Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 205817-1 is determined by the following critical parameters: accessory type (jackscrew socket), thread size specification (4-40 socket and screw), and physical dimensions (length measurements). Parts meeting these criteria maintain functional compatibility with AMPLIMITE Series HDF and HDP connector systems.

The substitute parts are grouped into two categories:

Direct Equivalent: Parts sharing identical functional specifications, thread sizing, and dimensional characteristics with the original component.

Similar Equivalent: Parts meeting core thread and accessory type requirements but with dimensional variations that may affect specific installation scenarios.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

5205817-1 (Direct Equivalent - Recommended Primary Substitute)

The 5205817-1 is the preferred substitute for the obsolete 205817-1. This part maintains identical dimensional specifications (0.312" threaded length), matching thread size (4-40), and equivalent functional design. Both components are manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors and are designated for AMPLIMITE Series HDF and HDP applications. The 5205817-1 carries Active product status with RoHS Compliant certification, providing regulatory compliance and supply chain availability. Current inventory of 1429 pieces supports production requirements.

160-000-013R031 (Similar Equivalent - Secondary Option)

The 160-000-013R031 provides an alternative from NorComp Inc. with matching thread specifications (4-40 socket and screw) and jackscrew socket configuration. This part features a reduced threaded length of 0.197" (5.00mm) compared to the original 0.312" specification. The dimensional difference requires verification of mechanical fit within the target connector assembly. The 160-000-013R031 carries Active product status with ROHS3 Compliant certification and REACH Unaffected status. Inventory availability is 6811 pieces.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5205817-1 directly replace the obsolete 205817-1?

A: Yes. The 5205817-1 maintains identical thread size (4-40 socket and screw), threaded length (0.312"), and functional design. Both are TE Connectivity AMP Connectors products for AMPLIMITE Series HDF and HDP applications. The primary difference is product status (Active versus Obsolete) and RoHS compliance certification.

Q: What is the key difference between the 5205817-1 and 160-000-013R031?

A: Both parts share 4-40 thread specifications and jackscrew socket functionality. The primary distinction is threaded length: the 5205817-1 measures 0.312" while the 160-000-013R031 measures 0.197". This dimensional difference may affect mechanical fit depending on connector cavity depth and assembly requirements.

Q: Which substitute is suitable for AMPLIMITE Series HDF and HDP connectors?

A: The 5205817-1 is specified for AMPLIMITE Series HDF and HDP applications. The 160-000-013R031 is designated for general D-Sub connector applications. Verify connector compatibility before selecting the 160-000-013R031 for AMPLIMITE-specific assemblies.

Q: Are both substitutes RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The 5205817-1 is RoHS Compliant, and the 160-000-013R031 is ROHS3 Compliant. Both meet current regulatory requirements for restricted substance management.

Q: What packaging options are available?

A: The 5205817-1 is supplied in Bulk packaging. The 160-000-013R031 is supplied in Box packaging. Original 205817-1 packaging information was not specified in available documentation.

Q: How do thread specifications affect substitution?

A: All three parts utilize identical 4-40 socket and 4-40 screw specifications, ensuring mechanical compatibility at the threaded interface. Thread size is the primary parameter determining interchangeability with mating connector components.
