Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 180-062-203L021 is the appropriate substitute for the obsolete 180-062-202-021. The substitute part maintains identical mechanical and electrical interface specifications while offering the following advantages:

Product Status: The substitute is active production, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity compared to the obsolete main part.

Compliance: The substitute achieves ROHS3 compliance, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic components in many jurisdictions. The main part is RoHS non-compliant.

Current Rating: The substitute provides a higher current rating of 5A compared to the main part's 2A rating, offering improved performance margin in applications requiring higher current capacity.

Shell Finish: The substitute features nickel plating instead of tin plating, providing enhanced corrosion resistance and durability in demanding environments.

All other critical parameters remain equivalent, ensuring direct functional replacement without design modification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 180-062-203L021 be used as a direct replacement for the 180-062-202-021?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical pin counts (62 positions), row configuration (3 rows), connector layout (4 DC, C high density), mounting type (panel mount), and termination method (solder cup). The mechanical and electrical interfaces are fully compatible.

Q: What are the differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are: (1) Product status—the substitute is active production while the main part is obsolete; (2) RoHS compliance—the substitute meets ROHS3 requirements; (3) Current rating—the substitute supports 5A versus 2A; (4) Shell finish—the substitute uses nickel plating instead of tin plating; (5) Contact material specification—the substitute lists brass contact material.

Q: Does the higher current rating of the substitute affect compatibility?

A: No. A higher current rating indicates improved performance capability and does not create incompatibility. The substitute can safely handle applications designed for the main part's 2A rating.

Q: Are there packaging differences?

A: The substitute is supplied in tray packaging. Packaging format does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility, only handling and storage considerations.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: The 180-062-203L021 should be selected for new designs due to active production status, regulatory compliance, and superior performance specifications.
