Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete 211509-1 with the active equivalent 9-211509-0 is based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. Both connectors maintain identical specifications across all critical functional parameters: 6-position configuration, DIN (240 Degree) shell size, through-hole right-angle mounting, solder termination, push-pull fastening, keyed orientation, 7.5A current rating, 250VAC voltage rating, -55°C to 105°C operating temperature range, shielded construction, and UL94 V-0 flammability rating.

The primary distinction between these parts is the shell material composition and product status. The 211509-1 features a metal shell with nickel plating and tin-lead finish, while the 9-211509-0 utilizes a polyamide (PA) nylon shell. Both maintain identical contact materials (brass with 100.0µin tin mating finish), insert materials (polycarbonate), and electrical performance characteristics. The 9-211509-0 is actively manufactured and RoHS3 compliant, whereas the 211509-1 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 9-211509-0 serves as the direct active equivalent for the obsolete 211509-1. Selection of the 9-211509-0 is supported by the following engineering considerations:

Product Status and Availability: The 211509-1 is classified as obsolete, limiting long-term procurement viability. The 9-211509-0 maintains active manufacturing status with confirmed inventory availability (1110 pieces in stock), ensuring reliable component sourcing for current and future production requirements.

Regulatory Compliance: The 9-211509-0 is ROHS3 compliant and carries an ECCN classification of EAR99, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component procurement. The 211509-1 is RoHS non-compliant and classified as obsolete under ECCN, presenting compliance constraints for new designs and applications subject to RoHS directives.

Electrical and Mechanical Equivalence: Both connectors maintain identical electrical performance specifications (7.5A current rating, 250VAC voltage rating, -55°C to 105°C operating temperature range) and mechanical configurations (6-position DIN 240 Degree shell, through-hole right-angle mounting, solder termination, push-pull fastening, keyed orientation). Contact materials, finishes, and insert materials are identical, ensuring functional interchangeability in audio applications.

Material Composition Difference: The 9-211509-0 utilizes polyamide (PA) nylon shell construction in place of the nickel-plated metal shell of the 211509-1. Both materials maintain UL94 V-0 flammability ratings and support identical electrical performance within the specified operating temperature range. The polyamide construction of the 9-211509-0 is consistent with modern connector design practices and supports RoHS3 compliance objectives.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 9-211509-0 directly replace the 211509-1 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 9-211509-0 is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the 211509-1 across all functional parameters.

The connectors are functionally interchangeable in audio applications.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two connectors?

A: The primary difference is shell material composition. The 211509-1 features a metal shell with nickel plating and tin-lead finish, while the 9-211509-0 uses polyamide (PA) nylon shell construction. Both materials maintain identical electrical performance and UL94 V-0 flammability ratings. The 9-211509-0 is actively manufactured and RoHS3 compliant, whereas the 211509-1 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant.

Q: Are the contact materials and finishes identical?

A: Yes. Both connectors use brass contact material with 100.0µin (2.54µm) tin mating finish. The insert material is polycarbonate (PC) in both cases. Contact performance and mating characteristics are identical.

Q: What is the packaging difference?

A: The 9-211509-0 is supplied in tube packaging. The 211509-1 packaging specification is not provided in the available documentation. Tube packaging is standard for active production components and supports efficient inventory management and component handling.

Q: Does the polyamide shell material affect electrical performance?

A: No. The polyamide (PA) nylon shell of the 9-211509-0 maintains identical electrical performance specifications to the metal shell of the 211509-1. Both materials support the 7.5A current rating, 250VAC voltage rating, and -55°C to 105°C operating temperature range. The polyamide construction is consistent with modern connector design standards.

Q: Is the 9-211509-0 suitable for audio applications?

A: Yes. The 9-211509-0 is specified for audio applications, identical to the 211509-1. The connector maintains all electrical and mechanical characteristics required for audio signal transmission and power distribution in audio equipment.
