• Mounting Method: Both are panel mount connectors
• Termination Style: Both utilize solder cup termination
• Current Rating: Both rated for 20A
• Operating Temperature: Both operate across -55°C ~ 155°C range
• Manufacturer: Both manufactured by NorComp Inc.
• Series Compatibility: Both belong to the 680 series family (680 and Power-D 680M)

The substitute part is available in tray packaging with higher inventory availability (852 units) and carries active product status with full RoHS3 and REACH compliance documentation.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 6803W3202201 and 680M3W3203L201 are functionally equivalent for applications requiring 3-position D-Sub power connectors with panel mount configuration and 20A current capacity.

The 680M3W3203L201 substitute part offers the following advantages:

• Compliance Documentation: Explicitly certified as ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, providing regulatory assurance for applications subject to environmental compliance requirements
• Product Status: Designated as Active, confirming ongoing manufacturer support and production continuity
• Inventory Availability: Higher stock level (852 units) supports shorter lead times and supply chain reliability
• Packaging: Supplied in tray format, which may align with automated assembly or high-volume production workflows

Selection between these parts should be based on packaging requirements, compliance documentation needs, and supply chain availability rather than electrical or mechanical performance differences.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are these connectors electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications: 3-position configuration, 20A current rating, -55°C ~ 155°C operating temperature range, and identical contact materials (copper alloy with gold finish). They are direct electrical equivalents.

Q: What are the mechanical compatibility requirements?

A: Both connectors use identical shell size and layout (2 (DA, A) - 3W3), panel mount configuration, and solder cup termination. They are mechanically compatible for direct substitution in panel mount applications.

Q: Does packaging affect connector performance?

A: No. The substitute part 680M3W3203L201 is supplied in tray packaging, while the main part packaging is not specified. Packaging affects handling and storage logistics only, not electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to each part?

A: The 680M3W3203L201 substitute carries explicit ROHS3 Compliance and REACH Unaffected certifications. The main part 6803W3202201 compliance status is not specified in available documentation. For applications requiring regulatory compliance documentation, the substitute part provides explicit certification.

Q: Can I use these connectors in high-temperature applications?

A: Both parts are rated for -55°C ~ 155°C operating temperature with UL94 V-0 flammability rating. They are suitable for industrial and aerospace applications within this temperature range.

Q: What is the difference between the 680 and Power-D 680M series designations?

A: Both parts belong to the NorComp 680 series family. The Power-D 680M designation for the substitute part indicates a power-rated variant within the same series. The electrical and mechanical specifications remain identical for these specific part numbers.
