Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 207825-1 are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter compatibility within the CPC Series 1 circular connector family. The following criteria determine substitution eligibility:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Connector type: Receptacle, Male Pins
• Number of positions: 4
• Shell size - insert: 11-4
• Series designation: CPC Series 1
• Mounting configuration: Panel Mount, Through Hole with Flange
• Termination method: Solder
• Fastening type: Threaded
• Orientation: A
• Shell material: Thermoplastic
• Voltage rating: 250VAC/DC
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 105°C
• Material flammability rating: UL94 V-0
• Moisture sensitivity level: 1 (Unlimited)

Variable Parameters (Non-Critical for Substitution):

• Contact finish (Gold vs. Tin)
• Packaging format (Bulk vs. Tray)
• Product status (Obsolete vs. Active)
• RoHS compliance status
• REACH compliance status

The 207825-9 and 1-207825-1 maintain full compatibility with the 207825-1 across all critical mechanical and electrical parameters. Differences in contact finish and packaging do not affect functional interchangeability in applications where the connector specifications are met.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

207825-9 (MFR Recommended Substitute)

The 207825-9 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete 207825-1. This part maintains identical mechanical and electrical specifications while offering active product status and ROHS3 compliance. The 207825-9 is packaged in tray format and includes REACH compliance documentation. Selection of 207825-9 is appropriate for new designs and production transitions requiring regulatory compliance with current environmental standards.

1-207825-1 (Alternative Substitute)

The 1-207825-1 provides an alternative substitute with active product status and RoHS compliance. This part differs from the 207825-1 only in contact finish specification (tin-plated mating contacts versus gold-plated). The 1-207825-1 maintains identical mechanical configuration, mounting characteristics, and electrical ratings. This substitute is suitable for applications where tin contact finish meets performance requirements and cost optimization is a consideration.

Selection Criteria:

• For regulatory compliance and new production: Select 207825-9
• For cost-optimized applications with tin contact compatibility: Select 1-207825-1
• For existing inventory management: Both substitutes provide full functional interchangeability with 207825-1

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 207825-9 directly replace the 207825-1 in existing applications?

A: Yes. The 207825-9 maintains identical mechanical and electrical specifications across all critical parameters including connector type, position count, shell size, mounting configuration, termination method, voltage rating, and operating temperature range. The difference in packaging format (tray versus bulk) does not affect functional performance.

Q: What is the primary difference between 207825-9 and 1-207825-1?

A: The primary difference is contact finish specification. The 207825-9 features gold-plated mating contacts, matching the original 207825-1. The 1-207825-1 features tin-plated mating contacts. Both parts are mechanically and electrically identical in all other respects.

Q: Does the tin contact finish of 1-207825-1 affect compatibility?

A: Contact finish does not affect mechanical interchangeability. Tin-plated contacts are suitable for standard solder termination applications. Selection between gold and tin finishes depends on application-specific requirements for contact resistance, corrosion resistance, and environmental exposure.

Q: Why is the 207825-1 listed as obsolete?

A: The 207825-1 carries obsolete status in the manufacturer's product lifecycle. The 207825-9 and 1-207825-1 are active alternatives that provide equivalent functionality with current product support and compliance certifications.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the three parts?

A: Yes. The 207825-1 is RoHS non-compliant. The 207825-9 is ROHS3 compliant with REACH compliance documentation. The 1-207825-1 is RoHS compliant. For applications requiring regulatory compliance with current environmental standards, 207825-9 or 1-207825-1 are appropriate selections.

Q: Does packaging format affect electrical or mechanical performance?

A: No. Packaging format (bulk versus tray) is a logistics and handling specification only. It does not affect connector performance, electrical characteristics, or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Can both substitutes be used interchangeably in the same application?

A: Yes, provided the application requirements are compatible with the contact finish specification. Both 207825-9 and 1-207825-1 are mechanically and electrically interchangeable with 207825-1 and with each other across all critical functional parameters.
