6808W8202201 D-Sub Receptacle Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 6808W8202201 is an 8-position D-Sub combo receptacle connector manufactured by NorComp Inc. in the 680 series. This panel-mount female socket connector is designed for power distribution applications requiring reliable D-shaped connector interfaces. With 1118 pieces in current stock, this part remains actively available for new designs and replacement applications. Identifying equivalent substitute parts ensures design flexibility, supply chain continuity, and access to alternative sourcing options when the primary part becomes unavailable or when project requirements necessitate alternative connector housing designs.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 6808W8202201 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type: Receptacle for female contacts (housing only, contacts not included)
• Number of Positions: 8 power positions
• Shell Size and Layout: 4 (DC, C) - 8W8 configuration
• Connector Category: D-Sub combo connectors
• Contact Type: Power-rated contacts
• Dielectric Material: Thermoplastic housing
• Shell Material: Steel with tin plating

The substitute part L177TWC8W8S from Amphenol ICC meets all critical substitution criteria. Both parts are receptacle housings designed for 8-position power applications with identical shell sizing and layout specifications. The substitute maintains compatibility through matching connector geometry, contact arrangement, and material specifications required for direct functional equivalence.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 6808W8202201 and L177TWC8W8S are functionally equivalent receptacle housings for 8-position D-Sub power connectors with matching shell configurations. Selection between these parts should be based on:

Primary Part (6808W8202201): Preferred when NorComp Inc. sourcing is specified or when design documentation references the 680 series connector family. Current inventory of 1118 units supports immediate availability for production requirements.

Substitute Part (L177TWC8W8S): Suitable for applications where Amphenol ICC sourcing is acceptable or preferred. The substitute provides documented RoHS compliance and defined operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C), which may be required for regulated or temperature-critical applications. Inventory of 830 units is available for alternative sourcing scenarios.

Both parts are receptacle housings requiring separate contact procurement. Ensure that selected contacts are compatible with the 8W8 shell configuration and meet the power rating requirements of the application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can L177TWC8W8S directly replace 6808W8202201 in existing designs?

A: Yes, when used with compatible 8-position power contacts rated for the 8W8 shell configuration. Both parts are receptacle housings with identical shell sizing and contact arrangement. Verify that replacement contacts meet the original design specifications for current rating and material compatibility.

Q: What is the difference between these two receptacle housings?

A: Both are 8-position D-Sub combo receptacles with matching shell geometry and layout. The primary differences are manufacturer (NorComp vs. Amphenol ICC) and documented specifications. The Amphenol part includes published operating temperature range and RoHS compliance documentation.

Q: Are contacts included with these connectors?

A: No. Both the 6808W8202201 and L177TWC8W8S are housing-only components. Contacts must be procured separately and must be compatible with the 8W8 shell configuration and power rating requirements.

Q: Which part should I specify for new designs?

A: Either part is acceptable provided the selected manufacturer and series align with your supply chain strategy and compliance requirements. Verify contact availability and compatibility for your chosen housing before finalizing the design specification.

Q: What are the key parameters that make these parts interchangeable?

A: Interchangeability is determined by matching connector type (receptacle), number of positions (8 power), shell size and layout (4 DC, C - 8W8), contact type (power), and material specifications (steel, tin-plated, thermoplastic dielectric). All these parameters are identical between the two parts.
