TE Connectivity 206852-2 Circular Connector Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 206852-2 is a 9-position circular connector receptacle with male pins, designed for panel mount through-hole applications with solder termination. This component features gold-plated mating contacts, thermoplastic shell construction, and operates across a temperature range of -40°C to 105°C with a current rating of 7.5A at 250V.

The 206852-2 carries an obsolete product status. Locating equivalent or substitute components becomes necessary when original stock is depleted or when design requirements mandate active product availability and current compliance certifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete 206852-2 is determined by strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part must maintain identical specifications in the following areas:

Electrical Parameters: Current rating (7.5A), voltage rating (250V), contact finish composition (gold), and contact finish thickness (30.0µin / 0.76µm)

Mechanical Parameters: Connector type (receptacle with male pins), number of positions (9), shell size insert designation (11-9), mounting configuration (panel mount through-hole with flange), termination method (solder), fastening type (threaded), and orientation (keyed)

Material & Environmental Parameters: Shell material (thermoplastic), material flammability rating (UL94 V-0), and operating temperature range (-40°C to 105°C)

Compliance Parameters: RoHS status and REACH compliance status

The substitute part 1-206852-2 satisfies all these criteria while offering active product status and improved compliance certifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The substitute part 1-206852-2 provides complete functional and electrical equivalence to the obsolete 206852-2 across all critical parameters. Selection of the substitute is supported by the following factors:

Product Status: The substitute maintains active product status, ensuring continued availability and manufacturer support. The main part carries obsolete designation, limiting future procurement options.

Compliance Certifications: The substitute achieves ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status, compared to the main part's RoHS non-compliant and Vendor Undefined designations. This represents improved regulatory alignment for new designs and applications subject to current environmental directives.

Electrical & Mechanical Equivalence: All electrical parameters (7.5A current rating, 250V voltage rating, gold contact finish at 30.0µin thickness) and mechanical parameters (9-position receptacle, 11-9 shell size, panel mount through-hole with flange, solder termination, threaded fastening, keyed orientation) are identical between the main part and substitute.

Material & Environmental Specifications: Both parts share identical thermoplastic shell construction, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, and -40°C to 105°C operating temperature range.

Packaging Consideration: The substitute is supplied in tray packaging rather than bulk. This difference does not affect electrical or mechanical performance and reflects standard modern packaging practices for active products.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1-206852-2 substitute directly replace the 206852-2 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 1-206852-2 maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters including connector type, pin count, shell size, mounting configuration, termination method, current and voltage ratings, operating temperature range, and contact finish specifications. Direct substitution is supported without design modification.

Q: What is the difference between bulk and tray packaging?

A: Bulk packaging typically involves loose components in larger quantities, while tray packaging organizes components in segmented trays for automated handling and reduced damage risk. This packaging difference does not affect component performance, electrical characteristics, or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Why does the substitute have improved RoHS and REACH compliance status?

A: The main part 206852-2 carries obsolete status and reflects older compliance documentation standards. The substitute 1-206852-2, as an active product, has been evaluated against current ROHS3 requirements and REACH regulations, resulting in compliant and unaffected designations respectively.

Q: Are the electrical ratings identical between the two parts?

A: Yes. Both parts are rated for 7.5A current, 250V voltage, operate across -40°C to 105°C, and feature gold-plated mating contacts with 30.0µin (0.76µm) finish thickness.

Q: Is the 1-206852-2 available in the same quantities as the 206852-2?

A: The substitute is currently in stock with 1500 pieces available, compared to 977 pieces of the main part. Both are available as new original components.

Q: What are the key parameters that determine substitution eligibility?

A: Substitution is determined by equivalence in connector type (receptacle with male pins), position count (9), shell size (11-9), mounting method (panel mount through-hole with flange), termination (solder), fastening (threaded), orientation (keyed), electrical ratings (7.5A, 250V), contact finish (gold at 30.0µin), operating temperature (-40°C to 105°C), and material specifications (thermoplastic shell, UL94 V-0 rating).
