Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 6-175778-7 are qualified based on strict parametric equivalence across the following critical dimensions:

Electrical Parameters:

• Connector type (Receptacle)
• Contact type (Female Socket)
• Number of positions (7)
• Pitch specification (0.079" / 2.00mm)
• Contact termination method (Crimp)

Mechanical Parameters:

• Number of rows (1)
• Mounting configuration (Free Hanging / In-Line)
• Insulation material (Polyamide PA66 / Nylon 6/6)
• Color (Black)

Environmental & Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS compliance status
• Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL 1)
• Operating temperature range compatibility

The substitute part 6-179228-7 maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters. Variations in operating temperature range and RoHS certification version do not affect functional interchangeability within the specified application envelope.

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.
