Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 368572-1 be used as a direct replacement for 5-179464-1?

A: Yes. The substitute part 368572-1 is directly interchangeable with 5-179464-1. Both parts share identical specifications for number of positions (3), pitch (0.156" / 3.96mm), connector type (Receptacle), contact termination (Crimp), fastening type (Latch Lock), and operating temperature range (-30°C ~ 105°C). Both are members of the Power Double Lock connector series manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: The main part 5-179464-1 is classified as obsolete. The substitute part 368572-1 is an active product with current manufacturing status, ensuring continued availability for procurement and system maintenance.

Q: Are there any differences in compliance certifications?

A: Both parts carry equivalent regulatory certifications. The main part is RoHS3 Compliant, while the substitute is RoHS Compliant. Both maintain identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8538.90.6000) classifications. The substitute part's REACH status is listed as Vendor Undefined, compared to REACH Unaffected for the main part; however, this does not affect substitution compatibility.

Q: Does the substitute part require different contact specifications?

A: No. Both parts use identical crimp termination contacts with 0.156" (3.96mm) pitch spacing. The substitute part specification notes that contacts are not included; however, this is consistent with housing-only component procurement practices.

Q: What is the packaging difference?

A: The substitute part 368572-1 is supplied in Bulk packaging, whereas the main part packaging specification was not provided. This difference does not affect functional or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Are the insulation materials compatible?

A: The substitute part 368572-1 specifies Polyamide (PA66), Nylon 6/6 insulation material. This material is standard for the Power Double Lock series and is compatible with all associated contacts and mating components.

Q: What is the mounting configuration?

A: The substitute part 368572-1 is configured for Free Hanging (In-Line) mounting, which is the standard mounting type for Power Double Lock receptacle housings in this position count and pitch specification.
