Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 211511-1 circular connector is determined by strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part must maintain identical specifications in the following areas:

Electrical Parameters: Current rating (7.5A), voltage rating (250VAC), contact material (Brass), and contact finish (Tin) must be identical to ensure proper electrical performance and signal integrity.

Mechanical Parameters: The connector must feature the same 8-position DIN (270 Degree) shell size, through-hole right-angle mounting configuration, push-pull fastening mechanism, and keyed orientation to ensure physical compatibility with existing mating connectors and PCB layouts.

Material & Environmental Parameters: Shell material (Polyamide/Nylon), insert material (Polycarbonate), shielding (Shielded), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C) must remain constant to maintain environmental protection and thermal performance.

Termination & Fastening: Solder termination and push-pull fastening type are non-negotiable for circuit board assembly compatibility.

The substitute part 5211511-1 meets all these criteria while offering improved product status and compliance characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 5211511-1 is the direct substitute for the obsolete 211511-1 model. All electrical, mechanical, and material specifications are identical across both components, ensuring complete functional equivalence in audio applications requiring 8-position DIN circular connectors with solder termination.

The 5211511-1 offers significant advantages for new designs and component replacement:
