Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 87175-8 are qualified based on the following critical parameters that must match or exceed the main part specifications:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector Type: Receptacle
• Contact Type: Female Socket
• Number of Positions: 3
• Pitch: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Number of Rows: 1
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Contact Termination: Crimp
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

Allowable Variations:

• Insulation Material: Alternative thermoplastic or polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) formulations with equivalent mechanical and thermal properties
• Color: Black housing is standard; natural or alternative colors are noted as variations
• Operating Temperature Range: Substitutes with equal or extended temperature ranges are acceptable
• Series Designation: Different AMPMODU variants and alternative manufacturer series (Amphenol ICC) are qualified when all electrical and mechanical parameters align
• RoHS/REACH Compliance: Active products with current compliance certifications are preferred

All substitute parts listed maintain the same functional interface, contact configuration, and crimp termination methodology as the primary part.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitutes (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors):

The parts 103648-2, 926475-3, and 926657-3 are direct functional equivalents from TE Connectivity AMP Connectors. These maintain the same connector interface, pitch, and mounting configuration as the 87175-8. Part 103648-2 offers the highest current inventory (16185 pcs) and ROHS3 compliance with thermoplastic insulation. Part 926475-3 provides ROHS3 compliance with PBT glass-filled insulation and substantial inventory availability (11679 pcs). Part 926657-3 maintains AMPMODU series continuity with ROHS3 compliance.

Secondary Substitutes (Alternative Manufacturers):

Part 65039-034LF from Amphenol ICC (FCI) qualifies as a functional equivalent with modified polyphenylene insulation and RoHS compliance. Operating temperature range is -40°C to 105°C, which covers the standard industrial range. Part 65240-003LF from Amphenol ICC provides extended temperature capability (-65°C to 125°C) with thermoplastic glass-filled insulation; however, the housing color is blue rather than black, and REACH status is affected.

Series-Specific Alternatives:

Part 2177231-1 from the Micro Quadlok series maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters with PBT glass-filled insulation and RoHS compliance. Operating temperature specification is not provided for this part.

Part 928205-3 offers natural-colored housing with PBTP insulation and RoHS compliance. Operating temperature specification is not provided.

Compliance Considerations:

All listed substitutes maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating. ROHS3-compliant parts (103648-2, 926475-3, 926657-3) represent current regulatory compliance. The 87175-8 is RoHS Compliant with vendor-undefined REACH status; substitutes with REACH Unaffected or REACH Affected status are noted where applicable.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 103648-2 be used as a direct replacement for 87175-8?

A: Yes. Part 103648-2 maintains identical electrical and mechanical parameters: 3-position receptacle, 0.100" pitch, female socket contacts, crimp termination, and free-hanging in-line mounting. Insulation material differs (thermoplastic versus polyester glass-filled), but both materials meet the operating temperature range of -65°C to 105°C. ROHS3 compliance of 103648-2 represents current regulatory status.

Q: What is the difference between 926475-3 and 926657-3?

A: Both parts are TE Connectivity AMP Connectors with identical connector specifications. The primary difference is insulation material: 926475-3 uses polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) glass-filled, while 926657-3 uses polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) without glass filling. Both maintain -65°C to 105°C operating temperature and ROHS3 compliance. Selection depends on mechanical strength requirements and application-specific insulation specifications.

Q: Why is 65240-003LF listed as a substitute if the color is blue instead of black?

A: Part 65240-003LF meets all critical electrical and mechanical parameters: 3-position receptacle, 0.100" pitch, female socket contacts, crimp termination, and free-hanging mounting. The blue housing color is a visual distinction that does not affect electrical function or mechanical compatibility. This part is included as a functional equivalent for applications where housing color is not a design constraint. Extended operating temperature (-65°C to 125°C) provides additional thermal margin.

Q: Are contacts included with these connector housings?

A: No. All listed parts, including the main part 87175-8, are connector housings only. Contacts are not included and must be sourced separately. Ensure selected contacts are compatible with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch and crimp termination specifications.

Q: What is the significance of MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating?

A: MSL 1 (Unlimited) indicates that the component has unlimited shelf life and does not require moisture-controlled storage or baking procedures prior to assembly. This applies to all listed substitute parts and simplifies inventory management and procurement logistics.

Q: Can parts from different manufacturers be mixed in the same assembly?

A: All listed parts maintain identical connector interface specifications (pitch, position count, contact type, mounting method). Parts from TE Connectivity AMP Connectors and Amphenol ICC (FCI) can be used interchangeably from an electrical and mechanical standpoint. However, design documentation and assembly procedures should specify the selected part number to ensure consistency and traceability.

Q: What is the difference between RoHS Compliant and ROHS3 Compliant?

A: RoHS Compliant indicates conformance to the original Restriction of Hazardous Substances directive. ROHS3 Compliant indicates conformance to the updated RoHS 3 directive (2015/863/EU), which includes additional restricted substances. ROHS3 compliance represents current regulatory requirements and is preferred for new designs.

Q: Is 928205-3 suitable for applications requiring specified operating temperature limits?

A: Part 928205-3 does not include operating temperature specification in available documentation. If your application requires confirmed operating temperature range, select from parts with documented specifications: 87175-8, 103648-2, 926475-3, 926657-3, 65039-034LF, or 65240-003LF. Part 2177231-1 also lacks documented operating temperature specification.
