TE Connectivity 207345-2 D-Sub Backshell Connector Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 207345-2 is a 25-position hinged backshell connector designed for D-Sub applications. This unshielded, black thermoplastic backshell accommodates both 90° and 180° cable exit angles and is compatible with Shell Size B and 25-position D-Sub configurations. The part is classified as Active product status with full ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected designation. Substitute parts are identified when inventory constraints, procurement timelines, or supply chain requirements necessitate alternative sourcing while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TE Connectivity 207345-2 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Accessory Type: Hinged Backshell
• Number of Positions: 25
• Compatible Shell Size: B
• Compatible D-Sub Size: 25pos and HD44pos
• Cable Exit Angle: 90°, 180°
• Shielding: Unshielded
• Primary Material: Thermoplastic
• Color: Black
• Series: AMPLIMITE
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• REACH Status: REACH Unaffected

The substitute part 207345-1 meets all mandatory matching parameters and is therefore classified as a direct equivalent. Both parts share identical functional specifications, material composition, and regulatory compliance certifications. The distinction between these part numbers reflects manufacturing or packaging variations that do not affect electrical or mechanical performance in D-Sub connector applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the TE Connectivity 207345-2 and 207345-1 are Active product status components with full ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected designation. Selection between these parts is based on availability and procurement requirements rather than technical differentiation.

The 207345-2 maintains current inventory of 1160 pieces. The 207345-1 substitute maintains inventory of 1389 pieces. Both parts are manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors and carry identical regulatory certifications suitable for applications requiring compliance with ROHS3 and REACH standards.

Component selection should prioritize inventory availability and supply chain lead times. No technical re-qualification is required when transitioning between these equivalent parts, as all electrical, mechanical, and material specifications are identical.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 207345-1 be used as a direct replacement for 207345-2?

A: Yes. The 207345-1 is a direct equivalent substitute. Both parts share identical specifications for position count, shell size compatibility, cable exit angles, material composition, and regulatory compliance. No design modifications or re-testing are required for substitution.

Q: What is the difference between 207345-2 and 207345-1?

A: Both parts are functionally and mechanically identical 25-position hinged backshells in the AMPLIMITE series. The part number suffix distinction does not reflect differences in electrical performance, mechanical fit, or material properties. Differences are limited to manufacturing or packaging variables that do not affect connector operation.

Q: Are both parts compatible with 25-position D-Sub connectors?

A: Yes. Both 207345-2 and 207345-1 are compatible with 25-position D-Sub connectors and HD44-position configurations using Shell Size B. Both support 90° and 180° cable exit angles.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. Both 207345-2 and 207345-1 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. Both carry Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited) designation. No regulatory re-certification is required when using either part.

Q: Can these backshells be used with shielded D-Sub connectors?

A: No. Both 207345-2 and 207345-1 are unshielded backshells. They are designed for unshielded D-Sub connector applications only.

Q: What cable types are compatible with these backshells?

A: Both parts are designed for round cable types with 90° or 180° exit angles. Cable diameter compatibility is determined by the specific D-Sub connector shell size (Shell Size B) to which the backshell is attached.
