Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity 963317-1 is determined by strict equivalence across all electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part 963325-1 qualifies as a direct equivalent based on the following criteria:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Connector type (Receptacle)
• Contact type (Female Socket)
• Number of positions (25)
• Pitch specification (0.197" / 5.00mm)
• Row configuration (2 rows)
• Row spacing (0.197" / 5.00mm)
• Mounting type (Free Hanging In-Line)
• Contact termination method (Crimp)
• Housing color (Black)
• Sealed feature
• Insulation material composition (Polyamide, Nylon, Glass Filled)
• Compliance certifications (RoHS Compliant)
• Moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1)
• Export classification (EAR99)
• Tariff classification (HTSUS 8536.69.8000)

The substitute part maintains identical form, fit, and function characteristics, enabling direct replacement in applications utilizing the original 963317-1 housing.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity 963325-1 serves as the direct equivalent substitute for the discontinued 963317-1 housing. Both components are manufactured by TE Connectivity within the Junior Power Timer series and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all defined parameters.

Procurement Basis: The 963325-1 is classified as an active product with confirmed inventory availability of 2000 pieces, compared to the 963317-1 which is discontinued at DiGi Electronics. Both parts carry RoHS Compliant certification and MSL 1 rating, indicating equivalent environmental and handling compliance.

Compatibility Assurance: The substitute part maintains identical form, fit, and function characteristics. The 25-position receptacle housing with 5.00mm pitch, 2-row configuration, sealed construction, and crimp termination interface are fully preserved. The glass-filled polyamide insulation material composition remains unchanged, ensuring equivalent mechanical and thermal performance in applications.

Regulatory Compliance: Both the original and substitute parts share identical export classification (EAR99) and tariff coding (HTSUS 8536.69.8000), supporting seamless integration into existing supply chain and compliance documentation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 963325-1 directly replace the 963317-1 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 963325-1 is a direct equivalent substitute with identical connector type, position count, pitch, row configuration, mounting method, and contact termination. All mechanical and electrical parameters match the original specification.

Q: Are there differences in the housing material between these parts?

A: No. Both housings utilize glass-filled polyamide (PA) nylon insulation material with identical composition and properties.

Q: What is the significance of the product status difference?

A: The 963317-1 is discontinued at DiGi Electronics, while the 963325-1 is actively manufactured and stocked. The 963325-1 provides assured long-term availability for new procurement and production requirements.

Q: Do these housings include contacts?

A: No. Both the 963317-1 and 963325-1 are housings only. Contacts must be procured separately and installed via crimp termination.

Q: Are the RoHS and MSL ratings identical?

A: Yes. Both parts are RoHS Compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating equivalent environmental compliance and moisture sensitivity characteristics.

Q: What is the pitch specification for these connectors?

A: Both parts feature a 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch with 2-row configuration and 0.197" (5.00mm) row spacing, defining the contact center-to-center distance and row separation.

Q: Can these housings be used in sealed applications?

A: Yes. Both the 963317-1 and 963325-1 feature sealed construction, suitable for applications requiring environmental protection.

Q: What mounting configuration do these housings support?

A: Both housings are configured for free hanging (in-line) mounting, supporting direct cable or PCB integration without additional mounting hardware.
