Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the VHR-7N is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

  • Connector Type: Receptacle housing
  • Number of Positions: 7
  • Pitch: 0.156" (3.96mm)
  • Contact Type: Female Socket
  • Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
  • Contact Termination: Crimp
  • Fastening Type: Latch Lock
  • Number of Rows: 1
  • RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant
  • MSL Rating: 1 (Unlimited)

All substitute parts listed below meet these core electrical and mechanical parameters. Variations in operating temperature range, insulation material composition, and manufacturer series do not affect functional interchangeability within the specified parameter set.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 1744416-7 (TE Connectivity Economy Power II series) is a parametric equivalent receptacle housing that maintains all critical electrical and mechanical specifications of the VHR-7N while offering an extended operating temperature range of -55°C to 105°C. This part is ROHS3 compliant and carries MSL 1 rating. With 64,873 units in stock, it provides enhanced supply availability.

The 1-1123722-7 (TE Connectivity Economy Power series) is a plug housing variant with identical pitch, position count, and termination specifications. This part differs in connector type (plug versus receptacle) and is suitable for mating applications. It operates across -25°C to 105°C and is ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating.

Selection between these alternatives depends on application requirements: use 1744416-7 for direct receptacle replacement with extended temperature capability, or 1-1123722-7 when a plug housing is required for connector pairing.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1744416-7 directly replace the VHR-7N?

A: Yes. Both are receptacle housings with identical pitch (0.156"), position count (7), contact type (female socket), mounting type (free hanging in-line), termination method (crimp), and fastening type (latch lock). Both are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating and active product status.

Q: What is the difference between the 1744416-7 and 1-1123722-7?

A: The 1744416-7 is a receptacle housing; the 1-1123722-7 is a plug housing. Both share the same pitch, position count, and termination specifications. The 1-1123722-7 is used for mating with receptacle housings in connector assemblies.

Q: Does the extended temperature range of 1744416-7 affect compatibility?

A: No. The extended operating range (-55°C to 105°C versus -25°C to 85°C) does not affect electrical or mechanical interchangeability. It provides additional operational margin for applications requiring wider temperature tolerance.

Q: Are there differences in insulation material between these parts?

A: Yes. The VHR-7N uses PA6 (Nylon 6), the 1744416-7 uses PA (Nylon), and the 1-1123722-7 uses PA66 (Nylon 6/6). These material variations do not affect functional compatibility within the specified parameter set.

Q: What does "Contacts Not Included" mean?

A: All three housings are supplied without pre-installed contacts. Contacts must be sourced separately and crimped into the housing according to manufacturer specifications.

Q: Are all parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The VHR-7N, 1744416-7, and 1-1123722-7 are all ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating.
