TE Connectivity 207532-1 Rectangular Connector Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 207532-1 is a 24-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 4 rows and tin-lead contact finish. The product maintains active status with 788 units in current inventory stock.

Substitute parts become necessary when specific compliance requirements, packaging preferences, or contact finish specifications differ from the original design. The primary alternative addresses RoHS compliance and contact finish material variations while maintaining identical mechanical and electrical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution between the TE Connectivity 207532-1 and 207532-8 is based on the following criteria:

Identical Parameters:

• Connector type, position count, and pitch configuration (24 positions at 0.197" spacing)
• Row configuration (4 rows with 0.197" row spacing)
• Mounting method (through-hole solder termination)
• Contact type and shape (female socket, circular)
• Contact material (phosphor bronze)
• Electrical ratings (7.5A current, 600V voltage)
• Operating temperature range (-55°C to 130°C)
• Insulation material and flammability rating (UL94 V-0)
• Contact finish thickness (150.0µin on both mating and post)
• Fastening type (latch holder)
• Insulation color options (black, red)
• Insulation height (0.565")
• Contact post length (0.181")

Differentiating Parameters:

• Contact finish composition: 207532-1 uses tin-lead; 207532-8 uses tin only
• RoHS compliance status: 207532-1 is non-compliant; 207532-8 is ROHS3 compliant
• Packaging: 207532-1 has unspecified packaging; 207532-8 is supplied in tray packaging

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

207532-1 Selection Criteria: The 207532-1 is appropriate for applications where tin-lead contact finish is explicitly required by design specification or legacy system compatibility. This part maintains active product status and is available in current inventory.

207532-8 Selection Criteria: The 207532-8 is the preferred selection for new designs and applications subject to RoHS3 compliance requirements. This substitute maintains identical mechanical and electrical specifications while providing lead-free tin contact finish. The 207532-8 offers higher inventory availability (1248 units versus 788 units) and is supplied in standardized tray packaging.

Both parts are manufactured by TE Connectivity within the Metrimate series and maintain identical performance characteristics across all electrical, thermal, and mechanical parameters. Selection between these parts depends solely on compliance requirements and contact finish material specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 207532-8 be used as a direct replacement for 207532-1?

A: Yes. The 207532-8 functions as a direct substitute for 207532-1 in all applications where lead-free contact finish is acceptable. All mechanical dimensions, electrical ratings, and performance characteristics are identical. The primary difference is the contact finish material (tin versus tin-lead) and RoHS compliance status.

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

A: The 207532-1 features tin-lead contact finish (150.0µin thickness), while the 207532-8 features tin-only contact finish (150.0µin thickness). Both finishes provide equivalent contact thickness and electrical performance. The tin-only finish of the 207532-8 complies with RoHS3 regulations, whereas the tin-lead finish of the 207532-1 does not.

Q: Are there any compatibility issues when substituting between these parts?

A: No compatibility issues exist. Both connectors share identical pitch (0.197"), row configuration (4 rows), position count (24), mounting method (through-hole), and termination type (solder). They are mechanically and electrically interchangeable.

Q: What is the significance of the packaging difference?

A: The 207532-1 has unspecified packaging, while the 207532-8 is supplied in tray packaging. Tray packaging is standard for automated assembly processes and provides better protection during storage and handling. This difference does not affect connector performance or compatibility.

Q: Which part should be selected for new product designs?

A: The 207532-8 is the appropriate selection for new designs due to ROHS3 compliance status. Unless legacy tin-lead specifications are explicitly required, the 207532-8 provides compliance with current regulatory standards while maintaining identical performance.

Q: Are both parts currently available?

A: Yes. The 207532-1 has 788 units in stock, and the 207532-8 has 1248 units in stock. Both parts maintain active product status with TE Connectivity.

Q: Do these connectors require any special handling or storage conditions?

A: Both connectors have Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no special moisture control requirements during storage or handling.
