07HR-6S Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 07HR-6S is a 7-position rectangular receptacle connector manufactured by JST Sales America Inc., designed for IDC (Insulation Displacement Connector) termination with 26 AWG discrete wire. This connector features tin contact finish, detent lock fastening, and free-hanging in-line mounting. The part is currently obsolete, making identification of equivalent and substitute components essential for ongoing system support and maintenance.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the 07HR-6S is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Receptacle with female socket contacts
• Position Count & Pitch: 7 positions at 0.098" (2.50mm) pitch
• Termination Method: IDC cable termination
• Wire Gauge Compatibility: 26 AWG primary specification
• Mounting & Fastening: Free hanging in-line with detent lock
• Contact Finish: Tin plating

Two substitute categories are identified:

Direct Equivalent: Parts maintaining identical specifications across all electrical and mechanical parameters, differing only in packaging or product status.

Compatible Substitute: Parts with equivalent functional performance where wire gauge specification encompasses the original 26 AWG requirement, allowing substitution in applications where the broader gauge range is acceptable.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

07HR-6S-P-N (Direct Equivalent)

This part is the primary substitute for the obsolete 07HR-6S. It maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications while offering active product status and RoHS compliance. The only difference is packaging format (bulk vs. standard). This part is recommended for new designs and ongoing production requiring direct replacement.

177534-7 (Compatible Substitute)

This TE Connectivity part provides functional equivalence with wire gauge specification of 24-28 AWG, which encompasses the original 26 AWG requirement. It maintains all critical parameters: 7 positions, 0.098" pitch, IDC termination, tin contact finish, and free-hanging in-line mounting. RoHS compliance is confirmed. The connector body color differs (black vs. natural), which may be relevant for visual identification in applications. This part is suitable where TE Connectivity sourcing is preferred or where the broader wire gauge range is acceptable.

2-177534-7 (Compatible Substitute)

This variant of the TE Connectivity MIS series offers identical electrical and mechanical specifications to 177534-7, with natural color matching the original 07HR-6S. RoHS status is not applicable. This part is suitable for applications where color consistency with the original design is required and TE Connectivity sourcing is acceptable.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 07HR-6S-P-N be used as a direct replacement for 07HR-6S?

A: Yes. The 07HR-6S-P-N is electrically and mechanically identical to the 07HR-6S. The difference is packaging format and product status (active vs. obsolete). RoHS compliance of the substitute should be verified against system requirements.

Q: What is the difference between the JST and TE Connectivity substitutes?

A: The 07HR-6S-P-N is a direct JST equivalent with identical specifications. The TE Connectivity parts (177534-7 and 2-177534-7) are from a different manufacturer with wire gauge specification of 24-28 AWG instead of 26 AWG. All three maintain the same connector pitch, position count, termination method, and mounting configuration.

Q: Are the TE Connectivity parts (177534-7 and 2-177534-7) interchangeable?

A: Yes, electrically and mechanically. The primary difference is connector body color: 177534-7 is black, while 2-177534-7 is natural. Selection depends on visual identification requirements and RoHS compliance needs.

Q: Does wire gauge specification affect substitution compatibility?

A: The TE Connectivity parts specify 24-28 AWG, which includes the original 26 AWG. This broader specification is acceptable for substitution where the application does not require strict 26 AWG limitation. Verify wire gauge compatibility with your specific cable assembly requirements.

Q: What is the significance of RoHS compliance in selecting a substitute?

A: The original 07HR-6S is RoHS non-compliant. The 07HR-6S-P-N and 177534-7 are RoHS compliant, making them suitable for applications subject to RoHS regulations. The 2-177534-7 has RoHS status listed as not applicable. Compliance requirements should be confirmed against your system specifications.

Q: Can these connectors be used interchangeably in existing assemblies?

A: Yes, provided the mating connector is compatible with the 0.098" (2.50mm) pitch and 7-position configuration. All listed substitutes maintain these critical parameters. Physical dimensions and mounting characteristics are equivalent across all parts.
