Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 213300-3 is determined by the following critical parameters that must remain constant across equivalent components:

• Number of Positions: 34 positions
• Number of Rows: 4 rows
• Mounting Type: Panel Mount
• Connector Usage: Plug
• Features: Jackscrew
• Color: Black
• Series: M
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)
• Category: Backplane Connectors

The substitute part 213300-2 maintains all these critical parameters, establishing functional equivalence. Both components are manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors and share the same base product number (213300), confirming their interchangeability within the M series backplane connector family.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 213300-2 serves as the direct substitute for the obsolete 213300-3. Both components are manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters.

Product Status Consideration: The 213300-3 is classified as obsolete, while the 213300-2 maintains active product status. This distinction is significant for long-term component availability and supply chain planning.

Compliance Differences: The 213300-3 is RoHS non-compliant, whereas the 213300-2 carries a "Not applicable" RoHS designation. The 213300-3 is REACH Unaffected, while the 213300-2 shows Vendor Undefined REACH status. Both components share the same ECCN classification (EAR99).

Packaging: The 213300-2 is supplied in bulk packaging, whereas the 213300-3 packaging specification is not provided in the available data.

For new designs and ongoing procurement, the 213300-2 is the appropriate selection due to its active product status and availability. For legacy system maintenance requiring the exact original component, the 213300-3 remains available with 868 pieces in current inventory.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 213300-3 and 213300-2 electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both components maintain identical electrical specifications as 34-position backplane connectors with the same series designation (M), position count, row configuration, and jackscrew features.

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

A: The primary difference is product status. The 213300-3 is obsolete, while the 213300-2 is active. Both maintain identical mechanical and electrical parameters for panel mount plug applications.

Q: Can I use the 213300-2 as a replacement for the 213300-3 in existing systems?

A: Yes. The 213300-2 is functionally equivalent to the 213300-3 across all critical parameters: 34 positions, 4 rows, panel mount configuration, plug usage, jackscrew features, and black color.

Q: What does the packaging difference mean?

A: The 213300-2 is supplied in bulk packaging. The 213300-3 packaging specification is not provided in the available documentation. This affects order quantities and handling but does not impact component functionality.

Q: Are there any compliance considerations when substituting these parts?

A: The 213300-3 is RoHS non-compliant, while the 213300-2 carries a "Not applicable" RoHS designation. Both share the same ECCN classification (EAR99). Compliance requirements should be evaluated based on your specific application and regulatory environment.

Q: Do these connectors include contacts?

A: No. Both the 213300-3 and 213300-2 are supplied without contacts. Contacts must be sourced separately.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these connectors?

A: Both components have a Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) of 1, indicating unlimited shelf life without special moisture control requirements.
