TE Connectivity 5-179228-2 Rectangular Connector Receptacle Housing - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 5-179228-2 is a 12-position rectangular connector receptacle housing with 2.00mm pitch, designed for free-hanging in-line applications. This yellow polyamide (PA66) housing accommodates female socket contacts via crimp termination and operates across the temperature range of -65°C to 105°C. The part is Active in product status and RoHS Compliant. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are required but alternative color options, series variants, or manufacturer alternatives are acceptable for system integration.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 5-179228-2 is determined by the following core parameters: 12-position receptacle configuration, 2.00mm pitch, female socket contact type, crimp termination, and free-hanging in-line mounting. All identified substitute parts maintain these electrical and mechanical specifications. Variations in color, insulation material composition, operating temperature range, series designation, and manufacturer do not affect functional interchangeability within the connector interface itself. Substitutes are grouped by series family and material composition to facilitate selection based on application-specific environmental and compliance requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

TE Connectivity CT Series (Same Manufacturer, Same Series): Parts 1-179228-2 and 3-179228-2 maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the 5-179228-2 within the CT series family. Both are Active products with RoHS compliance. The 1-179228-2 (Natural color) achieves ROHS3 Compliant status and supports the full upper operating temperature of 105°C. The 3-179228-2 (Blue color) maintains RoHS Compliant status. Selection between these CT series variants is based on color coding requirements and compliance tier preference.

TE Connectivity High Performance Interconnect (HPI) Series: Parts 1-440129-2 and 1-1470201-2 represent alternative series within TE Connectivity's product portfolio. Both employ thermoplastic insulation material and achieve ROHS3 Compliant status. Operating temperature range is reduced to -25°C ~ 85°C for the 1-440129-2. The 1-1470201-2 does not specify operating temperature range. These parts are suitable for applications where HPI series integration is preferred and temperature operating envelope permits.

Harwin Inc. M22 Series: Part M22-3011200 provides cross-manufacturer substitution with identical 12-position, 2.00mm pitch receptacle configuration. This part achieves ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected status. Operating temperature range is -25°C ~ 85°C. Selection of this alternative is appropriate when multi-source supply chain strategy or Harwin-specific design requirements are present.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1-179228-2 directly replace the 5-179228-2 in all applications? A: The 1-179228-2 maintains identical electrical and mechanical interface specifications (12 positions, 2.00mm pitch, female socket, crimp termination, free-hanging mounting). The primary difference is color (Natural vs. Yellow) and operating temperature lower limit (-30°C vs. -65°C). Direct substitution is valid for applications operating above -30°C where color differentiation is not a functional requirement.

Q: What is the functional difference between CT series and HPI series housings? A: Both series maintain the same 12-position, 2.00mm pitch receptacle interface. The CT series uses Polyamide (PA66) insulation material and supports -65°C to 105°C operating range. The HPI series uses Thermoplastic insulation and operates within -25°C to 85°C. Series selection depends on environmental temperature requirements and material compatibility specifications.

Q: Is the Harwin M22-3011200 electrically compatible with the TE Connectivity 5-179228-2? A: The M22-3011200 maintains identical 12-position receptacle configuration, 2.00mm pitch, female socket contact type, and crimp termination. Electrical interface compatibility is established. Operating temperature range differs (-25°C ~ 85°C vs. -65°C ~ 105°C). Cross-manufacturer substitution is valid when temperature operating envelope and supply chain requirements permit.

Q: Why do some substitute parts show different RoHS compliance levels? A: RoHS Compliant and ROHS3 Compliant represent different regulatory compliance certifications. Both statuses indicate conformance to hazardous substance restrictions. ROHS3 Compliant represents updated certification status. Both are acceptable for RoHS-regulated applications; selection depends on specific regulatory documentation requirements.

Q: Are contacts included with these receptacle housings? A: All listed parts specify "Contacts Not Included." Receptacle housings must be paired with appropriate female socket contacts during assembly. Contact selection must match the 2.00mm pitch and crimp termination specifications.

Q: What is Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) 1, and why is it significant? A: MSL 1 (Unlimited) indicates the component has unlimited shelf life without special moisture control storage requirements. All listed substitute parts carry MSL 1 rating, eliminating moisture sensitivity as a differentiation factor in substitution decisions.
