Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 207120-2 is determined by strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part must maintain identical specifications in the following categories:

Electrical Parameters: Contact type (Male Pin), current rating (7.5A), voltage rating (600V), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 130°C).

Mechanical Parameters: Number of positions (12), number of rows (3), pitch spacing (0.197" / 5.00mm), row spacing (0.197" / 5.00mm), shrouding configuration (Shrouded - 4 Wall), mounting type (Through Hole), termination method (Solder), and fastening type (Latch Lock).

Material and Compliance Parameters: Contact material (Brass), contact finish (Tin), insulation material (Polyamide/Nylon), material flammability rating (UL94 V-0), and series designation (Metrimate).

The substitute part 1-207120-0 meets all these criteria and is therefore a direct functional equivalent to the 207120-2.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The substitute part 1-207120-0 is a direct functional equivalent to the obsolete 207120-2. All critical electrical and mechanical parameters are identical, ensuring complete interchangeability in circuit design and board layout applications.

The primary distinction between these parts is product status and compliance certification. The 207120-2 is classified as obsolete, while 1-207120-0 maintains active product status with ROHS3 compliance certification. The substitute part is packaged in trays, whereas the main part packaging specification is not provided.

For new designs and ongoing production requiring this connector configuration, 1-207120-0 is the appropriate selection. This part maintains full electrical and mechanical compatibility while offering the advantage of active product status and current regulatory compliance. The identical specifications across all functional parameters ensure that existing designs utilizing 207120-2 can transition to 1-207120-0 without modification to PCB layouts, mating connectors, or electrical performance characteristics.
