Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 917067-3 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• Contact Termination Method: Crimp
• Wire Gauge Range: 18-22 AWG
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)
• RoHS Compliance Status: RoHS Compliant or ROHS3 Compliant
• ECCN Classification: EAR99
• HTSUS Code: 8536.90.4000

Secondary Consideration:

• Contact Finish: Gold (primary part) versus Tin (substitute part) represents a material difference in electrical and environmental performance characteristics

The substitute part IL-AG5-PC1-5000 from JAE Electronics satisfies the primary compatibility criteria through matching wire gauge, crimp termination, MSL rating, and regulatory compliance. The contact finish difference (Tin versus Gold) constitutes a functional variation that must be evaluated within the specific application context.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

917067-3 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors):

• Product Status: Last Time Buy indicates end-of-life status with limited availability
• RoHS Compliance: Fully compliant with RoHS standards
• Regulatory Classification: EAR99 export control designation
• Current Inventory: 648 pieces available as new original stock

IL-AG5-PC1-5000 (JAE Electronics):

• Product Status: Active production status ensures ongoing availability and supply chain continuity
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 compliant, meeting current regulatory requirements
• Regulatory Classification: EAR99 export control designation
• Current Inventory: 1,000,200 pieces available as new original stock
• Packaging: Cut Tape (CT) format

Selection between these parts should be based on application requirements regarding contact finish material. The gold finish of the 917067-3 provides superior corrosion resistance and lower contact resistance compared to the tin finish of the IL-AG5-PC1-5000. However, the active production status and significantly higher inventory levels of the IL-AG5-PC1-5000 provide supply chain advantages for ongoing production requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can IL-AG5-PC1-5000 directly replace 917067-3 in existing designs?

A: Both parts share identical wire gauge (18-22 AWG), crimp termination method, MSL rating (1), and regulatory compliance. The primary difference is contact finish material: gold versus tin. Direct replacement feasibility depends on application-specific requirements for contact resistance, corrosion resistance, and environmental exposure conditions.

Q: What is the significance of the contact finish difference between gold and tin?

A: Contact finish affects electrical performance and environmental durability. Gold provides lower contact resistance and superior corrosion resistance, particularly in high-humidity or corrosive environments. Tin offers cost advantages but may exhibit higher contact resistance and reduced corrosion resistance in demanding applications.

Q: Why is 917067-3 classified as Last Time Buy?

A: Last Time Buy status indicates TE Connectivity has discontinued production of this part number. This classification necessitates identification of alternative sources to maintain supply continuity for applications currently utilizing this connector.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The 917067-3 is RoHS Compliant, and the IL-AG5-PC1-5000 is ROHS3 Compliant. Both meet current regulatory requirements for hazardous substance restrictions.

Q: What packaging format is available for the substitute part?

A: The IL-AG5-PC1-5000 is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) packaging format, suitable for automated assembly processes and component handling systems.

Q: Do both parts share the same ECCN and HTSUS classifications?

A: Yes. Both parts are classified under ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS code 8536.90.4000, indicating identical export control and tariff classifications.

Q: What inventory levels are currently available?

A: The 917067-3 has 648 pieces in stock as new original inventory. The IL-AG5-PC1-5000 has 1,000,200 pieces in stock, providing significantly higher availability for production requirements.
