Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity 207611-1 is based on strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Configuration: 6-position header with female socket contact type
• Pitch Specification: 0.197" (5.00mm) mating pitch
• Electrical Ratings: 7.5A current capacity and 600V voltage rating
• Mounting Architecture: Through-hole PCB mounting with solder termination
• Environmental Compliance: UL94 V-0 flammability rating and operating temperature range of -55°C to 130°C
• Physical Dimensions: Insulation height of 0.768" (19.50mm) and contact post length of 0.186" (4.72mm)
• Contact Material and Finish: Phosphor bronze with tin or tin-lead plating at 150.0µin (3.81µm) thickness

The substitute part 207611-6 maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters while offering active product status and improved compliance certifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity 207611-6 serves as the direct active equivalent to the obsolete 207611-1. Both connectors share identical electrical ratings, mechanical dimensions, and contact specifications, ensuring direct functional interchangeability in PCB applications.

The primary distinction between these parts is product lifecycle status and regulatory compliance. The 207611-1 is classified as obsolete with undefined REACH status, while the 207611-6 maintains active product status with ROHS3 compliance and confirmed REACH unaffected designation. For new designs and ongoing production requiring regulatory compliance documentation, the 207611-6 is the appropriate selection.

The contact finish difference—tin-lead on the 207611-1 versus tin on the 207611-6—does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. Both finishes provide equivalent corrosion resistance and solderability at the specified 150.0µin (3.81µm) thickness. The 207611-6 packaging in trays supports standard manufacturing and inventory management workflows.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 207611-1 and 207611-6 mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical pitch (0.197"), insulation height (0.768"), contact post length (0.186"), and mounting configuration. They are direct mechanical equivalents for PCB mounting applications.

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

A: Both finishes provide equivalent electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance at the specified 150.0µin (3.81µm) thickness. The tin finish on the 207611-6 reflects current manufacturing standards and regulatory compliance. Solderability and contact resistance are functionally equivalent.

Q: Can the 207611-6 be used as a direct replacement in existing assemblies designed for the 207611-1?

A: Yes. The 207611-6 maintains all critical electrical parameters (7.5A, 600V), operating temperature range (-55°C to 130°C), and physical dimensions. Direct substitution in existing PCB designs is supported.

Q: What is the significance of ROHS3 compliance on the 207611-6?

A: ROHS3 compliance indicates the 207611-6 meets current European Union Restriction of Hazardous Substances regulations. This certification is required for products sold into regulated markets and is not applicable to the obsolete 207611-1.

Q: Does packaging format affect connector performance?

A: No. The tray packaging of the 207611-6 is a logistics and handling specification that does not affect electrical or mechanical performance. Tray packaging supports automated assembly processes and standard inventory management.

Q: Are there any temperature or voltage derating considerations when substituting the 207611-6 for the 207611-1?

A: No. Both connectors operate identically across the -55°C to 130°C temperature range and maintain the 600V voltage rating. No derating or operational adjustments are required.

Q: What is the current availability status of these parts?

A: The 207611-1 is obsolete with 1074 pieces in stock. The 207611-6 is active with 647 pieces in stock. For new production, the 207611-6 should be specified to ensure long-term supply continuity.
