Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 6-174215-4 is determined by strict equivalence across all electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part must maintain identical specifications in the following critical areas:

Electrical Parameters: Voltage rating (100V), current rating (1A per contact), contact material (Phosphor Bronze), and contact finish (Gold, 30.0µin).

Mechanical Parameters: Connector type (D-Type, Board to Board Plug, Female Sockets), number of positions (60), number of rows (2), shell size and pitch (0.050 Pitch x 0.100 Row to Row), mounting type (Through Hole), and termination method (Solder).

Environmental & Material Parameters: Operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C), dielectric material (PBT), flammability rating (UL94 V-0), and moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1).

The substitute part 6-5174215-4 meets all these criteria and is therefore a direct functional equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 6-5174215-4 is the direct substitute for the obsolete 6-174215-4. Both connectors are manufactured by TE Connectivity and share identical electrical, mechanical, and environmental specifications across all critical parameters.

The primary distinction between the two parts is product status and regulatory compliance. The 6-174215-4 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant, while the 6-5174215-4 is an active product with ROHS3 compliance. For new designs or system upgrades, the 6-5174215-4 is the appropriate selection. For legacy system maintenance requiring exact part replacement, the 6-5174215-4 provides full functional equivalence with the added benefit of current availability and improved regulatory standing.

Both parts are supplied in bulk packaging and maintain identical moisture sensitivity levels (MSL 1), allowing for unlimited shelf life storage without special handling requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 6-5174215-4 be used as a direct replacement for the 6-174215-4?

A: Yes. The 6-5174215-4 is a direct functional equivalent.
