NorComp 2164-72-01-P2 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The NorComp 2164-72-01-P2 is a rectangular connector header designed for through-hole mounting with 72 positions arranged in 2 rows at 2.00mm pitch. This connector is classified as obsolete, making identification of suitable substitute components essential for ongoing system support and new design implementations. The part features unshrouded male pin contacts with gold-plated mating surfaces and tin-lead plated posts, suitable for board-to-board or cable applications with push-pull fastening.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the NorComp 2164-72-01-P2 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Header)
• Contact type (Male Pin)
• Position count (72 positions)
• Row configuration (2 rows)
• Mating pitch (0.079" / 2.00mm)
• Row spacing (0.079" / 2.00mm)
• Mounting method (Through Hole)
• Termination type (Solder)
• Fastening mechanism (Push-Pull)
• Contact geometry (Square)
• Shrouding status (Unshrouded)

The NorComp 26647201RP2 satisfies all critical substitution parameters. While this part belongs to the 2664 series rather than the 2164 series, it maintains functional and mechanical compatibility across all specified mating and mounting characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The NorComp 26647201RP2 is the direct substitute for the obsolete NorComp 2164-72-01-P2. This part maintains active product status and achieves ROHS3 compliance, addressing regulatory requirements that the original part does not satisfy. Both connectors carry UL94 V-0 flammability certification and are manufactured by the same supplier.

Dimensional variations between the parts are minimal: mating contact length differs by 0.002" (0.05mm) and overall contact length by 0.002" (0.06mm). These tolerances fall within standard connector manufacturing specifications and do not affect mechanical or electrical compatibility in standard applications.

The substitute part features gold plating on both mating and post contacts, compared to the original part's tin-lead post finish. The insulation material composition differs (Polyamide PA6T versus thermoplastic glass-filled), though both materials maintain equivalent flammability ratings and mechanical properties for this connector class.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the NorComp 26647201RP2 directly replace the 2164-72-01-P2 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical connector type, contact configuration, pitch, row spacing, mounting method, and fastening mechanism. The 0.002" dimensional variations in contact length are within standard manufacturing tolerances and do not affect mating or mounting compatibility.

Q: What is the significance of the series number change from 2164 to 2664?

A: Series designation indicates product line classification within NorComp's portfolio. The functional and mechanical specifications that determine connector compatibility remain identical between the two series for this application.

Q: How do the contact finish differences affect performance?

A: The original part uses tin-lead post plating with gold mating surface plating. The substitute uses gold plating on both surfaces. Gold plating provides equivalent or superior corrosion resistance and contact reliability. This change does not degrade electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: Does the insulation material change impact thermal or mechanical performance?

A: Both insulation materials (thermoplastic glass-filled and Polyamide PA6T) achieve UL94 V-0 flammability certification. The substitute material (Polyamide PA6T) is a standard engineering thermoplastic for connector applications and maintains equivalent mechanical and thermal properties for this connector class.

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

A: The NorComp 26647201RP2 is available with 923 pieces in stock as new original inventory, compared to 797 pieces available for the obsolete original part.

Q: Is the substitute part RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The NorComp 26647201RP2 is ROHS3 compliant, whereas the original 2164-72-01-P2 is RoHS non-compliant. This compliance upgrade is significant for applications subject to RoHS regulatory requirements.
