Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Part Selection (6-175778-7): The 6-175778-7 is the primary specification for applications requiring RoHS Compliant rectangular connector receptacles with standard operating temperature range of -30°C to 105°C. This part maintains Active product status with established supply chain availability.

Substitute Part Selection (6-179228-7): The 6-179228-7 serves as a direct parametric equivalent with ROHS3 Compliant certification. This substitute is appropriate for applications requiring extended lower operating temperature performance (-65°C minimum) or when ROHS3 compliance is mandated by design or regulatory requirements. The substitute maintains identical electrical and mechanical interface specifications, ensuring direct form-fit-function compatibility.

Selection Criteria:

  • Select 6-175778-7 when standard RoHS compliance and -30°C to 105°C operating range satisfy application requirements
  • Select 6-179228-7 when extended low-temperature operation below -30°C is required or when ROHS3 certification is specified
  • Both parts are interchangeable from electrical and mechanical perspectives within their respective operating temperature envelopes

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 6-175778-7 and 6-179228-7 directly interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts are identical in electrical and mechanical specifications including connector type, contact configuration, pitch, mounting method, and insulation material. The substitute part 6-179228-7 extends the lower operating temperature limit to -65°C and carries ROHS3 certification versus RoHS Compliant status on the primary part.

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

A: The operating temperature range and RoHS certification version differ. The 6-175778-7 operates from -30°C to 105°C with RoHS Compliant status. The 6-179228-7 operates from -65°C to 105°C with ROHS3 Compliant status. All other specifications are identical.

Q: Can I use the 6-179228-7 in place of the 6-175778-7 in my application?

A: Yes, provided your application does not require operation below -30°C. The substitute part maintains all electrical and mechanical interface requirements and is RoHS compliant. If your application operates within the -30°C to 105°C range, either part is suitable.

Q: Do these connector housings include contacts?

A: No. Both the 6-175778-7 and 6-179228-7 are receptacle housings only. Contacts are not included and must be sourced separately as specified for your application.

Q: What is the pitch specification and why is it important?

A: The pitch is 0.079 inches (2.00mm), which defines the center-to-center spacing between connector positions. This specification must match the mating connector and contact specifications to ensure proper electrical and mechanical connection.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The 6-175778-7 carries RoHS Compliant certification. The 6-179228-7 carries ROHS3 Compliant certification. Both meet RoHS requirements; ROHS3 represents a more recent certification standard.

Q: What mounting configuration do these parts support?

A: Both parts are configured for Free Hanging (In-Line) mounting, meaning they are designed for direct inline connector assembly without requiring panel or PCB mounting fixtures.

Q: What is the Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) and what does it mean?

A: Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating unlimited shelf life without moisture control requirements. These components do not require special moisture-controlled storage or handling procedures.
