Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 7-2232263-7 is determined by the following critical parameters that must remain constant across all equivalent parts:

Fixed Parameters (Must Match):

• Number of Positions: 5
• Pitch: 0.236" (6.00mm)
• Connector Type: Receptacle
• Contact Type: Tab
• Mounting Type: Panel Mount, Snap-In
• Contact Termination: Crimp
• Fastening Type: Latch Lock
• Number of Rows: 1
• Glow Wire Compliance: Required

Variable Parameters (Allowed to Differ):

• Insulation Material composition (PA6 vs. PBT vs. PA)
• Color (Green, Natural, Gray)
• Operating Temperature maximum range (-55°C to 140°C, 105°C, or 150°C)
• Series designation (Power Triple Lock variants)

The substitute parts 1-1971772-7 and 5-1971772-7 maintain all fixed parameters while offering alternative material and thermal specifications to support different application environments and design constraints.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Part Selection (7-2232263-7): The 7-2232263-7 is the specified component for applications requiring a maximum operating temperature of 140°C with PA6 nylon 6 glass-filled insulation material. This part is RoHS compliant, carries unlimited moisture sensitivity rating, and maintains active production status with current inventory availability.

Substitute Selection Criteria:

1-1971772-7 (Natural Color, PBT Material): Select this substitute when the application environment operates at or below 105°C maximum temperature and PBT glass-filled insulation material is acceptable. This part offers equivalent mechanical and electrical performance within its thermal specification. Use this option when material compatibility with PBT polymers is required or when natural color identification is preferred for assembly or traceability purposes.

5-1971772-7 (Gray Color, PA Nylon Material): Select this substitute for applications requiring extended operating temperature capability up to 150°C. The PA nylon glass-filled insulation material supports higher thermal stress environments. This part is suitable when maximum thermal performance is necessary and gray color coding is compatible with assembly or identification requirements. This substitute provides the highest temperature rating among all equivalent options.

All three parts maintain identical mechanical interface specifications, contact configuration, and mounting characteristics, ensuring direct substitution at the housing level when thermal and material requirements are satisfied.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1-1971772-7 be used in an application specified for the 7-2232263-7?

A: The 1-1971772-7 can be used only if the application's maximum operating temperature does not exceed 105°C. The 7-2232263-7 is rated to 140°C, so the 1-1971772-7 is not suitable for applications operating above 105°C. All other mechanical and electrical parameters are compatible.

Q: What is the primary difference between the 7-2232263-7 and 5-1971772-7?

A: The primary differences are operating temperature range and insulation material. The 7-2232263-7 operates to 140°C with PA6 nylon 6 material, while the 5-1971772-7 operates to 150°C with PA nylon material. The 5-1971772-7 provides higher thermal capability. Both maintain identical contact pitch, position count, and mounting specifications.

Q: Are the contacts included with these connector housings?

A: No. All three parts (7-2232263-7, 1-1971772-7, and 5-1971772-7) are housings only. Contacts must be sourced separately and crimped into the housing according to TE Connectivity specifications.

Q: Do all three parts meet RoHS compliance requirements?

A: Yes. The 7-2232263-7, 1-1971772-7, and 5-1971772-7 are all RoHS compliant. All three parts carry MSL rating 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage or handling.

Q: Can these housings be used interchangeably in the same assembly?

A: The housings are mechanically and electrically interchangeable at the interface level when the operating temperature requirement is satisfied. However, the different insulation materials (PA6, PBT, PA) and color variations may affect assembly traceability, material certifications, or specific application constraints. Verify material and thermal specifications against application requirements before substitution.

Q: What is the significance of the Glow Wire compliance feature?

A: Glow Wire compliance indicates the housing material meets flammability standards for electrical equipment. All three substitute parts maintain this compliance, ensuring consistent safety performance across equivalent options.

Q: How does the color difference affect part selection?

A: Color differences (Green, Natural, Gray) are visual identifiers only and do not affect electrical or mechanical performance. Color selection is typically driven by assembly documentation, traceability requirements, or internal design standards. Verify color specifications in your assembly drawings before substitution.
