Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity 1-207532-0 is the direct substitute for the obsolete 207532-3. Both connectors are manufactured by TE Connectivity within the Metrimate series and maintain complete electrical and mechanical equivalence across all critical parameters.

Product Status Advantage: The 1-207532-0 carries active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain support. The 207532-3 is obsolete and subject to inventory depletion.

Compliance Advantage: The 1-207532-0 is ROHS3 compliant, meeting current regulatory requirements for new designs and manufacturing. The 207532-3 carries no RoHS designation.

Contact Finish Consideration: The 207532-3 features tin-lead post finish, while the 1-207532-0 features tin post finish. Both finishes are compatible with standard solder termination processes and maintain equivalent electrical performance. The tin finish of the substitute part aligns with current lead-free manufacturing standards.

Packaging: The 1-207532-0 is supplied in tray packaging, which is standard for production environments and supports automated assembly processes.

Both parts are rated for identical electrical performance (600V, 7.5A), mechanical specifications (24-position, 0.197" pitch, through-hole mount), and thermal operation (-55°C to 130°C). Direct substitution is supported without design modification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1-207532-0 be used as a direct replacement for the 207532-3 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 1-207532-0 maintains complete equivalence across all electrical and mechanical parameters. No design modification is required. The connector type, position count, pitch, mounting method, termination, contact finish, voltage rating, current rating, and operating temperature range are identical.

Q: What is the difference between the contact finishes on these two parts?

A: The 207532-3 uses tin-lead post finish, while the 1-207532-0 uses tin post finish. Both finishes are compatible with standard solder termination and provide equivalent electrical performance. The tin finish on the substitute part reflects current manufacturing standards and lead-free compliance.

Q: Why is the 207532-3 listed as obsolete?

A: The 207532-3 has been superseded by the 1-207532-0 within the TE Connectivity product line. The substitute part offers active product status, improved compliance certifications (ROHS3), and standard tray packaging for production environments.

Q: Are there any compatibility issues with PCB layout or footprint?

A: No. Both connectors share identical mechanical specifications: 24 positions, 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch, 4 rows with 0.197" row spacing, 0.565" insulation height, and through-hole mounting. PCB footprints are interchangeable.

Q: What is the inventory status of these parts?

A: The 207532-3 has 730 pieces in stock as new original inventory. The 1-207532-0 has 710 pieces in stock as new original inventory. The substitute part is actively stocked and supported.

Q: Does the substitute part meet current regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. The 1-207532-0 is ROHS3 compliant, meeting current environmental and regulatory standards for electronic components. The 207532-3 carries no RoHS designation.

Q: Are both parts suitable for the same operating temperature range?

A: Yes. Both the 207532-3 and 1-207532-0 operate across the identical temperature range of -55°C to 130°C with UL94 V-0 flammability rating.

Q: What is the difference in packaging between these parts?

A: The 207532-3 packaging is not specified in the product data. The 1-207532-0 is supplied in tray packaging, which is standard for production assembly and supports automated handling processes.
