TE Connectivity 207252-1 D-Sub Connector Housing Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 207252-1 is a D-Sub connector housing plug designed for 9-position male contact applications. This component functions as the shell assembly for AMPLIMITE 109 series D-Sub connectors, providing the mechanical structure and contact retention for signal transmission in aerospace, defense, and marine applications.

The 207252-1 is currently discontinued at DiGi Electronics. Identification of functionally equivalent substitute parts is necessary to maintain design continuity and ensure procurement availability for ongoing production and field service requirements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 207252-1 are identified based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence within the D-Sub connector housing category. The substitution logic is based on the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility Parameters:

• Connector style (D-Sub)
• Connector type (Plug for Male Contacts)
• Number of positions (9)
• Number of rows (2)
• Shell size and connector layout (1 / DE, E)
• Contact type (Signal)

Mechanical Compatibility Parameters:

• Mounting type (Free Hanging / In-Line)
• Flange feature (Housing/Shell, Unthreaded)
• Shell material and finish (Brass, Gold Plated)
• Dielectric material (Polyester, Glass Filled)

Regulatory Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS compliance status
• ECCN classification (EAR99)
• HTSUS code (8538.90.8180)

Parts matching all critical parameters across these three categories are classified as direct substitutes. Variations in packaging type, color, or product status do not affect functional substitutability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 207252-2 is a direct functional substitute for the 207252-1 based on complete electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. Both parts share identical connector specifications, shell construction, and regulatory compliance classifications.

Product Status Consideration: The 207252-1 is discontinued at DiGi Electronics, while the 207252-2 maintains active product status. This availability difference supports selection of the 207252-2 for new procurement activities.

Compliance Status: Both parts meet RoHS requirements. The 207252-2 carries ROHS3 compliance certification, which represents current regulatory standards. Both parts are classified under identical ECCN and HTSUS codes, confirming equivalent export control and tariff treatment.

Packaging Difference: The 207252-2 is supplied in bulk packaging, whereas the 207252-1 packaging type is not specified. This packaging variation does not affect functional performance or mechanical compatibility.

Color Variation: The 207252-1 is supplied in black housing, while the 207252-2 is supplied in blue housing. Color selection may be driven by application-specific identification requirements or design documentation. This parameter does not affect electrical or mechanical function.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 207252-1 and 207252-2 mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts are identical in connector style, position count, shell size, mounting type, and flange configuration. They are mechanically interchangeable in all applications where the 207252-1 was originally specified.

Q: Do the 207252-1 and 207252-2 have the same electrical performance?

A: Yes. Both parts are identical in connector type, contact type, shell material, finish, and dielectric material. They provide equivalent electrical performance for signal transmission applications.

Q: What is the difference between the 207252-1 and 207252-2?

A: The primary differences are product status, packaging type, and housing color. The 207252-1 is discontinued and supplied in black housing. The 207252-2 is active, supplied in bulk packaging, and features blue housing. All electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Can I use the 207252-2 as a replacement for the 207252-1 in existing designs?

A: Yes, provided that housing color is not a design-critical parameter. If color identification is required by design documentation or application standards, the color difference must be evaluated against specific requirements.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The 207252-1 is RoHS Compliant. The 207252-2 is ROHS3 Compliant. Both meet current RoHS regulatory requirements.

Q: What is the base product number for these parts?

A: Both the 207252-1 and 207252-2 share the base product number 207252. The numeric suffix indicates packaging or configuration variants within the same product family.

Q: Are contacts included with these connector housings?

A: No. Both the 207252-1 and 207252-2 are supplied as housing assemblies only. Male contacts must be procured separately and installed into the housing.
