TE Connectivity 8-174682-7 D-Type Connector Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 8-174682-7 is a 68-position D-Type plug connector with right-angle kinked pin termination, designed for board-to-board applications. This connector features female sockets, through-hole mounting, and operates across a temperature range of -55°C to 105°C with a 1A current rating at 100V.

The 8-174682-7 carries an obsolete product status. Locating equivalent and substitute components is necessary to support legacy system maintenance, repair operations, and design continuity where this connector type remains specified in active applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 8-174682-7 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector type classification (D-Type Plug, Female Sockets)
• Position count (68 positions)
• Row configuration (2 rows)
• Shell size and pitch specification (0.050 Pitch x 0.100 Row to Row)
• Mounting configuration (Through Hole, Right Angle)
• Termination method (Kinked Pin)
• Electrical ratings (1A current, 100V voltage)
• Operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C)
• Contact finish specification (Gold plating)
• Series designation (AMPLIMITE .050 I)

The substitute part 8-5174682-7 meets all mandatory matching parameters and is therefore classified as a direct equivalent. The primary distinction between the main part and its substitute relates to product status (obsolete versus active) and regulatory compliance posture (RoHS non-compliant versus RoHS compliant).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 8-5174682-7 is a direct functional equivalent to the 8-174682-7 across all electrical, mechanical, and dimensional specifications. Both connectors maintain identical performance characteristics within the AMPLIMITE .050 I series platform.

Product Status Consideration: The 8-174682-7 is classified as obsolete, while the 8-5174682-7 maintains active product status. Active status indicates ongoing manufacturer support, continued availability, and current production compliance verification.

Regulatory Compliance: The 8-5174682-7 carries RoHS compliant certification, whereas the 8-174682-7 is RoHS non-compliant. For applications subject to RoHS directives or customer specifications requiring RoHS compliance, the 8-5174682-7 is the appropriate selection. Both parts carry identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications.

Contact Material Variance: The 8-174682-7 specifies phosphor bronze contact material, while the 8-5174682-7 uses copper alloy contacts. Both materials deliver equivalent electrical performance and maintain the specified gold plating finish thickness of 30.0µin (0.76µm).

Inventory and Availability: The 8-5174682-7 is available in bulk packaging with 1129 units in stock, compared to 694 units of the obsolete 8-174682-7. The active status and higher inventory position of the 8-5174682-7 support supply chain continuity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 8-5174682-7 be used as a direct replacement for the 8-174682-7 in existing applications?

A: Yes. The 8-5174682-7 is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the 8-174682-7. Both connectors share identical position counts, pitch specifications, mounting configurations, electrical ratings, and operating temperature ranges. Physical interchangeability is confirmed across all critical parameters.

Q: What is the significance of the contact material difference between phosphor bronze and copper alloy?

A: Both phosphor bronze and copper alloy contacts deliver equivalent electrical conductivity and performance within the specified 1A current rating and 100V voltage rating. The contact finish (gold plating at 30.0µin thickness) provides the primary corrosion resistance and electrical interface characteristics for both variants. Material selection does not affect functional compatibility.

Q: Why is the 8-174682-7 listed as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the manufacturer has discontinued active production and support for this part number. The 8-5174682-7 represents the current production equivalent within the AMPLIMITE .050 I series. For new designs and ongoing support requirements, the active 8-5174682-7 is the recommended selection.

Q: Does RoHS compliance status affect the electrical performance of the connector?

A: No. RoHS compliance relates to material composition restrictions on hazardous substances and does not alter electrical performance, current rating, voltage rating, or operating temperature specifications. Both the RoHS non-compliant 8-174682-7 and RoHS compliant 8-5174682-7 deliver identical electrical characteristics. RoHS status is a regulatory and procurement consideration rather than a performance factor.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the main part and substitute?

A: The 8-174682-7 packaging specification is not provided in the technical data. The 8-5174682-7 is supplied in bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with procurement specifications before component selection.

Q: What is the Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) rating for both connectors?

A: Both the 8-174682-7 and 8-5174682-7 carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) classification. This rating indicates unlimited shelf life without moisture control requirements, simplifying storage and handling procedures.

Q: Are both connectors suitable for the same operating temperature range?

A: Yes. Both connectors operate across the identical temperature range of -55°C to 105°C. Thermal performance and reliability specifications are equivalent across this range.
