications. Selection should be based on color coding requirements, insulation material specifications, and applicable regulatory compliance mandates for the target application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 284716-2, 284716-3, and 284716-4 be used interchangeably with 284716-1?

A: Yes. All four parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical interface specifications, including connector type, position count, pitch, row configuration, mounting type, and contact termination method. Substitution is valid from an interface compatibility perspective.

Q: What is the difference between 284716-1 and 284716-4?

A: The primary difference is the insulation material composition. 284716-1 uses Polyamide (PA46) Nylon 4/6 glass-filled material, while 284716-4 uses Polyamide (PA66) Nylon 6/6 glass-filled material. Both materials provide equivalent mechanical and electrical performance across the specified operating temperature range. 284716-4 carries ROHS3 compliance designation compared to RoHS compliance for 284716-1.

Q: Are the color variations (gray, black, brown) functionally equivalent?

A: Yes. Color designation serves identification and circuit organization purposes only. The color variations do not affect electrical performance, mechanical interface characteristics, or operating specifications. Parts 284716-1 (gray), 284716-2 (black), and 284716-3 (brown) are functionally identical except for color.

Q: Do these connector housings include contacts?

A: No. All parts in this family are connector housings only. Contacts are not included and must be sourced separately. Ensure selected contacts are compatible with the 6-position, 0.157" (4.00mm) pitch receptacle housing configuration.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for all substitute parts?

A: All parts operate across the identical temperature range of -40°C to 140°C, enabling substitution in applications with extended temperature requirements.

Q: Are all parts RoHS compliant?

A: Parts 284716-1, 284716-2, and 284716-3 carry RoHS compliance designation. Part 284716-4 carries ROHS3 compliance designation. Both compliance levels satisfy RoHS requirements; ROHS3 represents an updated compliance standard.

Q: What is the Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) for these parts?

A: All parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage or handling.
