Engineering Selection Recommendations
All substitute parts listed are qualified for direct replacement based on identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection among equivalent options is determined by the following criteria:
Series Compatibility: The 917689-2 belongs to the Signal Double Lock series. Part 917689-1 maintains this series designation while offering a natural color variant. Parts 5-1971793-1, 5-1971793-3, and 5-1971793-5 belong to the Grace Inertia (GIC) series and are functionally equivalent but represent a different connector family.
RoHS Certification: The 917689-2 carries RoHS Compliant status. Substitute parts 5-1971793-3, 5-1971793-5, and 917689-1 carry ROHS3 Compliant certification, which represents an updated compliance standard. Part 5-1971793-1 maintains RoHS Compliant status matching the original part.
Color Selection: Choose based on application requirements. The 917689-2 is supplied in red. Natural and black color variants are available through substitute parts for applications requiring specific color coding or identification schemes.
Product Status: All parts maintain active production status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can I substitute a 5-1971793 series connector for the 917689-2?
A: Yes. Parts 5-1971793-1, 5-1971793-3, and 5-1971793-5 are parametric equivalents with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary difference is series designation (Grace Inertia vs. Signal Double Lock) and color options. All maintain the same 5-position, 2.50mm pitch configuration with crimp termination and latch lock fastening.
Q: What is the difference between RoHS Compliant and ROHS3 Compliant status?
A: ROHS3 Compliant represents an updated version of the RoHS directive with additional restricted substance requirements. Both certifications indicate compliance with hazardous substance restrictions. Parts carrying ROHS3 Compliant status meet current regulatory requirements and are suitable for new designs.
Q: Are the contacts included with these connector housings?
A: No. All listed parts are connector housings only. Contacts are not included and must be ordered separately. Ensure selected contacts are compatible with the 2.50mm pitch and crimp termination specification.
Q: Can I mix connector housings from different series in the same application?
A: Electrical and mechanical compatibility is maintained across all listed parts due to identical pitch, position count, termination method, and fastening type. However, connector series designation should be verified against application documentation and design specifications to ensure consistency with mating components.
Q: What inventory levels are available for each substitute part?
A: Inventory availability varies. The 917689-2 has 739 pieces in stock. Substitute parts show varying availability: 5-1971793-1 (22,442 pcs), 5-1971793-3 (16,634 pcs), 5-1971793-5 (1,050 pcs), and 917689-1 (2,668 pcs). Verify current inventory status with your supplier for production requirements.
Q: Do all substitute parts operate within the same temperature range?
A: Yes. All listed parts operate within the identical temperature range of -30°C to 105°C, ensuring thermal compatibility across all equivalent options.
Q: What is the Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) for these connectors?
A: All parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. These connectors do not require special moisture control during storage, handling, or assembly.
