Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 2177590-1 is determined by strict alignment across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Series designation (HVP 800)
• Contact type (Socket)
• Contact termination method (Crimp)
• Contact finish material (Silver)
• Connector category (Rectangular Connectors)
• Compliance certifications (ROHS3 Compliant)

The substitute part 2208608-3 satisfies all mandatory matching criteria. While the substitute exhibits a different contact construction type (Stamped versus Power), both components maintain functional equivalence within the HVP 800 series architecture and deliver identical electrical and mechanical interface characteristics for socket contact applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 2208608-3 serves as the direct substitute for the obsolete 2177590-1 based on the following engineering criteria:

Product Status Alignment: The 2208608-3 maintains active product status with TE Connectivity AMP Connectors, ensuring ongoing availability, manufacturing support, and supply chain continuity. The 2177590-1 obsolete designation creates risk for future procurement and field service requirements.

Compliance Certification Equivalence: Both components carry ROHS3 compliance certification and identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications, confirming regulatory and trade compliance parity.

Series and Interface Compatibility: Both components belong to the HVP 800 series and maintain identical socket contact architecture, crimp termination methodology, and silver contact finish specifications. This ensures mechanical and electrical interchangeability within HVP 800 connector assemblies.

Inventory Availability: The 2208608-3 maintains substantially higher inventory levels (3000 pieces) compared to the 2177590-1 (1120 pieces), supporting immediate procurement requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 2208608-3 be used as a direct replacement for the 2177590-1 in existing HVP 800 connector assemblies?

A: Yes. Both components are socket contacts within the HVP 800 series with identical crimp termination and silver finish specifications. The components are mechanically and electrically interchangeable within HVP 800 connector applications.

Q: What is the significance of the different contact construction types (Power versus Stamped)?

A: The contact construction type designation reflects the manufacturing process but does not affect functional equivalence for socket contact applications within the HVP 800 series. Both construction methods deliver identical electrical performance and mechanical interface characteristics.

Q: Are there compliance or regulatory differences between the two parts?

A: No. Both components carry identical ROHS3 compliance certification, ECCN classification (EAR99), and HTSUS codes (8536.90.4000), confirming full regulatory and trade compliance equivalence.

Q: Why is the 2177590-1 listed as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates that TE Connectivity AMP Connectors has discontinued active manufacturing and support for this component. The 2208608-3 represents the active equivalent within the HVP 800 series product line.

Q: What packaging format is available for the 2208608-3?

A: The 2208608-3 is supplied in bulk packaging format, consistent with standard rectangular connector contact distribution methods.

Q: Are wire gauge specifications provided for these components?

A: Wire gauge specifications are not provided in the component documentation for either the 2177590-1 or 2208608-3. Consult the HVP 800 series connector assembly documentation for wire gauge compatibility information.
