TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 347477-3 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 347477-3 is a 5-position rectangular connector housing designed for receptacle applications. This component is classified as a Multi-Lock series connector with a 0.177" (4.50mm) pitch and operates as a free-hanging in-line connector. The part is currently active in production and maintains full RoHS compliance. Substitute parts are identified to provide alternative options when the primary part number is unavailable or when specific color or compliance requirements necessitate component selection from equivalent alternatives within the same product family.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 347477-3 is determined by strict parametric equivalence across the following critical dimensions:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector Type: Receptacle
• Number of Positions: 5
• Pitch: 0.177" (4.50mm)
• Number of Rows: 1
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Contact Termination: Crimp
• Fastening Type: Latch Lock
• Insulation Material: Polyamide (PA66), Nylon 6/6
• Series: Multi-Lock
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

Variable Parameters (Non-Critical for Substitution):

• Color: Blue (347477-3) vs. White (347477-2)
• RoHS Compliance Status: RoHS Compliant (347477-3) vs. ROHS3 Compliant (347477-2)

The substitute part 347477-2 maintains complete electrical and mechanical compatibility with the main part number 347477-3. Both components share the same base product number (347477) and are manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors within the Multi-Lock series. The primary distinction between these parts is the housing color and the specific RoHS compliance certification level, neither of which affects functional interchangeability in applications where color coding is not a design requirement.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 347477-3 and 347477-2 are active production components manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors and maintain full regulatory compliance. The 347477-3 carries RoHS Compliant certification, while the 347477-2 carries ROHS3 Compliant certification. Both certifications satisfy RoHS requirements and are acceptable for applications subject to RoHS regulations.

Selection between these two parts should be based on the following criteria:

Select 347477-3 when:

• Blue housing color is specified in the design or assembly documentation
• RoHS Compliant certification is explicitly required by procurement specifications

Select 347477-2 when:

• White housing color is specified in the design or assembly documentation
• ROHS3 Compliant certification is explicitly required by procurement specifications
• The primary part number is unavailable and color coding is not a functional requirement

Both parts are electrically and mechanically interchangeable. The choice between them is determined by color requirements and specific compliance certification needs, not by functional performance or connector compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 347477-3 and 347477-2 electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts are 5-position receptacle connectors with identical pitch (0.177" / 4.50mm), mounting type (free hanging in-line), contact termination (crimp), and fastening mechanism (latch lock). They are electrically and mechanically interchangeable in all applications where color coding is not a design requirement.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two part numbers?

A: The primary differences are housing color (blue for 347477-3 vs. white for 347477-2) and RoHS compliance certification level (RoHS Compliant vs. ROHS3 Compliant). Both certifications satisfy RoHS regulatory requirements.

Q: Can I substitute 347477-2 for 347477-3 in my assembly?

A: Substitution is permissible if color coding is not a functional or design requirement. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, series designation (Multi-Lock), and regulatory compliance status. Verify that white housing does not conflict with assembly documentation or color-coded wiring standards.

Q: Are contacts included with these connector housings?

A: No. Both the 347477-3 and 347477-2 are connector housings only. Contacts are not included and must be sourced separately.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these parts?

A: Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating unlimited shelf life with no moisture sensitivity restrictions.

Q: Do these parts require special handling or storage conditions?

A: No special handling is required. MSL 1 classification means these components have unlimited moisture sensitivity level and can be stored under standard conditions without desiccant packaging or time-limited shelf life constraints.

Q: Can I use these connectors in applications requiring high-temperature operation?

A: Operating temperature specifications are not provided in the available technical parameters. Consult the detailed product datasheet or contact TE Connectivity AMP Connectors directly for thermal operating range information.

Q: Are these parts available in other colors or configurations?

A: The substitute list provided includes only the 347477-2 (white housing). For information regarding additional color options or alternative configurations within the Multi-Lock series, consult the TE Connectivity AMP Connectors product catalog or contact the manufacturer directly.
