The 173081-4: ROHS3 compliant — the part meets the latest EU restriction on hazardous substances, which simplifies compliance for equipment sold into regulated markets.
The 173081-4 offers a wider pitch (2.50 mm vs 2.00 mm), gold plating instead of tin, and a higher voltage rating (250 VAC vs 125 VAC) — a meaningful upgrade for applications that need better corrosion resistance or higher isolation.
