Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete 5-2232358-3 with the active 5-2232263-3 is based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence within the Power Triple Lock, Glow Wire connector series. Both parts maintain identical specifications across the following critical parameters:

• 3-position receptacle housing configuration
• 6.00mm (0.236") contact pitch
• Tab contact type with crimp termination
• Latch lock fastening mechanism
• Gray polyamide glass-filled insulation material
• Glow Wire compliance certification
• Operating temperature range of -55°C to 105°C
• Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited)

The primary difference between these parts is the mounting type: the 5-2232358-3 is configured for free-hanging inline mounting, while the 5-2232263-3 is designed for panel mount snap-in applications. This distinction affects physical installation method but does not alter electrical or contact interface compatibility. The 5-2232263-3 is currently in active production status with significantly higher inventory availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 5-2232263-3 serves as a direct functional substitute for the obsolete 5-2232358-3 based on electrical and mechanical compatibility. The substitute part is currently in active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.

The 5-2232263-3 carries RoHS compliance certification, which provides additional environmental and regulatory alignment for applications subject to RoHS requirements. Both parts maintain identical contact interface specifications, operating temperature ratings, and Glow Wire compliance certifications.

The primary consideration for part selection is the mounting configuration requirement. The 5-2232263-3 is designed for panel mount snap-in installation, whereas the original 5-2232358-3 was configured for free-hanging inline mounting. Design integration must account for this mechanical difference when transitioning between these parts.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 5-2232358-3 and 5-2232263-3 electrically compatible?

A: Yes. Both parts are 3-position receptacle housings with identical 6.00mm pitch, tab contact type, crimp termination, and latch lock fastening. The electrical interface and contact specifications are equivalent.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two connector housings?

A: The mounting type differs. The 5-2232358-3 is designed for free-hanging inline mounting, while the 5-2232263-3 is configured for panel mount snap-in applications. This affects physical installation method but not electrical compatibility.

Q: Can I use the 5-2232263-3 in place of the 5-2232358-3 in my existing design?

A: Substitution is possible if your application can accommodate the panel mount snap-in mounting configuration. If your design requires free-hanging inline mounting, the mechanical installation method will require modification.

Q: Does the 5-2232263-3 have better compliance certifications than the 5-2232358-3?

A: The 5-2232263-3 carries RoHS compliance certification, while the RoHS status of the 5-2232358-3 is not specified. Both parts are Glow Wire compliant and rated for identical operating temperature ranges.

Q: What is the inventory status of these parts?

A: The 5-2232358-3 is obsolete with 916 pieces in stock. The 5-2232263-3 is in active production with 5,264 pieces in stock, providing superior long-term availability.

Q: Are the insulation materials identical between these parts?

A: Both parts use polyamide glass-filled insulation material. The 5-2232358-3 specifies PA6 (Nylon 6), while the 5-2232263-3 specifies PA (Nylon). Both materials meet the same operating temperature and environmental specifications.

Q: Do these connectors include contacts?

A: No. Both the 5-2232358-3 and 5-2232263-3 are housing-only components. Contacts must be sourced separately and installed via crimp termination.
