180-062-212-021 D-Sub High Density Receptacle Connector

Part Overview

The 180-062-212-021 is a 62-position D-Sub high density receptacle connector manufactured by NorComp Inc., designed for panel mount applications with female socket contacts. This connector is part of the 180 series and provides a standardized interface for high-density signal transmission in electronic assemblies. The part is currently in active production with 1121 units available in new original stock condition.

Alternative equivalent parts may be required due to supply chain considerations, packaging preferences, or specific application requirements where direct substitutes from the same manufacturer or compatible alternatives are needed.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 180-062-212-021 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Direct Substitutes must match:

• Connector style: D-Sub, High Density
• Number of positions: 62
• Connector type: Receptacle, Female Sockets
• Mounting type: Panel Mount
• Termination method: Solder
• Shell size: 4 (DC, C) High Density
• Current rating: 3A minimum
• Operating temperature range: -50°C ~ 100°C minimum

Similar/Compatible Alternatives may differ in:

• Manufacturer identity
• Packaging format
• Number of rows (if position count remains equivalent)
• Shell material finish (nickel vs. tin plating)
• Contact finish specifications
• Specific flange features

The substitute part 180-062-213R021 from NorComp Inc. qualifies as a direct equivalent, sharing identical electrical and mechanical specifications with packaging in tray format. The part 09641127215 from HARTING represents a different connector class (9-position D-Sub) and is not functionally equivalent to the main part.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 180-062-213R021 from NorComp Inc. is the direct functional equivalent to the 180-062-212-021. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, active products with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary difference is packaging format: the 180-062-213R021 is supplied in tray packaging versus the standard packaging of the main part. Selection between these two should be based on inventory availability and packaging requirements for assembly operations.

The 09641127215 from HARTING is not recommended as a substitute for the 180-062-212-021 due to fundamental incompatibility: it is a 9-position D-Sub connector with a different shell size (1 vs. 4), different row configuration (2 vs. 3), and different current rating (7.5A vs. 3A). This part cannot fulfill the same functional role in applications designed for 62-position high-density connectors.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 180-062-213R021 be used as a direct replacement for the 180-062-212-021?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical specifications for number of positions (62), connector style (D-Sub High Density), connector type (Receptacle, Female Sockets), mounting configuration (Panel Mount, Through Hole), termination method (Solder), current rating (3A), and operating temperature range (-50°C ~ 100°C). The difference in packaging (tray vs. standard) does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Why is the 09641127215 listed as a substitute if it has different specifications?

A: The 09641127215 is not a functional substitute for the 180-062-212-021. It is a different connector class with 9 positions instead of 62, incompatible shell size, and different electrical ratings. This part should not be selected for applications requiring 62-position high-density D-Sub receptacles.

Q: What are the critical parameters that must match for a valid substitute?

A: For direct substitution of the 180-062-212-021, the following parameters must match: 62 positions, D-Sub High Density style, Receptacle with Female Sockets, Panel Mount Through Hole mounting, Solder termination, 3A current rating minimum, and -50°C ~ 100°C operating temperature range.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between the main part and the 180-062-213R021?

A: No. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. Both carry the same material flammability rating (UL94 V-0) and are classified under the same ECCN and HTSUS codes.

Q: What should be considered when choosing between packaging options?

A: The 180-062-212-021 uses standard packaging while the 180-062-213R021 uses tray packaging. Selection should be based on assembly line requirements, storage considerations, and handling procedures. Both formats contain the same connector with identical performance characteristics.
