TE Connectivity 213826-1 Circular Connector Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 213826-1 is a 9-position circular connector receptacle with female sockets designed for panel mount, through-hole applications. This connector features tin-lead contact finish, solder termination, and polyamide shell construction rated for 250VAC/DC operation across an operating temperature range of -55°C to 105°C.

The 213826-1 carries an obsolete product status. Identification of equivalent and substitute parts is necessary to maintain design continuity, ensure supply chain availability, and support ongoing production and field service requirements for systems utilizing this connector type.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete TE Connectivity 213826-1 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mechanical Compatibility Parameters:

• Connector type (Receptacle, Female Sockets)
• Number of positions (9)
• Shell size - insert designation (17-9)
• Mounting type (Panel Mount, Through Hole)
• Mounting feature (Flange)
• Fastening type (Threaded)
• Orientation (A)

Electrical Compatibility Parameters:

• Termination method (Solder)
• Voltage rating (250VAC/DC)
• Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 105°C)
• Contact material (Brass)
• Contact finish thickness - mating (100.0µin / 2.54µm)

Material & Certification Parameters:

• Shell material (Polyamide / Nylon)
• Material flammability rating (UL94 V-0)
• Moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1)

The substitute part 1-213826-1 maintains full equivalence across all mechanical, electrical, and material parameters. The primary distinction is the contact finish specification (tin versus tin-lead) and product status transition from obsolete to active.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity 1-213826-1 is the direct substitute for the obsolete 213826-1 circular connector. Both parts are manufactured by TE Connectivity within the CPC Series 1 product line and maintain identical mechanical, electrical, and thermal specifications.

Product Status Consideration: The 213826-1 is classified as obsolete, while the 1-213826-1 maintains active product status with significantly higher inventory availability (1906 units versus 832 units). Selection of the active substitute part ensures long-term supply chain viability and continued manufacturing support.

Regulatory Compliance: The substitute part 1-213826-1 is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, compared to the non-compliant status of the original part. This transition aligns with current regulatory requirements for electronic component procurement and environmental compliance standards.

Contact Finish Specification: The primary technical distinction between the two parts is the contact finish specification. The original 213826-1 features tin-lead plating, while the substitute 1-213826-1 specifies tin plating. Both maintain identical contact finish thickness (100.0µin / 2.54µm) and are constructed from brass contact material. This change reflects industry-wide transition toward lead-free manufacturing practices.

Mechanical and Electrical Equivalence: All mechanical parameters including shell size (17-9), mounting configuration (panel mount, through hole with flange), fastening type (threaded), and electrical ratings (250VAC/DC, -55°C to 105°C operating range) remain unchanged between the two parts, confirming direct substitution capability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1-213826-1 be used as a direct replacement for the 213826-1 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 1-213826-1 maintains full mechanical and electrical equivalence with the 213826-1. Both connectors share identical shell size (17-9), mounting configuration, termination method, voltage rating (250VAC/DC), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C). The parts are interchangeable from a functional and installation perspective.

Q: What is the difference between the tin-lead finish on the 213826-1 and the tin finish on the 1-213826-1?

A: Both finishes maintain the same contact finish thickness specification (100.0µin / 2.54µm) and are applied to brass contact material. The transition from tin-lead to tin reflects industry adoption of lead-free manufacturing standards. Both finishes provide equivalent electrical performance and contact reliability within the specified operating parameters.

Q: Why is the 213826-1 listed as obsolete?

A: The 213826-1 has been superseded by the 1-213826-1 within the TE Connectivity product portfolio. The substitute part offers improved regulatory compliance (ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected) and maintains active manufacturing status with higher inventory availability.

Q: Are there any packaging differences between the two parts?

A: The 213826-1 packaging specification is not provided in the technical documentation. The 1-213826-1 is supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging format should be confirmed with the supplier based on specific procurement requirements.

Q: What certifications apply to both connector parts?

A: Both the 213826-1 and 1-213826-1 carry a UL94 V-0 material flammability rating and MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity level classification. The 1-213826-1 additionally carries ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, reflecting current regulatory standards.

Q: Can the 1-213826-1 be used in applications originally designed for the 213826-1?

A: Yes. The 1-213826-1 is fully compatible with applications designed for the 213826-1. Mechanical mounting, electrical performance, and thermal operating range are identical between the two parts. No design modifications are required for substitution.

Q: What is the inventory status for the substitute part?

A: The 1-213826-1 is currently in stock with 1906 units available as new original inventory, compared to 832 units of the obsolete 213826-1. The substitute part offers superior supply chain availability for ongoing procurement needs.
