TE Connectivity 5-1123722-8 Rectangular Connector Plug Housing: Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 5-1123722-8 is an 8-position rectangular connector plug housing designed for the Economy Power series. This component serves as the housing interface for crimp-terminated female socket contacts in free-hanging, in-line applications. The part is manufactured from polyamide (PA66) nylon 6/6 material and operates across a temperature range of -25°C to 105°C. The connector features a 0.156" (3.96mm) pitch configuration with latch lock fastening. This part is currently active in production status with ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are maintained across the connector housing specification, allowing for direct functional replacement in circuit assemblies.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the TE Connectivity 5-1123722-8 rectangular connector plug housing are identified based on strict equivalence of the following critical parameters:

Electrical Parameters:

• Connector type (Plug)
• Contact type (Female Socket)
• Number of positions (8)
• Pitch specification (0.156" / 3.96mm)
• Number of rows (1)
• Contact termination method (Crimp)
• Fastening mechanism (Latch Lock)

Mechanical Parameters:

• Mounting configuration (Free Hanging, In-Line)
• Insulation material (Polyamide PA66, Nylon 6/6)
• Operating temperature range (-25°C ~ 105°C)

Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS3 compliance status
• Moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1)

The substitute part 1-1123722-8 maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the primary part 5-1123722-8. The only variation between these parts is the housing color (Black versus Natural), which does not affect functional performance or electrical characteristics. Both parts share the same base product number (1123722) and series designation (Economy Power), confirming their interchangeability in applications where connector housing color is not a design constraint.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the primary part 5-1123722-8 and the substitute part 1-1123722-8 are active production components manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors. Both parts maintain full ROHS3 compliance and carry an MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage or handling.

The parts are functionally equivalent across all electrical and mechanical parameters. Selection between these two parts should be based solely on housing color requirements specified in the application design. The black housing variant (5-1123722-8) and natural housing variant (1-1123722-8) are interchangeable from a performance and compatibility standpoint when color specification is not a constraint.

Both parts are supplied in bulk packaging and are currently in stock. The substitute part 1-1123722-8 maintains higher inventory availability (1900 pieces) compared to the primary part 5-1123722-8 (1012 pieces), which may influence procurement decisions based on lead time and supply chain requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1-1123722-8 (Natural) be used as a direct replacement for the 5-1123722-8 (Black)?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent. They share identical specifications for connector type, contact configuration, pitch, mounting method, termination type, and operating temperature range. The only difference is housing color. Direct substitution is valid when color specification is not a design requirement.

Q: Are the contact positions and pitch identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both parts feature 8 positions with a 0.156" (3.96mm) pitch in a single-row configuration. The contact spacing and arrangement are identical, ensuring compatibility with the same contact sets and mating connectors.

Q: Do both parts support the same crimp termination process?

A: Yes. Both the 5-1123722-8 and 1-1123722-8 use crimp contact termination. They are compatible with the same crimp tools and contact specifications for the Economy Power series.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for both parts?

A: Both parts operate across the identical temperature range of -25°C to 105°C. This specification applies to the polyamide (PA66) nylon 6/6 housing material used in both variants.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts carry identical ROHS3 compliance status and MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings. They are equivalent from a regulatory and environmental standpoint.

Q: What is the fastening mechanism for these connector housings?

A: Both parts use latch lock fastening. This mechanism provides secure mating between plug and receptacle connectors in the Economy Power series.

Q: Can these parts be used in free-hanging applications?

A: Yes. Both parts are specified for free-hanging (in-line) mounting, allowing installation without additional mounting hardware or brackets.

Q: Are contacts included with these connector housings?

A: No. Both parts are supplied as housings only. Contacts must be sourced separately and crimped into the housing according to TE Connectivity specifications.
