Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 917691-2 are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter matching within the Signal Double Lock series. The substitution logic is based on the following critical parameters that must remain constant:

• Connector Type: Plug housing
• Contact Type: Female Socket
• Number of Positions: 7
• Pitch: 0.098" (2.50mm)
• Number of Rows: 1
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Contact Termination: Crimp
• Fastening Type: Locking Ramp
• Insulation Material: Polyamide (PA66), Nylon 6/6
• Operating Temperature Range: -30°C ~ 105°C
• Base Product Number: 917691

The identified substitute part 5-917691-1 maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The only variation is the housing color (Natural versus Red), which does not affect electrical performance or mechanical compatibility. Both parts share the same base product number 917691, confirming their functional equivalence within the Signal Double Lock connector family.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 917691-2 and 5-917691-1 are Active product status connectors manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors within the Signal Double Lock series. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including the 7-position, 2.50mm pitch configuration, crimp termination, and locking ramp fastening mechanism.

The 917691-2 is supplied in red housing, while the 5-917691-1 is supplied in natural housing. This color differentiation does not impact electrical performance, mechanical compatibility, or thermal characteristics. Both parts operate across the identical temperature range of -30°C to 105°C and feature unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1).

Compliance considerations: The 917691-2 carries RoHS Compliant certification, while the 5-917691-1 carries ROHS3 Compliant certification. Both certifications satisfy RoHS requirements. Selection between these parts should be based on housing color requirements for the application and inventory availability. The 5-917691-1 currently maintains higher inventory levels (1610 Pcs versus 652 Pcs for the 917691-2).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5-917691-1 be used as a direct replacement for the 917691-2?

A: Yes. Both parts are functionally equivalent within the Signal Double Lock series. They share identical electrical and mechanical parameters, including connector type, contact configuration, pitch, mounting type, termination method, and operating temperature range. The only difference is housing color (Natural versus Red).

Q: Does the housing color affect connector performance or compatibility?

A: No. Housing color is a cosmetic specification that does not affect electrical performance, mechanical compatibility, or thermal characteristics. Both red and natural housings are constructed from the same polyamide (PA66/Nylon 6/6) material and maintain identical mechanical properties.

Q: Are both parts compatible with the same contact sets?

A: Yes. Both the 917691-2 and 5-917691-1 accommodate the same female socket contacts designed for the 2.50mm pitch Signal Double Lock series. Contact selection is independent of housing color.

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

A: Both certifications satisfy RoHS requirements. ROHS3 represents a more recent certification standard. Both parts meet regulatory compliance for restricted hazardous substances.

Q: Are there any packaging differences between these parts?

A: Both parts are supplied in Bulk packaging. No packaging format differences exist between the 917691-2 and 5-917691-1.

Q: Can these connectors be used in applications requiring color-coded identification?

A: Yes. The 917691-2 (red) and 5-917691-1 (natural) can be selected based on application color-coding requirements. The housing color provides visual identification without affecting electrical or mechanical function.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for both parts?

A: Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage or handling.
