Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for rectangular connector housings is determined by strict alignment of electrical and mechanical parameters. The following criteria establish whether a part qualifies as a direct substitute for the 7-2232265-3:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Connector type (Plug)
• Number of positions (3)
• Pitch specification (0.236" / 6.00mm)
• Contact type (Female Blade Socket)
• Mounting type (Free Hanging / In-Line)
• Contact termination method (Crimp)
• Fastening mechanism (Latch Lock)
• Insulation material (Polyamide PA6 / Nylon 6)
• Series designation (Power Triple Lock, Glow Wire)
• RoHS compliance status

The substitute part 5-2232265-3 maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters with the primary exception of housing color (Gray versus Green) and operating temperature maximum specification (-55°C ~ 105°C versus -55°C ~ 140°C). These variations do not affect connector interchangeability at the housing level, as color is a visual identifier and temperature range differences reflect material or design variations within the same product family.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 7-2232265-3 and 5-2232265-3 are active production parts manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors and maintain full RoHS compliance. Both connectors are Glow Wire compliant and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications for connector housing functionality.

Selection between these parts should be based on application-specific operating temperature requirements. The 7-2232265-3 supports continuous operation across the full range of -55°C to 140°C, making it suitable for high-temperature applications. The 5-2232265-3 operates within -55°C to 105°C, appropriate for standard industrial and commercial temperature environments.

Housing color differentiation (Green for 7-2232265-3 versus Gray for 5-2232265-3) serves as a visual identifier and does not affect electrical or mechanical performance. Both parts are supplied without contacts, requiring separate procurement of compatible female blade socket contacts for assembly.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5-2232265-3 be used as a direct replacement for the 7-2232265-3 in all applications?

A: The 5-2232265-3 is mechanically and electrically compatible with the 7-2232265-3 for connector housing applications. However, the operating temperature maximum differs: 105°C for the 5-2232265-3 versus 140°C for the 7-2232265-3. Applications requiring sustained operation above 105°C must use the 7-2232265-3.

Q: What is the significance of the housing color difference between these parts?

A: Housing color (Green for 7-2232265-3 and Gray for 5-2232265-3) is a visual identification feature and does not affect electrical performance, mechanical fit, or connector functionality. Color selection is typically driven by application documentation, wiring standards, or internal company specifications.

Q: Are contacts included with these connector housings?

A: No. Both the 7-2232265-3 and 5-2232265-3 are supplied as housings only. Female blade socket contacts must be procured separately and crimped into the housing according to TE Connectivity assembly specifications.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Both parts are RoHS Compliant, Glow Wire Compliant, and carry Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited). Both are active production parts from TE Connectivity AMP Connectors. The 7-2232265-3 carries REACH Unaffected status, while the 5-2232265-3 shows Vendor Undefined REACH status.

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

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

Q: Can these connectors be used in applications requiring high-temperature operation?

A: The 7-2232265-3 supports continuous operation to 140°C and is suitable for high-temperature applications. The 5-2232265-3 is rated to 105°C maximum and should be selected only for applications within this temperature range.
