Amphenol 10-707515-0M2 Rectangular Connector Pin Contact: Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol 10-707515-0M2 is an active rectangular connector pin contact designed for 16-18 AWG wire termination using crimp attachment. This machined gold-plated pin contact is part of the RADSOK® series and is RoHS compliant with MSL 1 rating. The part is currently in active production status with 925 units in stock. Substitute parts may be required due to packaging format availability, inventory constraints, or specific application requirements where alternative contact construction types are acceptable within the same electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 10-707515-0M2 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Wire Gauge: 16-18 AWG
• Contact Termination: Crimp
• Contact Finish: Gold
• Pin or Socket: Pin
• Series: RADSOK®
• RoHS Compliance: RoHS Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

Allowable Variation:

• Contact Type: Machined or Stamped construction are functionally equivalent for this application category, provided all other parameters remain identical.

Packaging Variation:

• Original packaging format (Bulk) may be substituted with alternative packaging (Cut Tape) without affecting electrical or mechanical performance.

The substitute part 10-707515-002 meets all mandatory matching parameters and represents a valid equivalent with stamped contact construction and Cut Tape packaging.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 10-707515-0M2 and 10-707515-002 are active production parts manufactured by Amphenol Industrial Operations within the RADSOK® series. Both parts carry identical RoHS compliance certification and MSL 1 rating, confirming suitability for unrestricted moisture environments and compliance with current regulatory standards.

The primary distinction between these parts is contact construction (machined versus stamped) and packaging format (bulk versus cut tape). Both construction methods are established manufacturing processes for rectangular connector pin contacts and deliver equivalent electrical and mechanical performance within the specified 16-18 AWG crimp termination application.

Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Packaging requirements for assembly or procurement workflows
• Inventory availability for production scheduling
• Cost considerations associated with packaging format
• No technical performance differentiation exists between the two parts for this application

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 10-707515-002 (stamped contact) be used as a direct replacement for the 10-707515-0M2 (machined contact)?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications, wire gauge rating (16-18 AWG), crimp termination method, gold contact finish, and RoHS compliance. Stamped and machined contact construction are functionally equivalent for this rectangular connector pin contact application.

Q: Does packaging format affect compatibility or performance?

A: No. The difference between Bulk packaging (10-707515-0M2) and Cut Tape packaging (10-707515-002) is a logistics and handling consideration only. Electrical and mechanical performance are identical. Packaging selection depends on assembly process requirements and inventory management practices.

Q: Are both parts suitable for the same wire gauge applications?

A: Yes. Both parts are rated for 16-18 AWG wire termination using crimp attachment. Wire gauge compatibility is identical between the two parts.

Q: What is the significance of the MSL 1 rating on both parts?

A: MSL 1 (Moisture Sensitivity Level 1) indicates unlimited shelf life without moisture control requirements. Both parts can be stored and handled without special humidity or temperature controls, simplifying inventory management and reducing handling costs.

Q: Are there any compliance or regulatory differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts carry identical RoHS compliance certification and EAR99 export classification. No regulatory or compliance differentiation exists between the two parts.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: Both parts are active production items suitable for new designs. Selection should be based on packaging format preference, inventory availability, and procurement cost. No technical performance advantage exists for either part in new design applications.
