TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 5-917697-1 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 5-917697-1 is a 13-position rectangular connector housing designed for signal applications. This plug housing accommodates female socket contacts with a 0.098" (2.50mm) pitch and operates across a temperature range of -30°C to 105°C. The connector features a locking ramp fastening mechanism and is supplied without contacts, requiring separate procurement of compatible crimp-termination contacts.

The part is classified as Active product status with ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1). Equivalent substitute parts are identified based on matching electrical and mechanical parameters that ensure direct functional interchangeability in rectangular connector applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of rectangular connector housings is determined by strict equivalence across all electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary criteria for identifying substitute parts include:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Connector type (Plug)
• Contact type (Female Socket)
• Number of positions (13)
• Pitch specification (0.098" / 2.50mm)
• Number of rows (1)
• Mounting configuration (Free Hanging In-Line)
• Contact termination method (Crimp)
• Fastening mechanism (Locking Ramp)
• Insulation material composition (Polyamide PA66, Nylon 6/6)
• Operating temperature range (-30°C ~ 105°C)
• Regulatory compliance (ROHS3)

Parts meeting all these parameters are classified as parametric equivalents and direct substitutes. The substitute part identified shares identical specifications across all functional and mechanical dimensions, ensuring seamless integration into existing connector assemblies.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the main part 5-917697-1 and the substitute part 917697-1 are classified as Active products with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts is based on availability and supply chain considerations rather than functional differences.

The substitute part 917697-1 carries higher inventory availability (3835 pieces in stock versus 1007 pieces for the main part), making it suitable for applications requiring immediate procurement or high-volume production runs. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating, ensuring regulatory conformance across industrial and commercial applications.

The Signal Double Lock series designation confirms both parts operate within the same connector family, with identical locking mechanisms, contact configurations, and temperature performance characteristics. No functional degradation or performance variation occurs when substituting between these parts.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 917697-1 be used as a direct replacement for 5-917697-1?

A: Yes. Both parts are parametric equivalents with identical specifications across all electrical and mechanical parameters. The parts are functionally interchangeable in all applications where 5-917697-1 is specified.

Q: What determines compatibility between these rectangular connector housings?

A: Compatibility is determined by matching connector type, contact type, number of positions, pitch specification, row configuration, mounting type, termination method, fastening mechanism, insulation material, operating temperature range, and regulatory compliance status. Both parts meet all these criteria identically.

Q: Are contacts included with these connector housings?

A: No. Both the main part and substitute are supplied as housings only. Contacts must be procured separately and must be compatible with crimp termination and the 0.098" (2.50mm) pitch specification.

Q: What is the significance of the Signal Double Lock series designation?

A: The Signal Double Lock series indicates the connector family and locking mechanism type. Both parts belong to this series, confirming identical fastening behavior and mechanical interface characteristics.

Q: Do these parts have different HTSUS codes?

A: Yes. The main part 5-917697-1 carries HTSUS code 8536.69.8000, while the substitute 917697-1 carries 8538.90.6000. This difference reflects tariff classification variations but does not affect functional equivalence or interchangeability.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for these connectors?

A: Both parts operate across -30°C to 105°C, suitable for industrial and commercial temperature environments.

Q: Are these parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, meeting current environmental and hazardous substance restrictions.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these parts?

A: Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage or handling.
