TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 5-179228-3 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 5-179228-3 is a 13-position rectangular connector receptacle housing designed for 2.00mm pitch applications. This component functions as a female socket receptacle for inline connector assemblies and is classified as Active product status. The housing is constructed from Polyamide (PA66) Nylon 6/6 material and operates across a temperature range of -65°C to 105°C. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are maintained, allowing for component interchangeability in applications where specific housing color or minor operational temperature variations do not impact system performance.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 5-179228-3 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector Type: Receptacle
• Contact Type: Female Socket
• Number of Positions: 13
• Pitch: 0.079" (2.00mm)
• Number of Rows: 1
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Contact Termination: Crimp
• Insulation Material: Polyamide (PA66), Nylon 6/6
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Housing Color: May vary (Yellow, Natural, or other available colors)
• Operating Temperature Range: Minimum operating temperature may vary provided the upper limit remains at or above 105°C
• RoHS Certification Status: Both RoHS Compliant and ROHS3 Compliant are acceptable

The substitute part 1-179228-3 maintains full electrical and mechanical compatibility with the main part while differing only in housing color (Natural vs. Yellow) and minimum operating temperature specification (-30°C vs. -65°C).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 5-179228-3 and 1-179228-3 are Active product status components manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors within the CT series. Selection between these parts is based on application-specific requirements:

5-179228-3 Selection Criteria:

• Applications requiring operation at temperatures below -30°C
• Systems where Yellow housing color is specified for identification or visual coding
• Designs requiring RoHS Compliant certification specifically

1-179228-3 Selection Criteria:

• Applications with minimum operating temperature requirements of -30°C or higher
• Systems where Natural housing color is acceptable or preferred
• Designs compatible with ROHS3 Compliant certification
• Higher inventory availability (14,985 pcs vs. 783 pcs)

Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical characteristics for the 13-position, 2.00mm pitch receptacle housing configuration. The choice between substitutes depends solely on environmental temperature specifications, housing color requirements, and regulatory compliance preferences.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1-179228-3 be used as a direct replacement for the 5-179228-3 in all applications?

A: The 1-179228-3 is a direct substitute for the 5-179228-3 provided the application does not require operation below -30°C. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical 13-position, 2.00mm pitch receptacle housings with identical contact configurations and termination methods.

Q: What is the difference between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are housing color (Yellow vs. Natural) and minimum operating temperature (-65°C vs. -30°C). The 1-179228-3 also carries ROHS3 Compliant certification versus RoHS Compliant for the 5-179228-3. All other electrical and mechanical parameters are identical.

Q: Are contacts included with these connector housings?

A: No. Both the 5-179228-3 and 1-179228-3 are receptacle housings only. Contacts must be sourced separately and installed via crimp termination.

Q: What is the pitch specification and why is it important?

A: The pitch is 0.079" (2.00mm), which defines the center-to-center spacing between the 13 contact positions. This specification must match the mating connector plug to ensure proper alignment and electrical connection.

Q: Can these housings be used in applications requiring temperatures below -30°C?

A: The 5-179228-3 is rated for -65°C to 105°C and is suitable for low-temperature applications. The 1-179228-3 is rated for -30°C to 105°C and is not suitable for applications below -30°C.

Q: What does MSL 1 (Unlimited) mean?

A: Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited) indicates that these components have no moisture sensitivity restrictions and do not require special handling, storage, or baking procedures prior to soldering or assembly.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The 5-179228-3 carries RoHS Compliant certification, and the 1-179228-3 carries ROHS3 Compliant certification. Both meet regulatory requirements for restricted substance compliance.
