TE Connectivity 207530-1 Rectangular Connector Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 207530-1 is an 18-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, tin-lead contact finish, and operates across a temperature range of -55°C to 130°C. The part is currently active in production with 701 pieces in stock.

Identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary when the primary part becomes unavailable, when alternative compliance certifications are required, or when packaging specifications differ from project requirements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of rectangular connectors is determined by strict equivalence across electrical and mechanical parameters. The following criteria establish whether a part qualifies as a direct substitute for the TE Connectivity 207530-1:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Connector type (Header)
• Number of positions (18)
• Pitch specification (0.197" / 5.00mm)
• Number of rows (3)
• Row spacing (0.197" / 5.00mm)
• Mounting type (Through Hole)
• Contact type (Female Socket)
• Termination method (Solder)
• Current rating (7.5A)
• Voltage rating (600V)
• Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 130°C)
• Insulation material (Polyamide/Nylon)
• Flammability rating (UL94 V-0)

The substitute part 207530-7 maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary difference is the contact finish specification: the main part features tin-lead finish while the substitute features tin-only finish. Both parts share identical dimensional specifications, performance ratings, and material composition.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the TE Connectivity 207530-1 and 207530-7 are active production parts from the Metrimate series with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts is determined by regulatory compliance requirements and packaging needs.

207530-1 Selection Criteria:

• Applications requiring tin-lead contact finish specifications
• Projects where RoHS non-compliance is acceptable or required
• Existing designs with established tin-lead solder compatibility

207530-7 Selection Criteria:

• Applications requiring ROHS3 compliance
• New designs targeting modern regulatory standards
• Projects where tin-only contact finish meets performance requirements
• Applications benefiting from increased inventory availability (1280 pieces versus 701 pieces)

Both parts maintain identical performance across current rating (7.5A), voltage rating (600V), operating temperature range (-55°C to 130°C), and mechanical dimensions. The contact finish difference does not affect electrical performance or mechanical compatibility in standard applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 207530-1 and 207530-7 mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mechanical specifications including pitch (0.197" / 5.00mm), number of positions (18), number of rows (3), row spacing (0.197" / 5.00mm), insulation height (0.565" / 14.35mm), and contact length (0.181" / 4.60mm). They mount identically in through-hole applications.

Q: What is the difference between tin-lead and tin contact finishes?

A: The 207530-1 features tin-lead contact finish while the 207530-7 features tin-only finish. Both maintain 150.0µin (3.81µm) thickness on mating and post contacts. The contact finish difference reflects different manufacturing processes and regulatory compliance approaches.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: The 207530-7 is recommended for new designs due to ROHS3 compliance certification. The 207530-1 remains suitable for legacy designs or applications where tin-lead specifications are established.

Q: Do these connectors have different electrical performance?

A: No. Both parts maintain identical electrical specifications: 7.5A current rating, 600V voltage rating, and -55°C to 130°C operating temperature range. Electrical performance is equivalent.

Q: What is the packaging difference between these parts?

A: The 207530-1 packaging is not specified in available documentation. The 207530-7 is supplied in tray packaging. Packaging specifications should be confirmed with the supplier for specific procurement requirements.

Q: Are both parts currently available?

A: Yes. Both parts are active production items. The 207530-1 has 701 pieces in stock while the 207530-7 has 1280 pieces in stock, providing greater availability for the substitute part.

Q: Can these connectors be used in high-temperature applications?

A: Yes. Both connectors operate across the temperature range of -55°C to 130°C and carry a UL94 V-0 flammability rating, suitable for industrial and demanding thermal environments.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these connectors?

A: Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.
