Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 207872-1 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mechanical Compatibility:

• Thread size specification (M3.5 Socket, M3.5 Screw)
• Length below head (0.312" / 7.92mm)
• Accessory type (Jackscrew Socket)

Functional Compatibility:

• Compatibility with AMPLIMITE series connectors (HDF, HDP)
• Hardware inclusion requirement
• D-Sub female screw lock configuration

Regulatory & Compliance Factors:

• RoHS compliance status
• REACH compliance status
• Product status (Active vs. Obsolete)

The substitute part 5207872-1 maintains identical mechanical dimensions and thread specifications while providing active product status and improved regulatory compliance. The substitute is compatible with AMPLIMITE HDF and HDP series connectors, which represent the active connector variants within the AMPLIMITE product line.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Active Production and New Designs: The 5207872-1 is the appropriate selection for new applications and ongoing procurement. This part maintains identical mechanical specifications and thread dimensions while providing active product status and RoHS compliance. The REACH Affected designation indicates full regulatory documentation availability.

For Legacy System Maintenance: The 207872-1 remains functionally equivalent for systems already deployed with AMPLIMITE HDE, HDF, or HDP connectors. However, the obsolete status and RoHS non-compliance indicate limited future availability. Transition planning to 5207872-1 is recommended for systems supporting HDF or HDP connector variants.

Connector Compatibility Scope: The 207872-1 supports AMPLIMITE HDE, HDF, and HDP series connectors. The 5207872-1 substitute supports AMPLIMITE HDF and HDP series connectors. Systems utilizing HDE connectors exclusively require retention of the original 207872-1 part number or evaluation of alternative HDE-compatible accessories.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 5207872-1 directly replace 207872-1 in existing assemblies?

A: Direct replacement is possible for systems using AMPLIMITE HDF or HDP connectors. The mechanical dimensions, thread specifications, and hardware inclusion are identical. Systems using AMPLIMITE HDE connectors require verification of HDE compatibility with the substitute part before implementation.

Q: What is the significance of the RoHS compliance difference?

A: The 207872-1 is RoHS non-compliant, while 5207872-1 is RoHS compliant. For applications subject to RoHS regulations or customer requirements, 5207872-1 is the required selection. The functional performance and mechanical specifications remain equivalent.

Q: Why is the 207872-1 classified as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the part is no longer in active production. The 5207872-1 represents the active equivalent within the TE Connectivity product portfolio, providing continued availability and regulatory compliance.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 207872-1 packaging is not specified in available documentation. The 5207872-1 is supplied in bag packaging. Confirm packaging requirements for your procurement and assembly processes.

Q: What is the AMPLIMITE HD series designation on the 5207872-1?

A: The AMPLIMITE HD designation indicates the substitute part is part of the AMPLIMITE HD product line, which represents the active generation of AMPLIMITE connectors. The mechanical compatibility with HDF and HDP connectors remains unchanged.

Q: Can both parts be used interchangeably in the same design?

A: For designs utilizing AMPLIMITE HDF or HDP connectors, both parts are mechanically and functionally interchangeable. New designs should specify 5207872-1 due to active product status and regulatory compliance. Existing designs using 207872-1 may continue without modification if connector compatibility is confirmed.
