Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 5-2232360-4 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type: Receptacle housing
• Number of Positions: 12
• Pitch: 0.236" (6.00mm)
• Number of Rows: 3
• Row Spacing: 0.319" (8.10mm)
• Contact Type: Tab
• Contact Termination: Crimp
• Fastening Type: Latch Lock
• Color: Gray
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

The substitute part 5-2232356-4 maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters required for direct functional equivalence. The primary distinction lies in mounting type and product status: the substitute transitions from free hanging (in-line) mounting to panel mount snap-in configuration, and from obsolete to active product status. Both parts are manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors and share the same base contact interface specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 5-2232356-4 serves as the direct functional equivalent for the obsolete 5-2232360-4. Selection of the substitute part is based on the following engineering criteria:

Product Status: The 5-2232356-4 maintains active product status with TE Connectivity AMP Connectors, ensuring continued availability, technical support, and supply chain reliability. The original part 5-2232360-4 is classified as obsolete, creating procurement risk for new designs and production requirements.

Electrical and Mechanical Compatibility: Both parts maintain identical specifications across all critical parameters: 12-position receptacle housing, 6.00mm pitch, 3-row configuration with 8.10mm row spacing, tab contact type, crimp termination, and latch lock fastening. Contact interface geometry and electrical performance are equivalent.

Compliance and Certifications: The substitute part 5-2232356-4 carries ROHS3 compliance certification, providing enhanced environmental and regulatory alignment. Both parts maintain EAR99 export classification and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity rating.

Mounting Configuration Consideration: The substitute part transitions from free hanging (in-line) mounting to panel mount snap-in configuration. This difference requires evaluation of the specific application mounting requirements. If the original design requires in-line mounting, the mounting type change necessitates mechanical redesign of the connector interface.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5-2232356-4 directly replace the 5-2232360-4 in existing assemblies?

A: The 5-2232356-4 provides electrical and mechanical equivalence for contact interface specifications. However, the mounting type differs: the original part uses free hanging (in-line) mounting, while the substitute uses panel mount snap-in configuration. Direct physical replacement requires compatibility with the new mounting method.

Q: What are the key parameters that define substitution eligibility?

A: Substitution is determined by equivalence in connector type (receptacle), number of positions (12), pitch (6.00mm), row configuration (3 rows, 8.10mm spacing), contact type (tab), termination method (crimp), and fastening type (latch lock). All these parameters are identical between the main part and substitute.

Q: Why is the 5-2232360-4 classified as obsolete?

A: Product status is determined by manufacturer classification. The 5-2232360-4 is listed as obsolete by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors, indicating discontinued production and limited availability. The 5-2232356-4 is the active equivalent product.

Q: Are there differences in insulation material specifications?

A: The 5-2232356-4 specifies polyamide (PA6) nylon 6 glass-filled insulation material with operating temperature range of -55°C to 105°C. The 5-2232360-4 does not provide detailed insulation material specifications in the available documentation.

Q: What is the inventory status for these parts?

A: The 5-2232360-4 has 943 pieces in stock as new original inventory. The 5-2232356-4 has 1007 pieces in stock as new original inventory in bulk packaging.

Q: Do both parts require separate contact procurement?

A: Both the 5-2232360-4 and 5-2232356-4 are receptacle housings supplied without contacts included. Crimp contacts must be procured separately and are compatible with both housing types based on the identical contact interface specifications.

Q: What is the difference in packaging between these parts?

A: The 5-2232360-4 packaging specification is not provided in the available data. The 5-2232356-4 is supplied in bulk packaging.
