1-178128-3 Rectangular Connectors - Free Hanging, Panel Mount by TE Connectivity

UL flammability rating classifies the material's resistance to burning and its self-extinguishing properties. This attribute is critical for components used in high-temperature or safety-critical environments. Verify the rating against the datasheet to ensure compliance with your application's safety standards.

This is the internal reference number assigned by TE Connectivity for tracking and identification. Use it to cross-reference with TE's official documentation and ensure the exact part variant. Verify against the datasheet when ordering to avoid mismatches.

Identifies the company that designed and produced the component. Buyers often filter by manufacturer to ensure brand reliability, quality standards, and supply chain consistency. Verify the manufacturer against the datasheet and official packaging to avoid counterfeit parts.

Specifies the visual color of the component body or housing. Useful for identifying parts in inventory or matching design aesthetics. Verify against the datasheet or physical sample, as color may vary between manufacturers and batches.

Total number of contact positions in the connector. This determines the maximum number of electrical connections possible. Compare with your circuit requirements and verify against the datasheet to ensure the connector matches your pin count and layout.

Specifies the ambient temperature range within which the component reliably functions. Compare this with your application's thermal environment to ensure proper operation. Always verify against the datasheet for derating curves and maximum ratings.

Specifies the material of the component's outer casing, such as plastic, metal, or ceramic. This affects durability, thermal performance, and environmental resistance. Verify against datasheet for application-specific requirements like flammability or chemical exposure.

Indicates the product series or family, grouping components with similar design and specifications. Helps identify compatible parts and compare within a product line. Verify the series against the datasheet to ensure correct application.

Specifies mandatory inspections or tests that must be performed before using the component. Buyers and engineers should verify these requirements against the datasheet and quality documentation to ensure compliance with safety and reliability standards.

Indicates whether the component is original, aftermarket, or from another sourcing category. Buyers should verify this attribute to ensure supply chain authenticity and avoid counterfeit parts. Always cross-check with the datasheet and supplier documentation.

Identifies the connector system or series, such as a specific product family or standard. This helps engineers match mating connectors and ensure compatibility within a system. Verify the exact system against the datasheet to avoid mismatches in your design.

Centerline is the distance between the axes of adjacent contacts in a connector. It determines mating compatibility and PCB layout requirements. Verify this dimension against the datasheet when designing the footprint or checking connector spacing.

Specifies the general connector category, such as header, receptacle, or plug. This helps identify the mating style and mounting orientation. Verify the exact type against the datasheet to ensure compatibility with your board layout and mating connector.

Specifies the connector and housing style, such as wire-to-board or wire-to-wire. This determines mating compatibility, mounting method, and suitable wire gauge. Verify against the datasheet to ensure the connector meets your application's mechanical and electrical requirements.

Specifies how many horizontal rows of contacts the connector has. This affects the connector's footprint and mating compatibility. Verify against the datasheet to ensure the connector matches your PCB layout and mating connector requirements.
