NorComp Inc. 2163-02-01-P2 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The NorComp Inc. 2163-02-01-P2 is a rectangular connector header, through-hole mounted, with 2 positions at 0.079" (2.00mm) pitch. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives necessary for ongoing design support and procurement planning. Substitute parts must maintain compatibility across connector type, pitch, mounting method, and electrical characteristics to ensure direct board-level interchangeability.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 2163-02-01-P2 are identified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional interchangeability:

Primary Matching Criteria:

• Pitch - Mating: 0.079" (2.00mm)
• Number of Positions: 2
• Number of Rows: 1
• Connector Type: Header
• Contact Type: Male Pin
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Termination: Solder
• Fastening Type: Push-Pull
• Contact Shape: Square
• Contact Finish - Mating: Gold
• Insulation Material: Thermoplastic or Polyamide-based
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0

Two substitute parts meet these criteria:

1. M22-2510205 (Harwin Inc., Series M22) – Exact position and pitch match with active product status and RoHS3 compliance
2. 26633601RP2 (NorComp Inc., Series 2663) – Same manufacturer family with compatible pitch and electrical characteristics, though higher position count (36 positions) allows for cuttable configuration

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

M22-2510205 (Harwin Inc.) is the primary substitute for direct replacement applications. This part maintains exact position count (2 positions) and pitch (2.00mm) compatibility with the obsolete 2163-02-01-P2. The M22-2510205 carries active product status, ROHS3 compliance, and specified operating temperature range (-40°C to 105°C), making it suitable for new designs and ongoing production support. The cuttable header feature provides additional design flexibility for applications requiring custom position configurations.

26633601RP2 (NorComp Inc.) serves as an alternative for applications where higher position density is acceptable. While this part features 36 positions rather than 2, it maintains the same 2.00mm pitch and can be cut to the required 2-position configuration. As a NorComp product, it preserves manufacturer continuity and carries ROHS3 compliance with active product status. This option is suitable when design modifications to accommodate the higher position count are feasible.

Both substitute parts meet the core electrical and mechanical requirements: 0.079" (2.00mm) pitch, through-hole solder termination, push-pull fastening, square contact geometry, gold mating finish, and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. Selection between these options depends on position count requirements and design flexibility constraints.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can M22-2510205 be used as a direct drop-in replacement for 2163-02-01-P2?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical pitch (2.00mm), position count (2), connector type (header), contact type (male pin), mounting method (through-hole), and termination (solder). Physical dimensions and electrical characteristics are compatible for board-level interchangeability.

Q: What is the primary advantage of selecting M22-2510205 over 26633601RP2?

A: M22-2510205 matches the exact 2-position configuration of the original part without requiring modification. The 26633601RP2 is a 36-position header that must be cut to achieve 2-position functionality, introducing additional assembly steps and potential waste.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the substitute parts?

A: Both M22-2510205 and 26633601RP2 are ROHS3 compliant with active product status. The original 2163-02-01-P2 is RoHS non-compliant and obsolete. For applications requiring RoHS compliance, either substitute part is acceptable.

Q: What is the significance of the "cuttable" feature on M22-2510205?

A: The cuttable header design allows the connector to be segmented into smaller position configurations during assembly. For a 2-position requirement, this feature is not necessary but provides design flexibility for applications requiring custom pin counts.

Q: Do the substitute parts have specified electrical ratings?

A: Yes. Both M22-2510205 and 26633601RP2 are rated for 1A per contact with operating temperature range -40°C to 105°C. The original 2163-02-01-P2 does not specify current or voltage ratings in available documentation.

Q: Can 26633601RP2 be used if only 2 positions are required?

A: Yes, with design consideration. The 36-position header can be cut to 2 positions during assembly. This approach is viable when design modifications are acceptable and cost factors favor the higher-position part.

Q: What packaging options are available for the substitute parts?

A: Both M22-2510205 and 26633601RP2 are supplied in bulk packaging. Inventory availability is 19,087 units for M22-2510205 and 2,096 units for 26633601RP2.
