Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 5179010-2 are identified based on strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitution criteria are defined by the following parameters:

• Connector Type: Receptacle, Outer Shroud Contacts
• Number of Positions: 60
• Pitch: 0.031" (0.80mm)
• Number of Rows: 2
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Contact Finish: Gold
• Contact Finish Thickness: 8.00µin (0.203µm)
• Height Above Board: 0.463" (11.75mm)
• Mated Stacking Heights: 13mm
• Series: Free Height (FH)
• Features: Board Guide
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

Parts meeting all these parameters are classified as parametric equivalents and direct substitutes. Variations in any of these parameters result in functional or mechanical incompatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 5179010-2 and 5-5179010-2 are active production parts manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings, indicating equivalent environmental performance and regulatory compliance.

The 5-5179010-2 substitute part provides equivalent functionality with higher inventory availability at 2200 pieces compared to 1115 pieces for the main part number. Selection between these parts should be based on supply chain requirements and inventory management objectives, as all technical parameters are identical.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
