TE Connectivity 178803
178803 variants from TE Connectivity
178803 Overview
What changes between part numbers, and what to check before you lock the BOM — Connectors.
Key Features
- Lifecycle mix: ActiveConfirm lifecycle on the exact MPN, not just the base number prefix.
- 3 distinct suffix patternsExamples: 3, 6, 8. Decode suffix meaning in the ordering notes under the variant table.
Target Applications
- Connectors — design-in and field replacement
- BOM scrub where only the base prefix is known but suffix is TBD
- Second-source checks when the original MPN is constrained
Ordering Variants
Compare 3 178803 part numbers by package, electrical parameters, lifecycle, and availability. Use RFQ for stock and lead-time confirmation.
| Part Number | Description | Manufacturer | Lifecycle | RoHS | Availability | Action |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 178803-3 | 6P 3.81mm Pitch Female Power Connector, UL, 250V, Crimp, Panel Mount | TE Connectivity | Active | Compliant | In Stock | |
| 178803-6 | 12P Power Connector, Wire-to-Wire, Tab, 250V, UL94 V-0 | TE Connectivity | Active | Compliant | In Stock | |
| 178803-8 | 20 Pos Male Wire-to-Wire Power Connector, 250V, UL94 V-0, Crimp | TE Connectivity | Active | Compliant | In Stock |

How to Choose the Right 178803 Connectors
Match the footprint first
Pull the exact package drawing for your MPN — base-number swaps fail most often at the footprint, not the schematic.
Electrical headroom
Compare voltage and current columns in the variant table. For 178803, a suffix with lower voltage or current rating will not survive the same circuit without recalculation.
Temp grade letter matters
Commercial (0–70 °C) and industrial (−40–85 °C+) suffixes look similar in the prefix — confirm ambient + self-heating, not just the first page of the datasheet.
Copy the full MPN
Do not BOM only "178803" — include the full suffix (e.g. 3, 6, 8). RFQ with reel/tube preference and required date code.
