JST 07DB-8M Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The JST 07DB-8M is a 7-position individual wires connector with IDC (Insulation Displacement Contact) termination, designed for 24-28 AWG stranded wire applications. This connector features through-hole, press-fit mounting on PCBs with a 0.098" (2.50mm) pitch. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for ongoing design support and procurement planning.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 07DB-8M is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

• Number of positions: 7
• Cable pitch and board-side pitch: 0.098" (2.50mm)
• Wire gauge compatibility: 24-28 AWG, stranded
• Mounting type: Through hole, press-fit
• Cable termination method: IDC
• Contact finish: Tin-Lead
• Features: Closed end
• Series: DB

The substitute parts 07DB-4K and 07DB-6S meet all electrical and mechanical requirements for direct substitution. The primary difference between these parts is connector color (green for 07DB-8M, black for 07DB-4K, white for 07DB-6S), which does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. Both substitute parts are active products with current manufacturing status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both 07DB-4K and 07DB-6S are suitable replacements for the obsolete 07DB-8M. Selection between these two active alternatives should be based on color coding requirements for your application. The 07DB-4K (black) and 07DB-6S (white) provide identical electrical and mechanical performance to the original part.

All three connectors share the same RoHS non-compliant status and MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity constraints during storage or handling. The transition from the obsolete 07DB-8M to either active substitute ensures continued availability and manufacturing support for new production runs and field replacements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 07DB-4K or 07DB-6S be used as direct replacements for 07DB-8M?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent. They share identical pitch specifications (0.098"), wire gauge compatibility (24-28 AWG stranded), mounting type (through-hole press-fit), and IDC termination method. The only difference is connector color.

Q: Does connector color affect electrical performance?

A: No. Color is a visual identifier only and does not impact electrical or mechanical function. Selection should be based on your application's color-coding requirements.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between the main part and substitutes?

A: All three parts share identical RoHS non-compliance status and MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited). No compliance advantages exist between the obsolete part and its active substitutes.

Q: What is the significance of the product status change from Obsolete to Active?

A: The active status of 07DB-4K and 07DB-6S ensures ongoing manufacturing availability, current inventory levels, and continued technical support from JST Sales America Inc. This eliminates supply chain risk associated with the obsolete 07DB-8M.

Q: Are packaging differences relevant to substitution?

A: Packaging format (bulk vs. other configurations) does not affect connector compatibility. Selection should prioritize electrical and mechanical equivalence over packaging type.
