Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TE Connectivity 207524-4 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters: connector type (header), number of positions (6), mating pitch (0.197"/5.00mm), row configuration (2 rows with 0.197" spacing), mounting method (through hole), contact type (female socket), current rating (7.5A), voltage rating (600V), operating temperature range (-55°C to 130°C), and contact finish on mating surfaces (gold). The substitute part 1-207524-0 maintains identical specifications across all these parameters, ensuring direct functional and mechanical compatibility. Variations in post contact finish (tin-lead versus tin) and RoHS compliance status do not affect electrical or mechanical interchangeability within the specified operating parameters.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the TE Connectivity 207524-4 and 1-207524-0 are active production parts from the same manufacturer and series, providing equivalent electrical and mechanical performance for 6-position header connector applications. The primary distinction between these parts is regulatory compliance status: the 207524-4 is RoHS non-compliant, while the 1-207524-0 is ROHS3 compliant. Selection between these parts should be based on the specific regulatory requirements of the end application and target market. The 207524-4 is suitable for applications where RoHS compliance is not mandated. The 1-207524-0 is required for applications subject to ROHS3 regulations or where lead-free solder compatibility is specified. Both parts maintain identical electrical ratings, temperature performance, and mechanical dimensions, ensuring direct substitution capability within the specified operating parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Question	Answer
Can the 1-207524-0 directly replace the 207524-4 in existing designs?	Yes. Both parts are mechanically and electrically identical across all critical parameters including pitch, number of positions, current rating, voltage rating, and operating temperature range. The parts are directly interchangeable from a functional standpoint.
What is the difference between the tin-lead and tin post finishes?	The 207524-4 features tin-lead plated posts, while the 1-207524-0 features tin-plated posts. Both finishes provide equivalent solder joint reliability and electrical performance. The tin finish on the 1-207524-0 supports lead-free solder assembly processes required for ROHS3 compliance.
Which part should be selected for RoHS-compliant applications?	The 1-207524-0 is ROHS3 compliant and must be selected for applications subject to RoHS regulations or where lead-free manufacturing is required. The 207524-4 is RoHS non-compliant and is not suitable for these applications.
Are the mating and row spacing dimensions identical between these parts?	Yes. Both parts feature 0.197" (5.00mm) mating pitch and 0.197" (5.00mm) row spacing, ensuring identical PCB footprints and connector compatibility.
Do both parts support the same current and voltage ratings?	Yes. Both the 207524-4 and 1-207524-0 are rated for 7.5A at 600V and operate across the identical temperature range of -55°C to 130°C.
What is the moisture sensitivity level for these connectors?	Both parts have a Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) of 1, indicating unlimited shelf life without special moisture control requirements.
Are the insulation materials and dimensions the same?	Yes. Both parts use polyamide (PA) nylon insulation with identical color options (black and red), insulation height of 0.565" (14.35mm), and contact post length of 0.181" (4.60mm).
