Functional Equivalence: All electrical and mechanical parameters are identical between the two parts, including connector type, position count, shell size, mounting configuration, material composition, temperature rating, and flammability certification. No functional limitations or design modifications are required for substitution.

Supply Availability: The 206037-2 maintains substantial inventory levels (1,000,200 pieces), providing reliable long-term supply compared to the limited availability of the obsolete 183082-1.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 206037-2 be used as a direct replacement for 183082-1 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 206037-2 is a direct functional equivalent. All electrical and mechanical parameters match the 183082-1 specification, including connector type, position count, shell size, mounting type, fastening mechanism, material composition, and operating temperature range. No design modifications are required.

Q: What is the difference between the two part numbers?

A: The primary differences are product status and compliance level. The 183082-1 is obsolete with RoHS Compliant certification, while the 206037-2 is an active product with ROHS3 Compliant certification. The 206037-2 also specifies bulk packaging. All functional and electrical characteristics are identical.

Q: Why is the 183082-1 listed as obsolete?

A: The 183082-1 has been discontinued by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors. The 206037-2 serves as the active replacement in the product line, maintaining identical specifications while providing enhanced compliance and ongoing manufacturing support.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns when substituting 206037-2 for 183082-1?

A: No compatibility concerns exist. Both parts are CPC Series 3 circular connectors with identical shell size (17-3), mounting configuration (free hanging in-line), fastening type (threaded), and contact specifications. The parts are mechanically and electrically interchangeable.

Q: Does the packaging difference affect component performance?

A: No. Packaging format (bulk versus other configurations) does not affect the electrical or mechanical performance of the connector. Packaging is a logistics consideration only and does not impact functional equivalence or compatibility.

Q: What certifications apply to the 206037-2?

A: The 206037-2 carries ROHS3 Compliant certification, UL94 V-0 material flammability rating, and maintains EAR99 export classification. These certifications meet current regulatory requirements for circular connector applications.

Q: Is the 206037-2 suitable for the same operating temperature range as the 183082-1?

A: Yes. Both parts operate across the identical temperature range of -55°C to 105°C, ensuring thermal performance equivalence across all environmental conditions.
