TE Connectivity Deutsch Connectors 776164-4 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity Deutsch Connectors 776164-4 is a 35-position rectangular connector plug housing from the AMPSEAL series. This connector housing accommodates female socket contacts with a 0.157" (4.00mm) pitch configuration across three rows. The part is classified as Active product status and is ROHS3 compliant. Substitute parts are necessary when specific color coding requirements, inventory availability, or application-specific identification standards necessitate alternative housing colors while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 776164-4 rectangular connector plug housing are determined by strict equivalence across all electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute parts 776164-1, 776164-2, 776164-5, and 776164-6 are parametric equivalents that maintain identical specifications in the following critical areas:

Electrical and Mechanical Equivalence Criteria:

• Number of positions: 35
• Contact pitch: 0.157" (4.00mm)
• Row configuration: 3 rows with 0.157" (4.00mm) spacing
• Connector type: Plug with female socket contacts
• Contact termination: Crimp
• Fastening mechanism: Latch Lock
• Insulation material: Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT)
• Mounting configuration: Free Hanging (In-Line)

Regulatory and Compliance Equivalence:

• RoHS3 compliance
• REACH unaffected status
• Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited)
• ECCN: EAR99
• HTSUS: 8536.69.8000

The only variable parameter across the substitute group is housing color. All substitute parts are manufactured by TE Connectivity Deutsch Connectors within the AMPSEAL series and share the same base product number 776164. Substitution is valid when color differentiation does not impact functional requirements or application-specific circuit identification standards.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts listed—776164-1, 776164-2, 776164-5, and 776164-6—are Active product status components manufactured by TE Connectivity Deutsch Connectors. Each part maintains full ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory alignment with current environmental and hazardous substance directives.

Selection among these equivalent parts is based on application requirements related to color identification or circuit coding standards. The 776164-4 (Gray) is the primary specification; however, the 776164-6 (Orange) offers the highest current inventory availability at 200,408 pieces. The 776164-2 (Natural) and 776164-5 (Blue) each maintain 2,100 and 2,400 pieces respectively, while the 776164-1 (Black) has 1,560 pieces in stock.

All parts are supplied in Bulk packaging and include the same base product number 776164. No contacts are included with any housing variant; contacts must be sourced separately and crimped according to TE Connectivity specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the substitute parts 776164-1, 776164-2, 776164-5, and 776164-6 electrically and mechanically interchangeable with 776164-4?

A: Yes. All substitute parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications including 35 positions, 0.157" (4.00mm) pitch, 3-row configuration, female socket contact type, crimp termination, and latch lock fastening. The only difference is housing color.

Q: What is the significance of the color variations among these connector housings?

A: Color variations serve circuit identification and organizational purposes in wiring harness assemblies. Selection of a specific color variant depends on application-specific color coding standards or internal documentation requirements. Electrical performance and mechanical compatibility remain unchanged across all color options.

Q: Can contacts from one color variant be used interchangeably with another color variant?

A: Yes. Since all housing variants share identical position counts, pitch, row spacing, and contact type specifications, contacts designed for one color variant are compatible with all other color variants within this substitute group.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All parts in this substitute group—776164-4, 776164-1, 776164-2, 776164-5, and 776164-6—are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental regulatory requirements.

Q: What is the Moisture Sensitivity Level for these connector housings?

A: All parts carry Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage, handling, or assembly processes.

Q: Are contacts included with the connector housing purchase?

A: No. All housing variants are supplied without contacts. Contacts must be sourced separately and crimped into the housing according to TE Connectivity assembly specifications.

Q: What is the difference between the base product number 776164 and the variant suffixes?

A: The base product number 776164 identifies the core connector housing design. The numeric suffixes (-1, -2, -4, -5, -6) designate color variants: -1 (Black), -2 (Natural), -4 (Gray), -5 (Blue), and -6 (Orange). All variants share identical electrical and mechanical characteristics.

Q: Can I substitute 776164-4 with 776164-6 if inventory is limited?

A: Yes, provided application requirements do not mandate gray color specifically. The 776164-6 (Orange) is a parametric equivalent with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Verify that color differentiation does not conflict with circuit identification standards or assembly documentation before substitution.
