Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the TE Connectivity 3-1617162-1 and J1MSWT-5XP are active production parts manufactured by TE Connectivity Aerospace, Defense and Marine. Selection between these parts is based on availability and inventory status rather than electrical or mechanical differentiation.

Current Inventory Status:

• 3-1617162-1: 1055 units in stock
• J1MSWT-5XP: 954 units in stock

Both parts maintain identical compliance certifications (RoHS non-compliant, REACH Unaffected, EAR99 ECCN). The parts are functionally interchangeable in all applications where the 3-1617162-1 is specified, as all electrical performance parameters, mechanical dimensions, and environmental ratings are identical. Selection should be based on procurement lead time and inventory availability at the time of component sourcing.
