TE Connectivity 6-2232265-7 Rectangular Connector Plug Housing Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 6-2232265-7 is a 5-position rectangular connector plug housing from the Power Triple Lock and Glow Wire series. This component serves as the housing assembly for crimp-terminated female blade socket contacts in free-hanging inline applications. The part is actively manufactured and maintains full RoHS compliance with MSL 1 rating, indicating unlimited shelf life under standard storage conditions. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are required for design flexibility, inventory management, or supply chain continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of rectangular connector plug housings is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility Parameters:

• Number of positions (5 positions required)
• Pitch spacing (0.236" / 6.00mm required)
• Contact type (Female Blade Socket required)
• Contact termination method (Crimp required)

Mechanical Compatibility Parameters:

• Connector type (Plug required)
• Fastening type (Latch Lock required)
• Mounting type (Free Hanging In-Line required)
• Insulation material (Polyamide PA6 / Nylon 6 required)

Compliance and Environmental Parameters:

• Series compatibility (Power Triple Lock, Glow Wire series)
• RoHS compliance status
• MSL rating

The substitute part 5-2232265-7 maintains equivalence across all electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary difference is the housing color (Gray versus Brown) and the maximum operating temperature specification. Color variation does not affect electrical or mechanical function. Operating temperature differences must be evaluated against specific application requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 6-2232265-7 and 5-2232265-7 are active products manufactured by TE Connectivity with full RoHS compliance and MSL 1 ratings. Selection between these parts is based on application-specific thermal requirements and visual identification needs.

Primary Part Selection (6-2232265-7): Select this part for applications requiring the full operating temperature range of -55°C to 140°C. The brown housing color provides visual distinction in multi-connector assemblies.

Substitute Part Selection (5-2232265-7): Select this part for applications with maximum operating temperatures not exceeding 105°C. The gray housing color provides alternative visual identification. This part offers higher current inventory availability (988 pieces versus 772 pieces).

Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including 5-position configuration, 6.00mm pitch, crimp termination, and latch lock fastening. The choice between them depends solely on thermal operating range requirements and color coding preferences for the specific application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 5-2232265-7 be used as a direct replacement for 6-2232265-7?

A: The 5-2232265-7 is electrically and mechanically equivalent to 6-2232265-7 for applications operating at temperatures not exceeding 105°C. The main part supports operation up to 140°C. Verify your application's maximum operating temperature before substitution.

Q: What is the difference between these two connector housings?

A: The parts differ in housing color (Brown versus Gray) and maximum operating temperature specification (140°C versus 105°C). All electrical and mechanical parameters are identical, including position count, pitch, contact type, termination method, and fastening mechanism.

Q: Are the contacts included with these housings?

A: No. Both part numbers specify "Contacts Not Included." Contacts must be ordered separately and crimped into the housing according to TE Connectivity specifications.

Q: Do both parts meet RoHS compliance requirements?

A: Yes. Both 6-2232265-7 and 5-2232265-7 are RoHS Compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings.

Q: Can I mix these housings in the same connector assembly?

A: Both housings are mechanically and electrically compatible within the Power Triple Lock and Glow Wire series. However, mixing different housing colors in a single assembly may affect visual identification schemes. Verify color coding requirements for your application.

Q: What is the pitch specification and why does it matter?

A: Both parts have a 0.236" (6.00mm) pitch, which defines the center-to-center spacing between contact positions. This specification must match the mating connector and contact spacing to ensure proper alignment and connection.

Q: Are these parts suitable for high-temperature applications?

A: The 6-2232265-7 supports continuous operation from -55°C to 140°C. The 5-2232265-7 supports -55°C to 105°C. Select the appropriate part based on your application's maximum operating temperature requirement.
