Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 208224-1 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Functional Parameters:

• Connector type (Receptacle, Female Sockets)
• Number of positions (37)
• Shell size classification (23-37)
• Mounting configuration (Panel Mount, Through Hole with Flange)
• Termination method (Solder)
• Fastening mechanism (Threaded)

Electrical Parameters:

• Contact finish specification (Gold plating)
• Contact material (Brass)
• Contact finish thickness (30.0µin / 0.76µm)
• Voltage rating (250VAC/DC)
• Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 105°C)

Compliance Parameters:

• Material flammability rating (UL94 V-0)
• RoHS compliance status
• Moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1)

The substitute part 2-208224-1 maintains equivalence across all critical functional, electrical, and compliance parameters. The primary distinction is product status: the original 208224-1 is obsolete, while 2-208224-1 is active production status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 2-208224-1 is the direct substitute for the obsolete 208224-1. Selection of this substitute is based on the following engineering criteria:

Functional Equivalence: The 2-208224-1 maintains identical specifications across all connector parameters including position count, shell size, mounting configuration, and termination method. Both parts are manufactured by TE Connectivity within the CPC Series 1 product line.

Electrical Compatibility: Voltage rating, operating temperature range, contact material, and contact finish specifications are identical between the main part and substitute. The 30.0µin gold plating thickness on brass contacts ensures equivalent electrical performance and mating durability.

Compliance Status: The 2-208224-1 carries ROHS3 compliance, which supersedes the RoHS compliance of the original 208224-1. Both parts maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity classification. Export classification (EAR99) and tariff codes (HTSUS 8536.69.4020) are identical.

Production Availability: The 2-208224-1 is active production status with current inventory availability, whereas the 208224-1 is obsolete. This substitution ensures continued supply chain access for new production and field service applications.
