Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 2-215083-0 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility Parameters:

• Connector type (Plug)
• Number of positions (20)
• Contact type (Male Pin)
• Pitch spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Row configuration (2 rows at 0.059" / 1.50mm spacing)
• Cable termination method (IDC)
• Wire gauge compatibility (28 AWG)
• Contact finish (Tin)

Mechanical Compatibility Parameters:

• Mounting configuration (Free Hanging, In-Line)
• Series designation (Micro-MaTch)
• Base product number (215083)

Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS3 compliance status
• Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL 1 - Unlimited)
• ECCN classification (EAR99)

Parts meeting all these criteria are classified as direct substitutes and may be selected interchangeably for the 2-215083-0 in ribbon cable connector applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Part Selection: 2-215083-0

The 2-215083-0 is the designated base part number for this connector configuration. Selection of this part number is appropriate when standard procurement channels and existing supplier relationships support this specific part designation.

Substitute Part Selection: 9-215083-0

The 9-215083-0 is a direct functional equivalent with identical electrical, mechanical, and compliance characteristics. This substitute part is appropriate for selection when:

• Supply availability of the primary part number is constrained
• Lead time requirements necessitate alternative sourcing
• Inventory levels of the primary part number are insufficient for project timelines
• Supply chain diversification is a procurement objective

Both parts maintain Active product status and full RoHS3 compliance. Both parts carry Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating no special handling requirements during storage or assembly. Both parts are classified under ECCN EAR99, confirming equivalent export control status.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 9-215083-0 be used as a direct replacement for 2-215083-0 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 9-215083-0 is electrically and mechanically identical to the 2-215083-0 across all critical parameters including connector type, position count, pitch, row spacing, IDC termination method, wire gauge, and contact finish. Both parts are Micro-MaTch series connectors with identical mounting configurations and compliance certifications.

Q: Are there any differences in the connector interface or mating characteristics?

A: No. Both parts feature identical 20-position plug configurations with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch and 2-row layout at 0.059" (1.50mm) row spacing. The IDC termination interface and ribbon cable compatibility are identical.

Q: Do both parts require the same handling and storage procedures?

A: Yes. Both parts carry Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. Standard component storage conditions apply to both part numbers.

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

A: No. Both parts are RoHS3 compliant, carry identical ECCN classification (EAR99), and share the same HTSUS code (8536.69.4051). Both parts maintain Active product status.

Q: What is the difference between the part numbers 2-215083-0 and 9-215083-0?

A: The part numbers differ only in their prefix designation (2 versus 9). This variation reflects different manufacturing or distribution channels within TE Connectivity's product portfolio. The base product number 215083 is identical for both parts, confirming they are variants of the same connector design.

Q: Can these parts be mixed in the same assembly or production run?

A: Yes. Since both parts are electrically and mechanically identical with matching compliance certifications, they may be used interchangeably within the same assembly or production environment.

Q: What ribbon cable specifications are compatible with these connectors?

A: Both connectors are designed for 28 AWG ribbon cable with IDC termination. The 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch and 2-row configuration at 0.059" (1.50mm) spacing define the ribbon cable format compatibility.
