Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete TE Connectivity 208223-3 is determined by strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part 1-208223-0 maintains identical specifications for connector type, position count, shell size, mounting configuration, termination method, fastening mechanism, orientation, shell material composition, contact finish material, contact finish thickness, voltage rating, operating temperature range, and flammability rating. Both parts belong to the CPC Series 1 product family and share the same base product number 208223.

The key parameters governing substitution are:

• Connector Type: Receptacle, Male Pins
• Number of Positions: 9
• Shell Size - Insert: 13-9
• Mounting Type: Panel Mount, Through Hole
• Mounting Feature: Flange
• Termination: Solder
• Fastening Type: Threaded
• Orientation: A
• Shell Material: Thermoplastic
• Contact Finish - Mating: Gold
• Contact Finish Thickness - Mating: 30.0µin (0.76µm)
• Voltage Rating: 250VAC/DC
• Operating Temperature: -55°C ~ 105°C
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity 1-208223-0 is the direct active equivalent for the obsolete 208223-3. Both connectors maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters including connector type, position count, shell size, mounting configuration, termination method, and operating characteristics.

The primary distinction between the two parts is product status and regulatory compliance. The 208223-3 is classified as obsolete and carries RoHS non-compliant status with undefined REACH compliance. The 1-208223-0 is an active product with RoHS Compliant certification and REACH Affected status, making it suitable for current production applications subject to environmental and regulatory requirements.

For new designs and production applications, the 1-208223-0 is the appropriate selection. For legacy system maintenance where the original 208223-3 is specified, the 1-208223-0 provides full functional and mechanical compatibility while offering improved regulatory compliance posture.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 208223-3 and 1-208223-0 mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical shell size (13-9), mounting type (panel mount through-hole with flange), fastening mechanism (threaded), and orientation (A). They are direct mechanical replacements in panel-mounted applications.

Q: Do these connectors have the same electrical ratings?

A: Yes. Both connectors are rated for 250VAC/DC operation and maintain identical contact finish specifications (gold plating at 30.0µin thickness). Operating temperature range is identical at -55°C to 105°C.

Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers?

A: The primary differences are product status and regulatory compliance. The 208223-3 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. The 1-208223-0 is an active product with RoHS Compliant certification and REACH Affected status. All electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Can I use the 1-208223-0 as a direct replacement for the 208223-3 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 1-208223-0 provides full functional and mechanical compatibility with the 208223-3. No design modifications are required for substitution.

Q: What is the packaging difference between these parts?

A: The 208223-3 packaging specification is not defined in available documentation. The 1-208223-0 is supplied in Tray packaging.

Q: Are there any solder termination differences between these connectors?

A: No. Both connectors use identical solder termination methods and are compatible with standard PCB assembly processes.

Q: Which part should I specify for new production?

A: Specify the 1-208223-0 for all new production applications. It is an active product with current regulatory compliance certifications.
