Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 2-1971030-8 are identified based on strict equivalence of the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type: Plug
• Contact Type: Female Socket
• Number of Positions: 8
• Pitch: 0.079" (2.00mm)
• Number of Rows: 1
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Contact Termination: Crimp
• Fastening Type: Latch Holder
• Insulation Material: Polyamide (PA66), Nylon 6/6
• Series: Grace Inertia, GIC
• Base Product Number: 1971030

The substitute part 3-1971030-8 maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The only variation is the housing color (Yellow versus Blue), which does not affect functional compatibility or electrical performance. Both parts share the same base product number (1971030) and are manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors within the same product series.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 2-1971030-8 and 3-1971030-8 are Active product status components manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors and are ROHS3 compliant. Selection between these parts should be based on application-specific requirements:

2-1971030-8 (Blue Housing): Select this part when blue color coding is required for circuit identification, wiring harness organization, or system documentation standards.

3-1971030-8 (Yellow Housing): Select this part when yellow color coding is required for circuit identification, wiring harness organization, or system documentation standards.

Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including connector type, contact configuration, pitch, termination method, and insulation material. The MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited) indicates no moisture sensitivity restrictions for either part. Both parts are suitable for free-hanging in-line mounting applications with crimp contact termination and latch holder fastening.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 2-1971030-8 and 3-1971030-8 be used interchangeably in the same application?

A: Yes, these parts are functionally interchangeable. All electrical and mechanical specifications are identical. The only difference is housing color (Blue versus Yellow). Interchangeability is determined by whether color coding is a functional requirement in your application.

Q: What does the color difference indicate?

A: The color variation (Blue for 2-1971030-8 and Yellow for 3-1971030-8) is a housing identifier. Both parts belong to the same base product number (1971030) and Grace Inertia series. Color selection is typically driven by circuit identification, wiring harness organization, or internal documentation standards.

Q: Are the contact specifications identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both parts feature 8 female socket contacts with 2.00mm pitch, crimp termination, and latch holder fastening. Contact type, number of positions, and termination method are identical.

Q: Do both parts have the same compliance certifications?

A: Yes. Both 2-1971030-8 and 3-1971030-8 are ROHS3 compliant and carry MSL rating 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions.

Q: What is the significance of the base product number 1971030?

A: The base product number 1971030 identifies the core connector design within the Grace Inertia (GIC) series. Both substitute parts share this base number, confirming they are variants of the same fundamental product with identical functional specifications.

Q: Are contacts included with these connector housings?

A: No. Both parts are connector housings only. Contacts are not included and must be sourced separately.

Q: What mounting configuration do these connectors support?

A: Both parts are configured for free-hanging in-line mounting, suitable for applications requiring flexible cable-to-board or cable-to-cable connections without fixed panel mounting.
