Substitute parts are grouped into two categories:

Category 1: TE Connectivity EI Series (Same Base Series) Parts 2-171822-4, 171822-4, and 4-171822-4 share identical electrical specifications, insulation material, and temperature range with the main part. These differ only in housing color (black, natural, or blue) and maintain the same base product number 171822.

Category 2: TE Connectivity Alternative Series Parts 172142-4, 440133-4, and 92009-4 maintain all core electrical and mechanical parameters but originate from different product series (EI, HPI, and MIS respectively). These parts accommodate extended operating temperature ranges and alternative compliance certifications.

Category 3: Cross-Manufacturer Equivalent Part EHR-4 from JST Sales America Inc. provides functional equivalence with identical pitch, position count, and contact configuration, though with a slightly reduced maximum operating temperature of 85°C.

Category 4: TE Connectivity Micro Quadlok Series Part 1-1534150-1 maintains core electrical specifications but uses polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) glass-filled insulation material and operates across -40°C to 80°C, representing a material and temperature profile variation.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Substitutes (Highest Compatibility):

Parts 2-171822-4, 171822-4, and 4-171822-4 provide direct functional equivalence to the 6-171822-4. These components share identical electrical specifications, insulation material composition, and operating temperature range. Selection among these three is determined by housing color requirements and inventory availability. Part 171822-4 (natural color) offers the highest inventory level at 1,000,300 pieces.

Extended Temperature Range Alternatives:

Parts 440133-4 and 92009-4 maintain all core electrical and mechanical parameters while extending the maximum operating temperature to 105°C and minimum to -25°C. These parts are suitable for applications requiring enhanced thermal performance. Both parts carry ROHS3 compliance certification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I substitute 171822-4 for 6-171822-4 if the application only requires green housing?

A: No. While 171822-4 provides electrical and mechanical equivalence, it is manufactured in natural color. The 6-171822-4 is specified in green. If green housing is a functional requirement, use 6-171822-4 or 4-171822-4 (blue alternative). If color is cosmetic only, 171822-4 is electrically equivalent.

Q: What is the difference between parts 440133-4 and 92009-4?

A: Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications with extended operating temperature ranges (-25°C to 105°C). The primary differences are series designation (HPI versus MIS) and inventory availability. Part 440133-4 has 42,283 pieces in stock versus 1,311 pieces for 92009-4. Both carry RoHS compliance.

Q: Is EHR-4 from JST a direct replacement for 6-171822-4?

A: EHR-4 provides functional equivalence for the core electrical and mechanical parameters (4 positions, 2.50mm pitch, crimp termination, female socket contacts). However, the maximum operating temperature is 85°C compared to 95°C for the main part. EHR-4 is suitable for applications operating below 85°C. The manufacturer is different (JST versus TE Connectivity).

Q: Why would I select 1-1534150-1 over other substitutes?

A: Part 1-1534150-1 is selected when polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) glass-filled insulation material is required instead of polyamide (PA66). This part also provides extended low-temperature operation to -40°C. Maximum operating temperature is 80°C. Selection is application-specific based on material requirements.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. All substitute parts listed carry either RoHS Compliant or ROHS3 Compliant certification. Part 172142-4 carries ROHS3 Compliant status with REACH Affected designation, providing enhanced regulatory compliance for applications subject to REACH requirements.

Q: What is the inventory advantage of selecting 171822-4?

A: Part 171822-4 (natural color, EI series) maintains 1,000,300 pieces in inventory, significantly exceeding all other substitutes. This part is electrically and mechanically identical to 6-171822-4 and provides the highest availability for high-volume applications.

Q: Can I use 440133-4 in place of 6-171822-4 for a wider temperature range application?

A: Yes. Part 440133-4 maintains all core electrical and mechanical specifications while extending the operating temperature range to -25°C to 105°C. This part is suitable for applications requiring operation beyond the -20°C to 95°C range of the main part. ROHS3 compliance is provided.

Q: What does Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited) mean for these parts?

A: MSL 1 (Unlimited) indicates that these connector housings have no moisture sensitivity restrictions. The parts do not require special moisture-controlled storage or handling procedures and can be stored and handled under standard environmental conditions.

Q: Are contacts included with these connector housings?

A: No. All parts listed, including the main part 6-171822-4 and all substitutes, are connector housings only. Contacts are not included and must be sourced separately. Ensure selected contacts are compatible with 2.50mm pitch and crimp termination specifications.
