Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete 211580-2 is based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence within the TE Connectivity Metrimate series. The substitute part must maintain identical specifications across the following critical parameters:

• 62-position connector configuration
• 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch spacing
• 5-row layout
• Male pin header type
• Panel mount, through-hole mounting methodology
• Solder termination
• Gold contact finish at 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness
• 14A current rating capability
• 600V voltage rating
• -55°C to 130°C operating temperature range
• UL94 V-0 flammability classification
• Black housing color

The substitute part 211580-4 satisfies all these parameters while offering improved product status and compliance certifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 211580-4 serves as the direct equivalent substitute for the obsolete 211580-2. Both connectors are manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors within the Metrimate series and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The 211580-4 is classified as an active product, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability.

The 211580-4 provides enhanced compliance status with ROHS3 certification, whereas the 211580-2 carries a "Not applicable" RoHS designation. For applications requiring RoHS compliance, the 211580-4 is the appropriate selection. Both parts share the same base product number (211580), confirming their functional equivalence.

The 211580-4 is supplied in tray packaging, which differs from the unspecified packaging of the 211580-2. This packaging difference does not affect electrical or mechanical performance and relates solely to handling and storage methodology.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 211580-2 and 211580-4 electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors maintain identical electrical specifications including 14A current rating, 600V voltage rating, and -55°C to 130°C operating temperature range. The gold contact finish at 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness is identical across both parts.

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

A: The 211580-2 is classified as obsolete, while the 211580-4 is an active product. The 211580-4 also carries ROHS3 compliance certification. All electrical and mechanical parameters remain equivalent.

Q: Can the 211580-4 be used as a direct replacement in existing designs using the 211580-2?

A: Yes. The 211580-4 is a direct substitute with identical connector configuration, pitch spacing, mounting methodology, and electrical ratings. No design modifications are required.

Q: Does the tray packaging of the 211580-4 affect its performance compared to the 211580-2?

A: No. Packaging format does not influence electrical or mechanical performance. Tray packaging is a handling and storage specification only.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: The 211580-4 is ROHS3 compliant, while the 211580-2 carries a "Not applicable" RoHS status. Both parts maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating. For applications requiring RoHS compliance, the 211580-4 is the appropriate selection.

Q: What is the pitch spacing for these connectors?

A: Both connectors feature a 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch spacing across 5 rows, accommodating 62 total positions.

Q: Are these connectors suitable for high-temperature applications?

A: Yes. Both connectors are rated for operating temperatures from -55°C to 130°C, supporting applications across industrial and commercial temperature ranges.
