Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 4-176264-6 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mechanical Compatibility:

• Connector type (Header, Breakaway)
• Contact type (Male Pin)
• Number of positions (46)
• Number of rows (2)
• Pitch - mating (0.079" / 2.00mm)
• Row spacing - mating (0.079" / 2.00mm)
• Mounting type (Through Hole)
• Termination method (Solder)

Electrical Compatibility:

• Contact finish - mating (Gold)
• Operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 105°C)
• Voltage rating (200VAC)
• Material flammability rating (UL94 V-0)

Acceptable Variations:

• Contact finish - post: Tin-Lead or Tin (both acceptable for solder termination)
• Product status: Active substitutes preferred over obsolete originals
• RoHS compliance: Upgrades to RoHS3 compliant versions are acceptable

Parts meeting all mechanical and electrical criteria are classified as direct substitutes. Variations in post finish and compliance certifications do not affect functional interchangeability in the specified application.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 4-5176264-6 is a direct functional substitute for the obsolete 4-176264-6. Both parts are manufactured by TE Connectivity within the AMPMODU series and share identical mechanical and electrical specifications across all critical parameters.

Primary Advantages of 4-5176264-6:

The substitute part carries Active product status, ensuring continued availability and manufacturing support. The 4-5176264-6 achieves ROHS3 compliance, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements, whereas the original 4-176264-6 is RoHS non-compliant.

Post Finish Consideration:

The contact finish on the post differs between the two parts: the original uses Tin-Lead while the substitute uses Tin. Both finishes are compatible with solder termination processes and do not affect electrical or mechanical interchangeability. The Tin finish in the substitute part aligns with modern lead-free manufacturing standards.

Inventory and Procurement:

The 4-5176264-6 maintains higher inventory availability (979 pieces in stock) compared to the original part (762 pieces), supporting consistent procurement and supply chain reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 4-5176264-6 be used as a direct replacement for the 4-176264-6 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 4-5176264-6 is a direct substitute with identical mechanical and electrical specifications. All contact dimensions, pitch spacing, mounting configuration, and electrical ratings match the original part. No design modifications are required.

Q: What is the difference between Tin-Lead and Tin post finishes?

A: Both finishes are compatible with solder termination and provide equivalent electrical performance. Tin-Lead (original) and Tin (substitute) differ in composition but function identically in through-hole solder applications. The Tin finish in the substitute aligns with lead-free manufacturing practices.

Q: Does the RoHS3 compliance of the 4-5176264-6 affect compatibility?

A: No. RoHS3 compliance is an environmental and regulatory certification that does not alter the connector's functional characteristics. The substitute part meets current regulatory requirements while maintaining full compatibility with the original design.

Q: Are the contact dimensions identical between both parts?

A: Yes. Contact length for mating (0.157" / 4.00mm), contact length for post (0.102" / 2.60mm), and overall contact length (0.319" / 8.10mm) are identical. Insulation height (0.059" / 1.50mm) and contact shape (square) are also identical.

Q: What is the pitch spacing for these connectors?

A: Both the 4-176264-6 and 4-5176264-6 feature a mating pitch of 0.079" (2.00mm) with row spacing of 0.079" (2.00mm). This 2.00mm pitch is consistent across all 46 positions arranged in 2 rows.

Q: Can these connectors operate in the same temperature range?

A: Yes. Both parts operate across the identical temperature range of -40°C to 105°C, supporting applications in standard industrial and commercial environments.

Q: What mounting method do these connectors use?

A: Both connectors use through-hole mounting with solder termination. The breakaway header design allows for flexible configuration while maintaining secure board-level attachment.

Q: Is the voltage rating the same for both parts?

A: Yes. Both the 4-176264-6 and 4-5176264-6 carry a voltage rating of 200VAC, supporting equivalent electrical load specifications.
