Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 207008-2 is determined by strict equivalence across all mechanical and electrical parameters. The substitute part must maintain identical specifications for shell size, thread size, cable opening diameter, outside diameter, cable exit angle, material composition, color, and included components. The base product number 207008 serves as the common identifier for this product family. Parts within this grouping are interchangeable when all specified parameters match exactly. The primary distinction between the main part and its substitute relates to product status and regulatory compliance, not functional or dimensional characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 207008-6 serves as the direct functional equivalent to the 207008-2. Both parts share identical mechanical and electrical specifications, including shell size, thread configuration, cable opening dimensions, and material properties. The 207008-6 is classified as an active product with current manufacturing status, whereas the 207008-2 is obsolete. The 207008-6 achieves ROHS3 compliance and carries REACH Unaffected status, providing enhanced regulatory alignment for new designs and ongoing production. Selection of the 207008-6 eliminates supply chain risk associated with obsolete components while maintaining full dimensional and functional compatibility with existing CPC connector assemblies. Both parts carry identical UL94 V-0 flammability ratings and include the same cable clamp and screw components.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 207008-2 and 207008-6 mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain identical specifications for shell size (13), thread size (3/4-20 UNEF), cable opening diameter (0.703"), outside diameter (1.131"), cable exit angle (180°), and material composition (thermoplastic). They are direct mechanical substitutes.

Q: What is the primary reason to transition from 207008-2 to 207008-6?

A: The 207008-2 is classified as obsolete, creating supply chain discontinuity. The 207008-6 is an active product with current manufacturing support.
