TE Connectivity 207952-3 D-Sub Jackscrew Socket Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 207952-3 is a D-Sub female screw lock jackscrew socket accessory designed for the AMPLIMITE Series HDE, HDF, and HDP connectors. This component provides mechanical locking functionality through a 4-40 socket and screw configuration with hardware included.

The 207952-3 carries an obsolete product status, indicating it is no longer in active production or support. Locating equivalent substitute parts is necessary to maintain design continuity and ensure availability for new builds, repairs, and field replacements where AMPLIMITE connector assemblies are deployed.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 207952-3 is determined by strict alignment of the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

Critical Substitution Parameters:

Thread size specification (4-40 Socket, 4-40 Screw)
Physical length below head (0.250" / 6.35mm)
Accessory type classification (Jackscrew Socket)
Hardware inclusion status
Moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1)
D-Sub connector category

The substitute part 5207952-3 meets all critical mechanical and functional parameters required for direct substitution. Both parts share identical thread specifications, physical dimensions, and moisture sensitivity ratings. The primary difference lies in series designation and product status: the 5207952-3 is designated for AMPLIMITE Series HD (active production) versus the 207952-3 designation for AMPLIMITE Series HDE, HDF, HDP (obsolete).

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For New Designs and Active Production: The 5207952-3 is the appropriate selection. This part carries active product status and ROHS3 compliance, meeting current regulatory requirements for new component procurement and manufacturing. The part is available in bulk packaging and maintains full mechanical and functional equivalence to the 207952-3.

For Legacy System Maintenance: The 207952-3 remains functionally equivalent for field replacement applications where existing AMPLIMITE Series HDE, HDF, HDP assemblies are in service. However, availability is limited to existing inventory (874 pcs reported). The 5207952-3 provides identical mechanical performance and can be substituted in these applications.

Compliance Considerations: The 207952-3 is RoHS non-compliant and REACH-affected. The 5207952-3 achieves ROHS3 compliance while maintaining REACH-affected status. For applications subject to RoHS directives or customer compliance requirements, the 5207952-3 is the mandated selection.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5207952-3 be used as a direct replacement for the 207952-3 in existing AMPLIMITE HDE, HDF, HDP connector assemblies?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical thread specifications (4-40 Socket, 4-40 Screw), physical dimensions (0.250" below head), and hardware inclusion. The mechanical and functional performance is equivalent.

Q: What is the difference between the AMPLIMITE Series HD designation (5207952-3) and the AMPLIMITE Series HDE, HDF, HDP designation (207952-3)?

A: The 5207952-3 is designated for the current AMPLIMITE Series HD product line (active production). The 207952-3 was designated for earlier AMPLIMITE variants (HDE, HDF, HDP) and is now obsolete. Both parts are mechanically and functionally compatible with D-Sub female screw lock jackscrew socket applications within the specified thread and dimension parameters.

Q: Does the RoHS compliance difference between these parts affect substitution?

A: The 207952-3 is RoHS non-compliant; the 5207952-3 is ROHS3 compliant. For applications subject to RoHS directives or customer specifications requiring RoHS compliance, the 5207952-3 must be selected. For legacy systems without RoHS requirements, both parts are functionally equivalent.

Q: What packaging options are available?

A: The 207952-3 packaging specification is not provided in available documentation. The 5207952-3 is supplied in bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with procurement specifications before ordering.

Q: Are there any moisture sensitivity or environmental limitations?

A: Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. Both are suitable for standard industrial and commercial environments without special handling or storage requirements.

Q: What is the current inventory status for these parts?

A: The 207952-3 has 874 pcs reported in new original stock. The 5207952-3 has 5369 pcs reported in new original stock. Verify current availability with your component supplier before finalizing procurement decisions.
