Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 206763-3 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Parameters: Contact type (Male Pin), current rating (7.5A), and voltage rating (600V) must remain constant to ensure circuit integrity and safety compliance.

Mechanical Parameters: Number of positions (24), number of rows (4), pitch spacing (0.197" / 5.00mm), row spacing (0.197" / 5.00mm), mounting type (Through Hole), shrouding configuration (Shrouded - 4 Wall), and termination method (Solder) must be identical for physical and functional compatibility.

Environmental Parameters: Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 130°C) and material flammability rating (UL94 V-0) must be maintained for application suitability.

Series Designation: The Metrimate series classification ensures connector family consistency.

The substitute part 1-206763-3 satisfies all these criteria while offering improved product status and regulatory compliance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The substitute part 1-206763-3 provides direct functional and mechanical equivalence to the 206763-3 while offering significant advantages in product lifecycle and regulatory compliance.

Product Status Advantage: The 206763-3 is classified as obsolete, creating supply chain risk and limiting availability for future production runs or field replacements. The 1-206763-3 maintains active product status, ensuring continued availability and manufacturer support.

Regulatory Compliance: The 206763-3 is RoHS non-compliant, whereas the 1-206763-3 is ROHS3 compliant. This distinction is critical for applications subject to European Union Restriction of Hazardous Substances regulations and for manufacturers requiring compliance documentation.

Contact Finish Specification: The primary technical difference is the contact finish on the post termination. The 206763-3 specifies Tin-Lead finish, while the 1-206763-3 specifies Tin finish. Both finishes maintain the identical thickness specification of 150.0µin (3.81µm) and provide equivalent solder joint reliability and electrical performance for the specified current and voltage ratings.

Packaging Consideration: The 1-206763-3 is supplied in Tray packaging, which may differ from the original packaging of the 206763-3. Packaging format does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility but may influence handling, storage, and inventory management procedures.

All other electrical, mechanical, and environmental parameters remain identical between the two parts, confirming full substitution compatibility for applications currently utilizing the 206763-3.
