Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TE Connectivity 87175-3 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters: 15-position count, 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, receptacle connector type with female socket contacts, single-row configuration, free-hanging inline mounting, and crimp termination method. All identified substitute parts maintain these core electrical and mechanical specifications. Variations in operating temperature range, insulation material composition, housing color, and manufacturer series do not preclude substitution when the primary functional parameters remain identical. The moisture sensitivity level of 1 (Unlimited) is maintained across all substitute options, ensuring equivalent environmental performance.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts maintain active product status and full compliance with RoHS regulations, ensuring long-term availability and regulatory alignment. The Molex 0050579015 and 0050579315 options provide the highest inventory levels at 5141 and 4871 pieces respectively, supporting high-volume applications. Both Molex parts achieve ROHS3 compliance, representing the most current regulatory standard.

The Amphenol ICC 65039-022LF maintains the original operating temperature floor of -40°C with identical upper limit of 105°C, offering direct thermal equivalence to the Molex options. The Amphenol ICC 65240-015LF extends the upper operating temperature to 125°C and maintains the lower temperature limit of -65°C, matching the original TE Connectivity part's thermal envelope and providing enhanced high-temperature performance capability.

Housing color variation exists only in the Amphenol ICC 65240-015LF, which features blue insulation material instead of black. This color distinction does not affect electrical or mechanical function but may require consideration in applications where connector identification or visual assembly verification is specified.

All substitute parts carry identical moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1 - Unlimited) and maintain the same electrical interface specifications, ensuring direct functional interchangeability within the specified parameter constraints.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What determines whether a part can substitute for the TE Connectivity 87175-3?

A: Substitution eligibility requires exact equivalence in the following parameters: 15-position count, 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, receptacle connector type, female socket contact type, single-row configuration, free-hanging inline mounting, and crimp termination. All identified substitute parts meet these criteria.

Q: Can the Molex 0050579015 and 0050579315 be used interchangeably with the TE Connectivity 87175-3?

A: Both Molex parts are parametrically equivalent to the TE Connectivity 87175-3 across all critical electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary difference is the operating temperature range, which extends from -40°C to 105°C compared to the original -65°C to 105°C. Both parts maintain identical pitch, position count, contact type, and termination method.

Q: Does the blue housing color of the Amphenol ICC 65240-015LF affect compatibility?

A: Housing color is a visual identifier and does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. The 65240-015LF maintains all functional specifications identical to the original part. Color selection should be based on application-specific assembly or identification requirements only.

Q: What is the significance of the operating temperature range differences?

A: The TE Connectivity 87175-3 operates from -65°C to 105°C. The Molex and Amphenol ICC 65039-022LF options operate from -40°C to 105°C, suitable for applications not requiring the extended low-temperature performance. The Amphenol ICC 65240-015LF extends to -65°C to 125°C, providing enhanced thermal performance in both directions.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: All substitute parts maintain RoHS compliance. The TE Connectivity 87175-3, Amphenol ICC 65039-022LF, and 65240-015LF are RoHS Compliant. The Molex 0050579015 and 0050579315 achieve ROHS3 Compliant status, representing the current regulatory standard.

Q: Do the insulation material differences affect substitution?

A: The insulation material varies across substitute options: Polyester Glass Filled (TE Connectivity and Molex), Polyphenylene Modified (Amphenol ICC 65039-022LF), and Thermoplastic Glass Filled (Amphenol ICC 65240-015LF). These material variations do not preclude substitution when all electrical and mechanical parameters remain equivalent.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level, and is it consistent across all parts?

A: All parts maintain Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. This specification is identical across the TE Connectivity 87175-3 and all substitute options.

Q: Are contacts included with these connector housings?

A: No. All parts are connector housings only. Contacts are not included and must be sourced separately according to application requirements.
