TE Connectivity 7-179228-0 Rectangular Connector Receptacle Housing Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 7-179228-0 is a 10-position rectangular connector receptacle housing with 2.00mm pitch, designed for free-hanging in-line mounting applications. This component is part of the CT series and features crimp-type female socket contacts. The housing is manufactured from polyamide (PA66) nylon 6/6 material and operates across a temperature range of -30°C to 105°C. The part is RoHS compliant and carries an MSL rating of 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity level). Equivalent and substitute parts are identified to provide design flexibility, accommodate supply chain variations, and support applications with specific color or material requirements while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of rectangular connector receptacle housings is determined by strict adherence to the following critical parameters: connector type (receptacle), contact type (female socket), number of positions (10), pitch (2.00mm), number of rows (1), mounting type (free hanging in-line), and contact termination method (crimp). All identified substitute parts maintain these core electrical and mechanical specifications.

Substitute parts are grouped into two categories based on material composition and operating temperature specifications:

Category 1: Polyamide (PA66) Nylon 6/6 Insulation with Extended Temperature Range (-30°C ~ 105°C) Parts 1-179228-0, 1-175778-0, and 3-179228-0 share identical insulation material and operating temperature specifications with the main part 7-179228-0. These parts differ only in color (natural or blue) and are direct functional equivalents within the CT series.

Category 2: Thermoplastic Insulation with Reduced Temperature Range (-25°C ~ 85°C) Parts 1-440129-0 (TE Connectivity HPI series) and M22-3011000 (Harwin M22 series) utilize thermoplastic insulation materials and operate within a narrower temperature range. These parts are functionally equivalent for applications not requiring the extended low-temperature performance of -30°C.

All substitute parts maintain RoHS compliance, MSL rating of 1 (unlimited), and crimp-type contact termination. Contacts are not included with any housing variant.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For applications requiring extended low-temperature operation (-30°C minimum): Select from parts 1-179228-0, 1-175778-0, or 3-179228-0. These TE Connectivity CT series housings maintain the full -30°C to 105°C operating temperature range and utilize polyamide (PA66) nylon 6/6 insulation material. All three parts are RoHS compliant and carry identical MSL ratings. Selection among these three parts is determined by color requirements: 1-179228-0 (natural), 1-175778-0 (natural), or 3-179228-0 (blue).

For applications with standard temperature requirements (-25°C minimum): Parts 1-440129-0 (TE Connectivity HPI series) and M22-3011000 (Harwin M22 series) are suitable alternatives. Both utilize thermoplastic insulation and operate within the -25°C to 85°C range. Both parts carry ROHS3 compliance certification. The M22-3011000 is available in black color, while 1-440129-0 is available in natural color.

For color-specific applications: Black housings are available in 7-179228-0 (main part, CT series, -30°C to 105°C) and M22-3011000 (Harwin M22 series, -25°C to 85°C). Natural color housings are available in 1-179228-0, 1-175778-0, and 1-440129-0. Blue housing is available only in 3-179228-0.

All substitute parts maintain active product status and are manufactured by established connector suppliers (TE Connectivity and Harwin Inc.). Selection should account for application temperature requirements, color specifications, and series compatibility with mating connector components.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I substitute 7-179228-0 with 1-179228-0? A: Yes. Both parts are TE Connectivity CT series receptacle housings with identical electrical and mechanical specifications: 10 positions, 2.00mm pitch, female socket contacts, crimp termination, polyamide (PA66) insulation, and -30°C to 105°C operating temperature. The primary difference is color: 7-179228-0 is black, while 1-179228-0 is natural. Both are RoHS compliant with MSL rating 1 (unlimited).

Q: What is the difference between the CT series and HPI series housings? A: The CT series (7-179228-0, 1-179228-0, 1-175778-0, 3-179228-0) uses polyamide (PA66) nylon 6/6 insulation and operates from -30°C to 105°C. The HPI series (1-440129-0) uses thermoplastic insulation and operates from -25°C to 85°C. Both series maintain identical position count, pitch, mounting type, and contact termination. Selection depends on application temperature requirements.

Q: Can I use M22-3011000 in place of 7-179228-0? A: M22-3011000 is functionally equivalent for applications not requiring operation below -25°C. Both are 10-position, 2.00mm pitch receptacle housings with female socket crimp contacts. However, M22-3011000 operates only to -25°C (versus -30°C for 7-179228-0) and uses thermoplastic insulation (versus polyamide PA66). Both are ROHS3 compliant with MSL rating 1 (unlimited).

Q: Are contacts included with these connector housings? A: No. All listed parts (7-179228-0, 1-179228-0, 1-175778-0, 3-179228-0, 1-440129-0, M22-3011000) are housings only. Contacts must be sourced separately and are compatible with crimp-type termination.

Q: What does MSL rating 1 (unlimited) mean? A: MSL (Moisture Sensitivity Level) rating 1 indicates the component has unlimited shelf life and does not require special moisture control during storage or handling. All listed substitute parts carry this rating.

Q: Can I mix different colored housings in the same connector assembly? A: Color selection is determined by application requirements and visual identification needs. All listed housings maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications regardless of color. Color does not affect functional compatibility with mating components.

Q: Which substitute part has the highest inventory availability? A: Part 1-179228-0 has the highest inventory with 25,100 pieces in stock. This TE Connectivity CT series natural-colored housing is a direct functional equivalent to 7-179228-0 with identical operating temperature range and insulation material.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant? A: Yes. All listed parts carry either RoHS or ROHS3 compliance certification. Parts 7-179228-0, 1-179228-0, 1-175778-0, and 3-179228-0 are RoHS compliant. Parts 1-440129-0 and M22-3011000 are ROHS3 compliant.
