Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 2164-72-01RP2 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Header)
• Contact type (Male Pin)
• Position count (72)
• Row configuration (2 rows)
• Mating pitch (2.00mm)
• Row spacing (2.00mm)
• Mounting method (Through Hole)
• Termination type (Solder)
• Current rating (1A)

The NorComp 26647201RP2 satisfies all substitution criteria. Both connectors share identical functional specifications for position count, pitch, row configuration, mounting type, and current rating. The 26647201RP2 represents an active product from the NorComp 2664 series, providing design continuity for applications currently using the obsolete 2164 series.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The NorComp 26647201RP2 is the designated substitute for the obsolete 2164-72-01RP2. Both connectors maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications for mating pitch, position count, row configuration, current rating, and termination method. The 26647201RP2 carries active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and manufacturing support.

Both parts meet ROHS3 compliance and REACH requirements. The 26647201RP2 operates within a narrower temperature range (-40°C to 105°C versus -55°C to 125°C), which should be evaluated against specific application requirements. Contact material and insulation material differ between the two parts; however, both maintain equivalent electrical performance and UL94 V-0 flammability ratings.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What makes the 26647201RP2 a valid substitute for the 2164-72-01RP2?

A: Both connectors share identical specifications for the critical substitution parameters: 72-position, 2-row configuration, 2.00mm mating pitch, through-hole mounting, solder termination, 1A current rating, and male pin contact type. The 26647201RP2 is an active product from NorComp's current portfolio.

Q: Are there physical compatibility concerns between these two connectors?

A: The connectors share the same pitch, position count, and row spacing. Minor differences exist in contact length and insulation height; however, these do not affect board-level compatibility for standard through-hole PCB applications.

Q: Does the operating temperature difference affect substitution suitability?

A: The 26647201RP2 operates from -40°C to 105°C, compared to the 2164-72-01RP2 range of -55°C to 125°C. Applications requiring operation below -40°C or above 105°C must evaluate this specification against design requirements.

Q: Are compliance certifications equivalent between the two parts?

A: Both connectors are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and carry UL94 V-0 flammability ratings. Both are classified under ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8536.69.4040.

Q: What is the packaging difference between these parts?

A: The 2164-72-01RP2 packaging is not specified in available data. The 26647201RP2 is supplied in bulk packaging.
