Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete 205817-8 with the active equivalent 5205817-8 is based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter alignment. Both components share identical specifications across all functional criteria: identical thread size (4-40 Socket, 4-40 Screw), identical threaded portion length (0.312" / 7.92mm), identical overall length below head (0.312" / 7.92mm), identical accessory type classification (Jackscrew Socket), and identical application compatibility with AMPLIMITE Series HDF and HDP connectors. The substitution is valid based on these matching mechanical and functional parameters. The primary distinction between the parts is product status (obsolete versus active) and packaging configuration (unspecified versus bulk), along with updated compliance certifications on the active equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity 5205817-8 serves as the direct active equivalent for the obsolete 205817-8 jackscrew socket. Selection of the 5205817-8 is supported by complete mechanical and functional parameter equivalence across all critical specifications. The substitute part maintains identical thread specifications (4-40 Socket, 4-40 Screw), identical dimensional characteristics (0.312" threaded portion length), and identical application compatibility with AMPLIMITE Series HDF and HDP connectors.

The 5205817-8 provides additional advantages through active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and manufacturer support. The substitute part carries RoHS Compliant certification and REACH Affected status, reflecting current regulatory compliance standards. These compliance attributes make the 5205817-8 suitable for applications subject to modern environmental and hazardous substance restrictions.

For applications requiring the obsolete 205817-8, direct substitution with 5205817-8 is appropriate based on complete parameter alignment. Inventory availability of the substitute part (5117 pieces in stock) supports immediate procurement without design modification or connector assembly changes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5205817-8 directly replace the 205817-8 in existing AMPLIMITE connector assemblies?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical mechanical specifications including thread size (4-40 Socket, 4-40 Screw), threaded portion length (0.312" / 7.92mm), and application compatibility with AMPLIMITE Series HDF and HDP connectors. Direct substitution is supported by complete parameter equivalence.

Q: What is the primary difference between 205817-8 and 5205817-8?

A: The primary differences are product status (obsolete versus active) and packaging configuration (unspecified versus bulk). The 5205817-8 also carries updated compliance certifications: RoHS Compliant and REACH Affected status, compared to the 205817-8 which lists these as not applicable or vendor undefined.

Q: Are there any dimensional or threading incompatibilities between these parts?

A: No. Both parts are identical in all dimensional and threading specifications. Thread size, threaded portion length, and overall length below head are identical across both components.

Q: What packaging is available for the substitute part?

A: The 5205817-8 is supplied in bulk packaging configuration. The original 205817-8 packaging specification is not defined in available documentation.

Q: Does the 5205817-8 include hardware?

A: Yes. The 5205817-8 includes hardware as a standard feature, matching the hardware inclusion specification of the original 205817-8.

Q: Is the 5205817-8 suitable for applications with RoHS or REACH compliance requirements?

A: Yes. The 5205817-8 carries RoHS Compliant certification and REACH Affected status, making it appropriate for applications subject to these regulatory requirements. The original 205817-8 does not carry these certifications.
