Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the TE Connectivity 207841-3 are identified based on strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitution logic is based on the following key parameters that must remain identical:

• Connector Type and Configuration: Receptacle with female sockets, 9-position, 2-row layout
• Shell Size and Connector Layout: Size 1 (DE, E) D-Sub format
• Electrical Specifications: 6A current rating, 125V voltage rating
• Termination Method: Solder through-hole mounting
• Contact Materials and Finish: Phosphor bronze with gold flash finish
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 105°C
• Mechanical Features: Housing/Shell flange with 4-40 mounting
• Dielectric and Flammability: Polyester dielectric, UL94 V-0 rating

The substitute part 5207841-3 maintains complete equivalence across all these parameters, differing only in RoHS compliance status. Both parts are manufactured by TE Connectivity within the AMPLIMITE HD-20 series and are classified as active products.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 207841-3 and 5207841-3 are active products manufactured by TE Connectivity and maintain complete functional equivalence across all electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary distinction between these parts is RoHS compliance status.

Selection Criteria Based on Compliance Requirements:

The 207841-3 is classified as RoHS non-compliant and is suitable for applications where RoHS compliance is not mandated or where legacy component specifications are required.

The 5207841-3 is ROHS3 compliant and is the appropriate selection for applications subject to RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU or equivalent regulatory frameworks. This part maintains identical electrical performance, mechanical compatibility, and operational characteristics while meeting current environmental compliance standards.

Both parts carry REACH Affected status and are classified under ECCN EAR99 for export control purposes. Selection between these parts should be determined by the specific regulatory and compliance requirements of the end application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 207841-3 and 5207841-3 mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mechanical specifications including shell size (1 DE, E), mounting type (through-hole), flange configuration (Housing/Shell 4-40), and physical dimensions. Direct substitution is supported from a mechanical standpoint.

Q: Are the electrical specifications identical between these two parts?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain identical electrical ratings of 6A current capacity and 125V voltage rating. Contact materials (phosphor bronze), contact finish (gold flash), and dielectric materials (polyester) are identical. Operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C) is identical for both parts.

Q: What is the primary difference between these substitute parts?

A: The primary difference is RoHS compliance status. The 207841-3 is RoHS non-compliant, while the 5207841-3 is ROHS3 compliant. All other specifications, including electrical performance, mechanical configuration, and material properties, are identical.

Q: Can I use the 5207841-3 as a replacement for the 207841-3 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 5207841-3 is a direct functional equivalent and can replace the 207841-3 in any application. The ROHS3 compliance of the 5207841-3 makes it suitable for applications with RoHS regulatory requirements while maintaining complete compatibility with the original design specifications.

Q: Are there any packaging differences between these parts?

A: Both parts are supplied in tube packaging. Inventory availability differs, with the 207841-3 having 1007 pieces in stock and the 5207841-3 having 1240 pieces in stock.

Q: What is the significance of the MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited)?

A: Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 indicates unlimited shelf life with no special moisture control requirements during storage or handling. Both parts share this MSL rating, simplifying inventory management and storage procedures.

Q: Are both parts suitable for solder termination applications?

A: Yes. Both the 207841-3 and 5207841-3 are designed for solder termination via through-hole mounting. The phosphor bronze contacts with gold flash finish provide reliable solder joint formation and electrical connectivity.
