Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 61314-5 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Series: Socket contact within the Commercial MATE-N-LOK series
• Termination Method: Crimp termination only
• Wire Gauge Compatibility: 18-24 AWG range
• Contact Material & Finish: Gold plating at 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness
• Moisture Sensitivity: MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating
• Product Status: Active status ensuring continued availability and support

The substitute part 60617-5 maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters identical to the main part. The primary difference is packaging configuration: the main part is supplied in Tape & Reel format, while the substitute is supplied in Bulk packaging. Both parts are manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors and are fully interchangeable at the component level.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 61314-5 and 60617-5 are active products manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors with identical electrical and mechanical specifications for socket contact functionality within the Commercial MATE-N-LOK series.

61314-5 Selection Criteria: Choose this part when Tape & Reel packaging is required for automated assembly processes or when specific packaging format is mandated by procurement specifications.

60617-5 Selection Criteria: Choose this part when Bulk packaging is acceptable and higher inventory availability is advantageous. This part carries ROHS3 compliance certification, which may be required for applications subject to RoHS regulations.

Both parts are suitable for 18-24 AWG crimp termination applications with gold contact finish specifications. The selection between these parts should be based on packaging requirements and regulatory compliance needs rather than electrical performance, as both deliver identical contact performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are 61314-5 and 60617-5 electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts are socket contacts with identical wire gauge ratings (18-24 AWG), crimp termination, gold finish at 30.0µin thickness, and MSL 1 rating. They perform identically in electrical applications.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The main difference is packaging format. The 61314-5 is supplied in Tape & Reel packaging, while the 60617-5 is supplied in Bulk packaging. Additionally, the 60617-5 carries ROHS3 compliance certification.

Q: Can I use 60617-5 in place of 61314-5 in automated assembly?

A: Bulk packaging (60617-5) is not compatible with tape-fed automated assembly equipment designed for Tape & Reel format (61314-5). Manual handling or alternative feeding systems would be required.

Q: Does RoHS compliance status affect component performance?

A: RoHS compliance status does not affect electrical or mechanical performance. The 60617-5 ROHS3 compliance indicates material composition restrictions for environmental and regulatory purposes. Selection should be based on application regulatory requirements.

Q: Are both parts currently available?

A: Yes. The 61314-5 has 780 pieces in stock, and the 60617-5 has 6381 pieces in stock. Both maintain active product status.

Q: Can I mix 61314-5 and 60617-5 in the same connector assembly?

A: Yes. Since both parts are identical socket contacts within the Commercial MATE-N-LOK series, they can be used interchangeably within the same connector assembly without performance degradation.
