Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 4-2172079-2 is determined by alignment of the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Series: M12
• Number of Positions: 5
• Shell Size - Insert: M12-5
• Termination: Solder
• Fastening Type: Threaded
• Shielding: Shielded
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C ~ 85°C
• RoHS Compliance: RoHS Compliant

Functional Compatibility Parameters:

• Current Rating: 4A minimum
• Voltage Rating: Must support application requirements
• Ingress Protection: IP67 or higher acceptable
• Mounting Type: Panel Mount, Through Hole, Right Angle

The substitute part T4145035051-001 meets these criteria with the following considerations: it is classified as active product status, maintains M12-5 configuration with 5 positions, supports 4A current rating, and provides IP67 ingress protection. The primary functional difference is the connector type designation (Plug versus Receptacle) and voltage rating specification (60V versus 125VAC/DC).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Product Status Consideration: The 4-2172079-2 is classified as obsolete. The substitute part T4145035051-001 carries active product status, ensuring continued availability, manufacturing support, and compliance with current regulatory standards.

Compliance and Certification: Both parts maintain RoHS compliance. The 4-2172079-2 is REACH Affected, while the T4145035051-001 status is listed as Vendor Undefined for REACH. Both parts carry ECCN classification EAR99 and identical HTSUS codes (8536.69.4020).

Electrical Specifications: The substitute part operates at 60V maximum, compared to the original part's 125VAC/DC rating. Applications requiring voltages exceeding 60V are not suitable for the T4145035051-001 substitute. Current rating remains constant at 4A for both parts.

Environmental Protection: The original part provides IP68 ingress protection (dust tight, waterproof). The substitute provides IP67 protection (dust tight, waterproof). IP67 is acceptable for most industrial and automotive applications where IP68 is not explicitly required.

Connector Configuration: The substitute part is designated as a Plug configuration with female sockets, while the original is a Receptacle with female sockets. This distinction affects mating interface design and must be evaluated within the complete connector system architecture.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can T4145035051-001 directly replace 4-2172079-2 in all applications?

A: Direct replacement depends on application voltage requirements. The substitute part is rated for 60V maximum, while the original supports 125VAC/DC. Applications operating above 60V require the original part or alternative solutions. Both parts maintain identical current rating (4A), operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C), and M12-5 configuration.

Q: What is the difference between Receptacle and Plug connector types in this context?

A: The 4-2172079-2 is a Receptacle type, while T4145035051-001 is a Plug type. Both feature female sockets for mating contacts. The connector type designation affects the physical interface and mounting configuration within the overall system. Verify mating connector compatibility before substitution.

Q: Does the IP67 rating of the substitute part meet requirements for the original IP68 specification?

A: IP67 provides dust tight and waterproof protection suitable for most industrial and automotive environments. IP68 offers continuous immersion capability. If the application requires continuous immersion protection, the IP67-rated substitute may not be appropriate. Evaluate specific environmental exposure conditions.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes, both the 4-2172079-2 and T4145035051-001 are RoHS compliant. This ensures compliance with European Union Restriction of Hazardous Substances regulations for new designs and replacements.

Q: What is the inventory status for these parts?

A: The 4-2172079-2 (obsolete) has 757 pieces in stock. The T4145035051-001 (active) has 1030 pieces available in tray packaging. Active product status for the substitute ensures ongoing availability for future requirements.

Q: Are the shell materials compatible between these parts?

A: The 4-2172079-2 features a brass shell with nickel finish. The T4145035051-001 uses copper alloy with nickel finish. Both materials provide equivalent shielding and environmental protection characteristics. Contact finish (gold) and color (silver) remain consistent across both parts.

Q: What packaging format is available for the substitute part?

A: The T4145035051-001 is supplied in tray packaging. The original part packaging format is not specified in the provided data. Verify packaging requirements for your procurement and assembly processes.
