TE Connectivity 207532-2 Rectangular Connector Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 207532-2 is a 24-position header connector from the Metrimate series, designed for through-hole PCB mounting with solder termination. This connector features a 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch configuration across 4 rows and is rated for 7.5A at 600V operation across an extended temperature range of -55°C to 130°C.

The 207532-2 carries an obsolete product status, making identification of suitable substitute components essential for ongoing design support, maintenance, and production continuity. The connector utilizes tin-lead contact finish on both mating and post surfaces with phosphor bronze contact material and polyamide nylon insulation rated UL94 V-0.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete TE Connectivity 207532-2 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mechanical Compatibility:

• 24-position configuration with 4-row layout
• 0.197" (5.00mm) mating pitch and row spacing
• Through-hole solder termination mounting
• Identical insulation height of 0.565" (14.35mm)
• Identical contact length post of 0.181" (4.60mm)

Electrical Performance:

• 7.5A current rating
• 600V voltage rating
• Operating temperature range of -55°C to 130°C
• Phosphor bronze contact material
• Contact finish thickness of 150.0µin (3.81µm) on both mating and post surfaces

Physical Characteristics:

• Female socket contact type
• Board to cable/wire connection style
• Latch holder fastening type
• Black and red insulation color options
• UL94 V-0 flammability rating

The primary distinction between the main part and its substitute relates to contact finish composition and product status. The 207532-2 utilizes tin-lead finish, while the substitute employs tin finish. Both finishes maintain identical thickness specifications and are compatible with the same PCB assembly processes.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity 207532-9 serves as the direct substitute for the obsolete 207532-2 within the Metrimate rectangular connector series. Both components maintain identical mechanical and electrical specifications across all critical parameters including position count, pitch, current and voltage ratings, operating temperature range, and contact material composition.

The 207532-9 is designated as an active product with current manufacturing support and availability, addressing the obsolescence status of the 207532-2. The substitute component carries RoHS compliance certification, whereas the original part is RoHS non-compliant. This compliance difference reflects modern manufacturing standards and regulatory requirements.

The contact finish composition differs between the two parts: the 207532-2 employs tin-lead finish while the 207532-9 uses tin finish. Both finishes maintain identical thickness specifications of 150.0µin (3.81µm) on mating and post surfaces. The tin finish of the substitute part aligns with contemporary lead-free soldering practices and environmental regulations.

The 207532-9 includes a mounting flange feature not specified for the 207532-2, providing enhanced mechanical stability during PCB assembly operations. This addition does not compromise interchangeability and offers improved installation reliability.

Selection of the 207532-9 is appropriate for new designs, production continuity of existing designs, and replacement applications where the 207532-2 is no longer available. The active product status ensures ongoing supply chain access and technical support from TE Connectivity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 207532-9 be used as a direct replacement for the 207532-2 in existing PCB designs?

A: Yes. The 207532-9 maintains identical mechanical and electrical specifications across all critical parameters including position count, pitch spacing, mounting type, current and voltage ratings, and operating temperature range. The connector footprint and mating interface are fully compatible.

Q: What is the significance of the contact finish difference between tin-lead and tin?

A: Both finishes maintain identical thickness specifications of 150.0µin (3.81µm). The tin finish of the 207532-9 reflects modern lead-free soldering standards and environmental compliance requirements. The tin finish is compatible with standard PCB assembly processes and provides equivalent electrical performance.

Q: Does the mounting flange feature on the 207532-9 affect compatibility?

A: No. The mounting flange is an additional feature that enhances mechanical stability during assembly. It does not interfere with the connector's mating interface or electrical performance and does not prevent installation in applications designed for the 207532-2.

Q: What is the difference in product status between the two parts?

A: The 207532-2 is designated obsolete, indicating discontinued manufacturing and limited availability. The 207532-9 is an active product with current manufacturing support, ensuring reliable supply chain access for ongoing production and maintenance applications.

Q: How does RoHS compliance affect the selection between these two parts?

A: The 207532-9 is RoHS compliant, meeting current environmental and regulatory standards for electronic components. The 207532-2 is RoHS non-compliant. For new designs and applications subject to RoHS requirements, the 207532-9 is the appropriate selection.

Q: Are the electrical performance characteristics identical between the two connectors?

A: Yes. Both connectors are rated for 7.5A current and 600V voltage operation across an identical temperature range of -55°C to 130°C. Contact material, insulation material, and flammability ratings are identical.

Q: What packaging format is available for the 207532-9?

A: The 207532-9 is supplied in tray packaging, suitable for automated PCB assembly operations and component handling systems.

Q: Are there any applications where the 207532-2 cannot be substituted with the 207532-9?

A: No. The 207532-9 is a complete functional equivalent across all mechanical, electrical, and environmental parameters. Substitution is appropriate for all applications previously served by the 207532-2.
