Closest Functional Peer: 1-2232960-3
The closest functional second-source is the 1-2232960-3. It shares the same 3-position, single-row, shrouded, locking ramp design, same 0.098" pitch, same tin contacts, and same UL94 V-0 material. The main difference is the package: the 1-1971817-3 ships in Bulk, while the 1-2232960-3 ships in Box. Both are Active. If you have a preferred packaging format or a supplier relationship, that may tip the choice.
