Engineering Selection Recommendations

5205817-2 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors): This part is the direct equivalent to the obsolete 205817-2. Both parts are manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors and share identical mechanical and electrical specifications. The 5205817-2 carries an active product status and is ROHS3 compliant, making it the primary selection for direct replacement applications. This part is available in bag packaging and maintains REACH affected status consistent with the original part.

7231 (Keystone Electronics): This part satisfies all critical mechanical and electrical parameters required for D-Sub connector jackscrew socket applications. The 7231 is manufactured by Keystone Electronics and carries an active product status with ROHS3 compliance. This part differs in that it is REACH unaffected and supplied in bulk packaging. The 7231 is suitable for applications where cross-manufacturer sourcing is acceptable and REACH compliance status is not a constraint.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5205817-2 be used as a direct replacement for the obsolete 205817-2?

A: Yes. The 5205817-2 is a direct equivalent with identical thread size (4-40 Socket, 4-40 Screw), threaded portion length (0.312" / 7.92mm), and below head length (0.312" / 7.92mm). Both parts are manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors and are designed for AMPLIMITE Series HDF and HDP connectors.

Q: What are the key differences between the 5205817-2 and 7231?

A: Both parts meet the mechanical and electrical requirements for D-Sub jackscrew socket applications with matching thread sizes and lengths. The primary differences are manufacturer (TE Connectivity versus Keystone Electronics), packaging format (bag versus bulk), and REACH compliance status (REACH affected versus REACH unaffected).

Q: Is the 7231 compatible with AMPLIMITE Series HDF and HDP connectors?

A: The 7231 is specified for general D-Sub connector applications. Compatibility with specific AMPLIMITE Series HDF and HDP connectors is determined by the matching thread size (4-40 Socket, 4-40 Screw) and dimensional specifications (0.312" threaded portion length and 0.312" below head length), which are identical to the original part.

Q: What packaging options are available for these substitute parts?

A: The 5205817-2 is supplied in bag packaging, while the 7231 is supplied in bulk packaging. Both parts contain hardware as specified.

Q: Are both substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the 5205817-2 and 7231 are ROHS3 compliant. The original 205817-2 carries a "not applicable" RoHS status due to its obsolete classification.

Q: What is the REACH compliance status of these parts?

A: The 5205817-2 maintains REACH affected status consistent with the original part. The 7231 is REACH unaffected. Selection between these parts may depend on REACH compliance requirements for your application.
