TE Connectivity 205204-1 D-Sub Connector Housing Plug 9 Position Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 205204-1 is a D-Sub connector housing plug designed for 9-position male contact applications. This component is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent and substitute parts for ongoing procurement and system integration. The 205204-1 functions as a plug housing for D-Sub connectors in the AMPLIMITE HDP-20 series, featuring a 2-row configuration with shell size 1 (DE, E) layout. Identification of suitable substitutes ensures design continuity and system compatibility for applications currently utilizing this connector housing.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 205204-1 is determined by strict equivalence across the following core parameters: connector style (D-Sub), connector type (plug for male contacts), number of positions (9), number of rows (2), shell size and layout (1 DE, E), contact type (signal), mounting type (free hanging in-line), flange feature (unthreaded housing/shell), and color (black).

Two substitute parts meet these criteria:

205204-9 maintains identical mechanical and electrical specifications within the same AMPLIMITE HDP-20 series. This part differs in product status (active versus obsolete) and packaging format (bulk), with updated shell finish specifications (yellow trivalent chromium chromate zinc plated with 200µin thickness versus yellow chromate plated zinc) and RoHS3 compliance certification.

1757819-1 provides substitution through the AMPLIMITE 109 series with MIL-DTL-24308 military specification compliance. This part maintains all core mechanical parameters and connector configuration but incorporates polyester dielectric material (versus polyamide nylon glass filled) and military-grade shell finish specifications (yellow chromate plated zinc with 20µin thickness).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

205204-9 is the primary direct substitute for the obsolete 205204-1. Both parts share identical connector specifications, mechanical configuration, and series designation. The 205204-9 offers the advantage of active product status with higher inventory availability (3493 pieces versus 698 pieces). This part incorporates updated shell finish specifications with defined thickness (200µin) and achieves ROHS3 compliance with REACH unaffected status, addressing modern regulatory requirements. Selection of 205204-9 is appropriate for applications where commercial-grade specifications and current compliance certifications are acceptable.

1757819-1 provides an alternative substitute when military-specification compliance or aerospace/defense application requirements are present. This part maintains full mechanical and electrical compatibility while meeting MIL-DTL-24308 military standards. The 1757819-1 incorporates polyester dielectric material and military-grade shell finish specifications. This part is suitable for applications requiring military qualification or enhanced environmental performance specifications. The 1757819-1 achieves ROHS3 compliance with REACH unaffected status and carries MSL classification as not applicable, indicating suitability for military and aerospace environments.

Both substitute parts are active products with established supply chains. Selection between 205204-9 and 1757819-1 depends on application classification (commercial versus military) and specific regulatory or environmental requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 205204-9 directly replace 205204-1 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 205204-9 maintains identical connector style, type, position count, row configuration, shell size layout, contact type, mounting type, and flange feature. Both parts are housed in black polyamide nylon glass-filled dielectric material and are compatible with the same male contact sets. The primary differences are product status (active versus obsolete), packaging format (bulk), and updated shell finish specifications with defined thickness and improved compliance certifications.

Q: What is the difference between 205204-9 and 1757819-1?

A: Both parts provide mechanical and electrical compatibility with the 205204-1 across all core connector parameters. The 205204-9 is a direct commercial-grade equivalent within the AMPLIMITE HDP-20 series. The 1757819-1 is a military-specification equivalent within the AMPLIMITE 109 series meeting MIL-DTL-24308 standards. The 1757819-1 uses polyester dielectric material instead of polyamide nylon glass filled and incorporates military-grade shell finish specifications. Selection depends on application classification and regulatory requirements.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 205204-1 and 205204-9 are both available in bulk packaging. The 205204-9 offers significantly higher inventory availability (3493 pieces versus 698 pieces), providing better supply chain continuity for ongoing production requirements.

Q: Do these parts include contacts?

A: No. All three parts (205204-1, 205204-9, and 1757819-1) are connector housings only. Contacts are not included and must be procured separately. Ensure that selected male contact sets are compatible with the 9-position, 2-row shell size 1 (DE, E) configuration.

Q: What are the compliance differences between these parts?

A: The 205204-1 is RoHS non-compliant with vendor-undefined REACH status. The 205204-9 achieves ROHS3 compliance with REACH unaffected status. The 1757819-1 achieves ROHS3 compliance with REACH unaffected status and carries military specification compliance (MIL-DTL-24308). For applications subject to RoHS or REACH regulations, both 205204-9 and 1757819-1 are suitable alternatives.

Q: What is the significance of shell finish thickness specifications?

A: The 205204-9 specifies shell finish thickness of 200µin (5.08µm) with yellow trivalent chromium chromate zinc plating. The 1757819-1 specifies shell finish thickness of 20µin (0.51µm) with yellow chromate plated zinc. The 205204-1 does not specify finish thickness. These specifications define corrosion resistance and environmental durability characteristics. The 205204-9 provides enhanced corrosion protection through increased finish thickness and trivalent chromium formulation, suitable for commercial applications. The 1757819-1 provides military-grade specifications suitable for aerospace and defense environments.

Q: Are these parts interchangeable in mating cycles and operating temperature applications?

A: The provided specifications do not include mating cycle or operating temperature data for any of these parts. Consult detailed technical datasheets or contact the manufacturer for environmental performance specifications if these parameters are critical to application requirements.
