Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity 770182-1 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mechanical Compatibility:

• Connector type (Header)
• Contact type (Male Pin)
• Position count (9 positions)
• Row configuration (3 rows)
• Mating pitch (0.163" / 4.14mm)
• Row spacing (0.163" / 4.14mm)
• Mounting method (Through Hole)
• Shrouding configuration (Shrouded - 4 Wall)
• Termination method (Solder)

Electrical Compatibility:

• Voltage rating (600VAC minimum)
• Operating temperature range (-20°C ~ 85°C minimum)
• Contact material (Brass)
• Contact finish thickness (150.0µin / 3.81µm)

Regulatory Compliance:

• Material flammability rating (UL94 V-0)
• Series designation (Mini-Universal MATE-N-LOK)

The substitute part 1-770182-0 maintains full equivalence across all mechanical and electrical parameters. Differences in contact finish composition (Tin-Lead versus Tin) and product status (Last Time Buy versus Active) do not affect functional interchangeability in the specified application.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: TE Connectivity 1-770182-0

The 1-770182-0 is the direct functional equivalent of the 770182-1 and is the recommended substitute for all applications requiring a 9-position Mini-Universal MATE-N-LOK rectangular connector header with 0.163" pitch and through-hole solder termination.

Justification:

1. Product Status: The 770182-1 is designated Last Time Buy, indicating end-of-life status. The 1-770182-0 maintains Active product status with significantly higher inventory availability (6230 units versus 1968 units), ensuring supply continuity for ongoing production and field service requirements.

2. Mechanical Interchangeability: All dimensional parameters, including pitch spacing, row configuration, insulation height, contact post length, and shrouding geometry, are identical between the two parts. Direct mechanical substitution is supported without design modification.

3. Electrical Equivalence: Both parts maintain identical voltage rating (600VAC), operating temperature range (-20°C ~ 85°C), contact material (Brass), and contact finish thickness specifications (150.0µin / 3.81µm). Electrical performance is equivalent.

4. Contact Finish Consideration: The 770182-1 specifies Tin-Lead contact finish, while the 1-770182-0 specifies Tin contact finish. Both finishes provide equivalent electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance at the specified contact thickness. Tin finish represents improved environmental compliance without performance degradation.

5. Regulatory Compliance: The 1-770182-0 achieves RoHS Compliant status, whereas the 770182-1 is RoHS non-compliant. Both parts maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating and identical electrical safety specifications. Selection of the 1-770182-0 supports compliance with modern procurement standards.

6. Functional Equivalence: Both parts are Mini-Universal MATE-N-LOK series connectors with identical board lock features, locking ramp fastening, and shrouded 4-wall configuration. No functional capability is lost in substitution.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1-770182-0 be used as a direct replacement for the 770182-1 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 1-770182-0 is mechanically and electrically equivalent to the 770182-1 across all critical parameters. Direct substitution is supported without design modification, PCB layout changes, or mating connector updates.

Q: What is the difference between Tin-Lead and Tin contact finishes in this application?

A: Both finishes provide equivalent electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance at the specified 150.0µin (3.81µm) thickness. Tin finish represents improved environmental compliance and is preferred for new designs. Existing systems using Tin-Lead finish will function identically with Tin-finished contacts.

Q: Why does the 770182-1 have Last Time Buy status?

A: Last Time Buy status indicates TE Connectivity has discontinued manufacturing of this part number. The 1-770182-0 is the active production equivalent and is recommended for all new orders and ongoing supply requirements.

Q: Are there any compatibility issues between the 770182-1 and 1-770182-0 in mixed-component assemblies?

A: No. Both parts are fully compatible within the same assembly. The mating pitch (0.163"), row spacing (0.163"), connector type (Header), and contact configuration (9-position, 3-row, male pin) are identical, allowing interchangeable use in the same system.

Q: What is the inventory status for each part?

A: The 770182-1 has 1968 units in stock with Last Time Buy status. The 1-770182-0 has 6230 units in stock with Active product status, providing superior supply availability for ongoing production and field service applications.

Q: Does the RoHS Compliant status of the 1-770182-0 affect electrical performance?

A: No. RoHS compliance relates to material composition restrictions (elimination of lead and other hazardous substances) and does not affect electrical performance, voltage rating, current capacity, or operating temperature range. Both parts maintain identical electrical specifications.

Q: Can the 1-770182-0 be used in applications originally specified for the 770182-1?

A: Yes. The 1-770182-0 meets or exceeds all electrical, mechanical, and thermal requirements of the 770182-1. It is suitable for all applications where the 770182-1 was originally specified, including general-purpose board-to-cable/wire connections rated for 600VAC operation.

Q: What is the base product number for both parts?

A: Both the 770182-1 and 1-770182-0 share the base product number 770182, confirming their functional equivalence within the Mini-Universal MATE-N-LOK series.
