Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for rectangular header connectors is determined by strict equivalence across electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary criteria for substitution are:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Connector type (Header)
• Number of positions (4)
• Pitch - mating (0.197" / 5.00mm)
• Number of rows (2)
• Row spacing - mating (0.197" / 5.00mm)
• Mounting type (Through Hole)
• Contact type (Female Socket)
• Contact finish - mating (Gold)
• Current rating (7.5A)
• Voltage rating (600V)
• Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 130°C)

The substitute part 207496-9 maintains complete electrical and mechanical compatibility with the original 1-207496-0 across all critical parameters. The primary distinction is product status: the original part is obsolete, while the substitute is active. Secondary differences include packaging format and the addition of a mounting flange feature on the substitute.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The substitute part 207496-9 is a direct functional equivalent to the obsolete 1-207496-0. All critical electrical and mechanical parameters are identical, ensuring seamless integration into existing PCB designs without layout modifications.

Product Status Consideration: The original part 1-207496-0 is classified as obsolete with limited inventory (882 Pcs). The substitute 207496-9 is active with significantly higher inventory availability (2666 Pcs), providing long-term procurement security.

Compliance Enhancement: The substitute part 207496-9 carries ROHS3 compliance certification, whereas the original part status is not applicable. This compliance upgrade aligns with current regulatory requirements for electronic components in many markets.

Design Integration: The addition of a mounting flange on the substitute part provides enhanced mechanical stability during PCB assembly. This feature does not compromise compatibility and offers improved robustness in production environments.

Packaging Consideration: The substitute is supplied in bulk packaging format, which may require adjustment to procurement and storage procedures compared to the original packaging specification.

For new designs or component refresh cycles, 207496-9 is the recommended selection. For legacy system maintenance requiring exact original specifications, 1-207496-0 remains available while inventory permits.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 1-207496-0 and 207496-9 electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain identical electrical specifications including 7.5A current rating, 600V voltage rating, and operating temperature range of -55°C to 130°C. They are direct electrical equivalents.

Q: Can 207496-9 be used as a direct replacement in existing PCB designs?

A: Yes. The 207496-9 maintains identical mechanical dimensions, pitch (0.197" / 5.00mm), mounting type (through-hole), and contact configuration (4 positions, 2 rows). No PCB layout modifications are required.

Q: What is the significance of the mounting flange feature on 207496-9?

A: The mounting flange provides additional mechanical support during PCB assembly and operation. This feature enhances connector stability without affecting electrical performance or physical compatibility with mating components.

Q: Does the ROHS3 compliance on 207496-9 affect compatibility with the original design?

A: No. ROHS3 compliance indicates enhanced environmental and regulatory adherence. The compliance status does not alter electrical or mechanical function and represents an improvement over the original part's non-applicable status.

Q: What is the difference in packaging between the two parts?

A: The original 1-207496-0 packaging specification is not detailed in the documentation. The substitute 207496-9 is supplied in bulk packaging format. Bulk packaging typically accommodates higher-volume procurement and may require different storage and handling procedures.

Q: Is the 207496-9 suitable for new product designs?

A: Yes. The 207496-9 is classified as active with robust inventory availability. It is the appropriate selection for new designs, providing long-term component availability and regulatory compliance.

Q: Are there any performance differences between the two parts?

A: No performance differences exist. Both parts utilize identical contact materials (phosphor bronze), contact finishes (gold mating, tin post), and insulation materials (polyamide/nylon). Performance characteristics are equivalent across all operating conditions.

Q: What inventory status should influence component selection?

A: The original 1-207496-0 has limited inventory (882 Pcs) and obsolete status. The substitute 207496-9 has significantly higher availability (2666 Pcs) and active status. For procurement planning, 207496-9 provides superior long-term supply security.
