TE Connectivity 216834-1 D-Sub Receptacle Housing Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 216834-1 is a D-Sub receptacle housing designed for female contacts in a 25-position configuration. This connector belongs to the AMPLIMITE HDP-20 series and features a steel tin-plated shell with a polyamide nylon glass-filled dielectric body. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of active equivalent components essential for ongoing procurement and system maintenance. Substitute parts must maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications to ensure direct interchangeability without design modification.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity 216834-1 is determined by strict equivalence across all electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part must satisfy the following criteria:

Critical Substitution Parameters:

  • Connector style: D-Sub
  • Connector type: Receptacle for Female Contacts
  • Position count: 25 positions
  • Row configuration: 2 rows
  • Shell size and layout: 3 (DB, B)
  • Contact type: Signal
  • Mounting configuration: Free Hanging (In-Line)
  • Flange type: Housing/Shell (Unthreaded)
  • Shell material and finish: Steel, Tin Plated
  • Dielectric composition: Polyamide (PA), Nylon, Glass Filled
  • Housing color: Black
  • Regulatory compliance: ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected

The substitute part 207463-1 meets all specified parameters and belongs to the same AMPLIMITE HDP-20 series. The primary distinction is product status: 216834-1 is obsolete while 207463-1 is active, making 207463-1 the appropriate selection for new procurement activities.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity 207463-1 is the direct substitute for the obsolete 216834-1 model. Both parts are manufactured by TE Connectivity within the AMPLIMITE HDP-20 series and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The 207463-1 is classified as an active product, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity.

Compliance Status: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, satisfying current regulatory requirements for electronic component procurement. The MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited) indicates no moisture sensitivity constraints during storage or handling.

Interchangeability: The 207463-1 provides complete functional equivalence to the 216834-1 without requiring design modifications, PCB layout changes, or connector interface adjustments. The identical shell size (3/DB/B), position count (25), row configuration (2), and material specifications ensure direct mechanical and electrical compatibility.

Procurement Consideration: For new designs or replacement applications, the 207463-1 should be specified. Existing inventory of 216834-1 units may be utilized in current production until depletion, after which transition to 207463-1 is required.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 207463-1 directly replace the 216834-1 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. The 207463-1 is a direct substitute with identical connector style, position count, shell size, material composition, and mounting configuration. No design or assembly modifications are required.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: The 216834-1 is classified as obsolete. The 207463-1 is the active equivalent part from TE Connectivity, ensuring long-term supply availability and manufacturing support.

Q: Are there differences in electrical performance between these parts?

A: No. Both parts are signal-type D-Sub receptacles with identical specifications for contact type, shell material, and dielectric properties. Electrical performance is equivalent.

Q: Does packaging differ between the two parts?

A: Yes. The 216834-1 packaging is not specified in available documentation, while the 207463-1 is supplied in bulk packaging. This distinction does not affect functional compatibility.

Q: Are both parts compliant with current regulatory standards?

A: Yes. Both the 216834-1 and 207463-1 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and safety regulations.

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

A: Both parts have an MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity constraints. Standard storage and handling procedures are sufficient.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in mating applications?

A: Yes. The identical shell size (3/DB/B), position configuration (25 positions, 2 rows), and mounting type (Free Hanging In-Line) ensure compatibility with the same mating connectors and cable assemblies.

Q: Is the 207463-1 available in higher quantities than the 216834-1?

A: Current inventory shows 1323 pieces of 207463-1 in stock compared to 780 pieces of 216834-1, providing greater availability for procurement planning.
