Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of rectangular connector receptacle housings within the Power Triple Lock series is determined by strict equivalence in the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Number of Positions: 6
• Pitch: 0.236" (6.00mm)
• Number of Rows: 2
• Row Spacing: 0.319" (8.10mm)
• Connector Type: Receptacle
• Contact Type: Tab
• Mounting Type: Panel Mount, Snap-In
• Contact Termination: Crimp
• Fastening Type: Latch Lock
• Series: Power Triple Lock, Glow Wire
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 105°C
• Insulation Material: Polyamide (PA), Nylon, Glass Filled

Allowable Variation:

• Housing Color: Brown or Gray

The substitute part 5-2232264-3 maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The only difference is the housing color (Gray versus Brown), which does not affect connector functionality, mating characteristics, or performance within the specified operating parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 6-2232264-3 and 5-2232264-3 are active production parts with RoHS compliance and identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts is based on the following criteria:

Primary Selection Criteria:

• Housing color requirement: Brown (6-2232264-3) or Gray (5-2232264-3)
• Inventory availability: 675 units (6-2232264-3) or 947 units (5-2232264-3)

Compliance Status: Both parts carry identical certifications including RoHS compliance, Glow Wire compliance, and Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited). Both are suitable for applications requiring the Power Triple Lock connector series specifications.

Functional Equivalence: The parts are functionally equivalent for all electrical and mechanical applications. The housing color difference does not affect connector performance, mating characteristics, contact engagement, or environmental performance within the specified operating temperature range of -55°C to 105°C.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 5-2232264-3 be used as a direct replacement for 6-2232264-3?

A: Yes. The 5-2232264-3 is a direct functional equivalent. Both parts share identical specifications for position count, pitch, row configuration, mounting type, contact termination, and operating temperature range. The only difference is housing color (Gray versus Brown).

Q: Does the housing color affect electrical performance?

A: No. Housing color is a cosmetic and identification feature only. It does not affect electrical conductivity, signal integrity, contact resistance, or any electrical parameter of the connector receptacle housing.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both 6-2232264-3 and 5-2232264-3 are RoHS compliant and carry identical environmental certifications.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for both parts?

A: Both parts operate across the identical temperature range of -55°C to 105°C. The insulation material (Polyamide with glass fill) and design are rated for this full range.

Q: Do these housings include contacts?

A: No. Both parts are housings only. Contacts are not included and must be ordered separately as specified in the product documentation.

Q: What is the pitch specification for these connectors?

A: Both parts feature a 0.236" (6.00mm) pitch with 2 rows spaced 0.319" (8.10mm) apart, accommodating 6 total positions in a 2-row configuration.

Q: Are there any differences in mounting between these two parts?

A: No. Both parts use identical Panel Mount and Snap-In mounting types with Latch Lock fastening.

Q: Which part should be selected based on inventory?

A: The 5-2232264-3 has higher current inventory (947 units) compared to 6-2232264-3 (675 units). If inventory availability is a consideration, the 5-2232264-3 offers greater stock depth.
