TE Connectivity 207528-1 Rectangular Connector Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 207528-1 is a 12-position header connector from the Metrimate series, designed for board-to-cable/wire applications with through-hole solder termination. This connector features a 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch configuration with three rows and is rated for 7.5A at 600V. The part is currently active in production with 733 units in stock. Equivalent and substitute parts are identified to provide alternative sourcing options when the primary part number is unavailable or when specific packaging or compliance requirements necessitate component substitution.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of rectangular connectors within the TE Connectivity Metrimate series is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mechanical Compatibility:

• Connector type (Header)
• Number of positions (12)
• Pitch configuration (0.197" mating pitch with 3 rows at 0.197" row spacing)
• Mounting method (Through Hole)
• Contact geometry (Female Socket, Circular shape)

Electrical Compatibility:

• Current rating (7.5A minimum)
• Voltage rating (600V minimum)
• Operating temperature range (-55°C to 130°C)

Material and Finish Specifications:

• Contact material (Phosphor Bronze)
• Insulation material (Polyamide/Nylon)
• Flammability rating (UL94 V-0)
• Contact finish thickness (150.0µin on both mating and post surfaces)

The substitute part 207528-7 maintains full equivalence across all mechanical and electrical parameters. The primary difference is the contact finish specification: the main part uses Tin-Lead finish while the substitute uses Tin finish, and the substitute carries RoHS Compliant certification whereas the main part is not applicable for RoHS status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 207528-1 and 207528-7 are active production parts within the TE Connectivity Metrimate series and are fully interchangeable from a mechanical and electrical standpoint. Selection between these parts should be based on the following criteria:

207528-1 (Tin-Lead Finish): Select this part when legacy designs or specific application requirements mandate Tin-Lead contact finish. This part is not subject to RoHS compliance requirements.

207528-7 (Tin Finish): Select this part for applications requiring RoHS Compliant components. The Tin finish contact specification meets environmental compliance standards while maintaining identical mechanical and electrical performance. This part has higher inventory availability (1422 units versus 733 units).

Both parts share identical electrical ratings, operating temperature ranges, and mechanical dimensions. The contact finish difference does not affect connector performance within the specified electrical and thermal parameters. Selection should prioritize application compliance requirements and inventory availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 207528-1 and 207528-7 mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mechanical specifications including 12-position configuration, 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch, 3-row layout, through-hole mounting, and insulation dimensions. They are direct mechanical substitutes.

Q: What is the difference between Tin-Lead and Tin contact finishes?

A: The 207528-1 uses Tin-Lead finish while the 207528-7 uses Tin finish. Both finishes are applied at 150.0µin (3.81µm) thickness on mating and post surfaces. The Tin finish in the 207528-7 is RoHS Compliant, whereas the Tin-Lead finish in the 207528-1 is not subject to RoHS requirements.

Q: Can I use 207528-7 as a direct replacement for 207528-1?

A: Yes, the 207528-7 is a direct electrical and mechanical substitute for the 207528-1. Verify that your application does not have specific requirements for Tin-Lead finish before substitution.

Q: Are the electrical ratings identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both parts are rated for 7.5A at 600V and operate across the same temperature range of -55°C to 130°C. Electrical performance is equivalent.

Q: What is the packaging difference between these parts?

A: The 207528-1 packaging is not specified in the data. The 207528-7 is supplied in Tray packaging. Confirm packaging requirements for your procurement process.

Q: Do both parts meet the same flammability standards?

A: Yes. Both the 207528-1 and 207528-7 carry UL94 V-0 flammability rating and are constructed from Polyamide (PA) Nylon insulation material.

Q: Which part should I select for new designs?

A: For new designs, the 207528-7 is recommended due to RoHS Compliance certification and higher inventory availability. Both parts are active production items with identical performance specifications.
