TE Connectivity 6-2232265-2 Rectangular Connector Plug Housing Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 6-2232265-2 is a 2-position rectangular connector plug housing from the Power Triple Lock and Glow Wire series. This component is a brown polyamide (PA6/Nylon 6) housing designed for crimp termination with a 6.00mm pitch and latch lock fastening. The part is currently active in production with 758 units in stock.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent rectangular connector housings share identical electrical and mechanical specifications while differing only in color designation or minor operational parameters. Identifying equivalent parts ensures design flexibility, supply chain continuity, and component availability across manufacturing environments.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 6-2232265-2 are determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical and Mechanical Equivalence Criteria:

• Connector type (Plug)
• Number of positions (2)
• Pitch specification (0.236" / 6.00mm)
• Contact type (Female Blade Socket)
• Mounting type (Free Hanging / In-Line)
• Contact termination method (Crimp)
• Fastening type (Latch Lock)
• Insulation material (Polyamide PA6 / Nylon 6)
• Series designation (Power Triple Lock, Glow Wire)
• Compliance certifications (RoHS Compliant, MSL 1)

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Housing color (Brown, Gray, Orange)
• Operating temperature upper limit (-55°C minimum maintained; upper limit varies: 105°C or 140°C)

The substitute parts 5-2232265-2 and 8-2232265-2 maintain full electrical and mechanical compatibility with the main part number 6-2232265-2 within their respective operating temperature ranges.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

6-2232265-2 (Brown Housing)

• Primary selection for applications requiring full operating temperature range of -55°C to 140°C
• All compliance certifications active (RoHS Compliant, MSL 1)
• Current inventory: 758 units

5-2232265-2 (Gray Housing)

• Suitable for applications with maximum operating temperature of 105°C
• All compliance certifications active (RoHS Compliant, MSL 1)
• Higher inventory availability: 11,948 units
• Selection restricted to thermal environments not exceeding 105°C

8-2232265-2 (Orange Housing)

• Equivalent to main part across full operating temperature range (-55°C to 140°C)
• All compliance certifications active (RoHS Compliant, REACH Unaffected)
• Current inventory: 1,305 units
• Functionally interchangeable with 6-2232265-2 for thermal specifications

All three parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical characteristics within their respective operating temperature specifications. Selection between brown (6-2232265-2) and orange (8-2232265-2) housings for applications requiring -55°C to 140°C operation is determined by design requirements and color coding standards. The gray housing variant (5-2232265-2) is restricted to applications with maximum operating temperatures of 105°C.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 5-2232265-2 (gray) be used as a direct replacement for 6-2232265-2 (brown)?

A: The 5-2232265-2 is electrically and mechanically equivalent to 6-2232265-2 with one critical restriction: the maximum operating temperature is limited to 105°C versus 140°C for the brown housing. Direct substitution is valid only for applications where the maximum ambient or operating temperature does not exceed 105°C.

Q: Are 6-2232265-2 and 8-2232265-2 fully interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications, mechanical dimensions, pitch, contact configuration, and operating temperature range (-55°C to 140°C). The only difference is housing color (brown versus orange). They are fully interchangeable for all technical applications.

Q: What does the color designation indicate in these part numbers?

A: The color designation (brown, gray, orange) is a visual identifier for connector housing and does not affect electrical or mechanical function. Color selection is typically driven by application-specific color coding standards, circuit board design conventions, or customer specifications.

Q: Why does 5-2232265-2 have a lower maximum operating temperature?

A: The 5-2232265-2 (gray housing) is rated to 105°C maximum, while 6-2232265-2 (brown) and 8-2232265-2 (orange) are rated to 140°C. This difference is a material or manufacturing specification for the gray variant and must be observed during component selection.

Q: Are all three parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. All three parts (6-2232265-2, 5-2232265-2, and 8-2232265-2) are RoHS Compliant with MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited moisture sensitivity level).

Q: What is the significance of the base product number 2232265?

A: The base product number 2232265 identifies the core connector housing design family. The prefix digits (6, 5, 8) differentiate color variants while maintaining the same fundamental electrical and mechanical specifications.

Q: Can contacts be purchased separately for these housings?

A: The product specification indicates "Contacts Not Included." Contacts must be sourced separately and must be compatible with the 6.00mm pitch, female blade socket configuration, and crimp termination method specified for this connector series.

Q: What is the difference in inventory availability between these parts?

A: Current inventory levels are: 5-2232265-2 (gray) has 11,948 units, 8-2232265-2 (orange) has 1,305 units, and 6-2232265-2 (brown) has 758 units. Inventory levels may influence component selection when supply continuity is a consideration.
