Obsolete — Sourcing Through Surplus and Broker Channels
The 2-2178713-0 is officially obsolete per TE Connectivity's lifecycle status. No direct replacement or successor part number is listed on record.
The through-hole mounting provides robust mechanical retention for the ribbon cable entry point, where strain from the cable can otherwise stress surface-mount joints.
