TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 61174-5 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 61174-5 is an active rectangular connector pin contact designed for the Commercial MATE-N-LOK series. This component is a stamped gold-plated pin contact rated for 22-30 AWG wire gauges with crimp termination. The part is supplied in bulk packaging with 1179 pieces currently in stock.

Substitute parts are identified to provide alternative sourcing options when the primary part number is unavailable, when different packaging formats are required, or when inventory constraints necessitate component alternatives that maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 61174-5 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Series: Commercial MATE-N-LOK
• Pin or Socket: Pin
• Contact Termination: Crimp
• Wire Gauge: 22-30 AWG
• Contact Finish: Gold
• Contact Finish Thickness: 30.0µin (0.76µm)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

Variable Parameters (Non-Critical for Substitution):

• Packaging format (Bulk vs. Cut Tape)
• Type designation (Stamped vs. unspecified)
• RoHS compliance status
• Inventory availability

The substitute part 350079-5 meets all mandatory matching parameters and is therefore classified as a direct equivalent. The primary difference is packaging format: 61174-5 is supplied in bulk packaging, while 350079-5 is supplied in cut tape format.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both 61174-5 and 350079-5 are active products from TE Connectivity AMP Connectors and are suitable for applications requiring Commercial MATE-N-LOK series pin contacts with 22-30 AWG crimp termination and gold plating.

61174-5 Selection Criteria:

• Bulk packaging format required for high-volume assembly operations
• RoHS compliance not required by application specification
• Primary sourcing option with 1179 pieces in current inventory

350079-5 Selection Criteria:

• Cut tape packaging format required for automated pick-and-place assembly
• ROHS3 compliance required by application or regulatory specification
• Alternative sourcing option with 30015 pieces in current inventory
• Higher inventory availability for extended production runs

Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters. Selection between these parts is determined by packaging requirements and regulatory compliance mandates rather than functional performance differences.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 350079-5 be used as a direct replacement for 61174-5 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts are functionally equivalent across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters: wire gauge (22-30 AWG), contact termination (crimp), contact finish (gold at 30.0µin thickness), and series compatibility (Commercial MATE-N-LOK). The primary difference is packaging format.

Q: What is the significance of the packaging difference between bulk and cut tape?

A: Bulk packaging is suitable for manual assembly and small-batch operations. Cut tape packaging is designed for automated assembly equipment and high-volume production lines. The choice depends on manufacturing process requirements, not component performance.

Q: Does the RoHS3 compliance of 350079-5 affect compatibility with 61174-5?

A: No. RoHS compliance is a regulatory and supply chain attribute, not a functional specification. Both parts meet identical electrical and mechanical requirements. RoHS3 compliance of 350079-5 provides additional regulatory flexibility for applications subject to RoHS directives.

Q: Are there any wire gauge limitations when substituting between these parts?

A: No. Both parts support identical wire gauge specifications of 22-30 AWG. Crimp termination compatibility is maintained across the full range.

Q: What is the Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) rating for both parts?

A: Both 61174-5 and 350079-5 carry an MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage, handling, or assembly processes.

Q: Can these parts be intermixed in the same connector assembly?

A: Yes. Both parts are pin contacts from the same Commercial MATE-N-LOK series with identical contact geometry, finish, and termination specifications. They are mechanically and electrically interchangeable within connector housings designed for this series.
