Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 5-2172075-2 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector Type: Receptacle, Male Pins
• Number of Positions: 8
• Series: M12
• Shell Size - Insert: M12-8
• Mounting Type: Panel Mount, Through Hole, Right Angle
• Termination: Solder
• Fastening Type: Threaded
• Orientation: A
• Contact Finish - Mating: Gold
• Ingress Protection: IP67
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C ~ 85°C

Allowable Parameter Variations:

• Current Rating: Substitute must meet or exceed 2A
• Voltage Rating: Substitute must meet or exceed 60V
• Product Status: Active status preferred for ongoing availability
• Compliance Certifications: RoHS and REACH compliance maintained

The substitute part T4144035081-000 satisfies all mandatory matching parameters and maintains compliance requirements, though with noted variations in shell material composition and voltage rating specification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The substitute part T4144035081-000 is functionally equivalent to the obsolete 5-2172075-2 for applications requiring M12-8 circular connectors with 8-position solder termination and IP67 ingress protection. Both parts maintain RoHS and REACH compliance, ensuring regulatory alignment for automotive and industrial deployments.

The primary engineering consideration is the voltage rating differential: the main part is rated at 60V while the substitute is rated at 30V. Applications operating at voltages exceeding 30V require evaluation against the substitute's reduced voltage specification. The substitute part includes shielding, which provides additional electromagnetic interference protection not specified in the original part.

The substitute part T4144035081-000 carries active product status with 974 units in stock, compared to the obsolete main part with 786 units. For new designs and ongoing production requirements, the substitute part provides supply chain continuity and compliance with current manufacturing standards.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can T4144035081-000 directly replace 5-2172075-2 in all applications?

A: T4144035081-000 is mechanically and electrically compatible for applications operating at 30V or below. Applications requiring the full 60V rating of the original part require voltage specification verification before substitution.

Q: What is the significance of the shielding feature in T4144035081-000?

A: The substitute part includes shielding, which was not specified in the original part. Shielding provides electromagnetic interference suppression and may be beneficial in industrial environments with high-frequency noise sources.

Q: Are both parts suitable for automotive applications?

A: The main part 5-2172075-2 lists automotive applications. The substitute part T4144035081-000 lists industrial applications. Application-specific requirements should be evaluated against the documented use cases for each part.

Q: What is the difference between the bulkhead mounting features?

A: The main part specifies bulkhead mounting, while the substitute specifies bulkhead with front side nut. Both are panel mount, through hole, right angle configurations. The front side nut feature in the substitute provides additional mechanical retention.

Q: Do both parts meet current regulatory compliance requirements?

A: Both parts are RoHS compliant and REACH affected. The substitute part carries ROHS3 compliance, representing the current regulatory standard. Both parts are suitable for applications requiring RoHS and REACH compliance.

Q: What is the packaging difference between these parts?

A: The main part packaging is not specified. The substitute part is supplied in tray packaging, which is standard for production quantities and automated assembly processes.

Q: Are the operating temperature ranges identical?

A: Both parts operate across -40°C to 85°C, providing identical thermal performance specifications for automotive and industrial environments.
