B13B-ZR Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The B13B-ZR is a rectangular connector header manufactured by JST Sales America Inc., designed for through-hole mounting applications. This 13-position, 1.5mm pitch connector features shrouded 4-wall construction with male pin contacts and solder termination. The part is currently active in production with full inventory availability. Substitute parts are identified to provide alternative sourcing options when the primary part is unavailable or when design flexibility permits component interchange based on electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the B13B-ZR are identified based on the following critical parameters that must align for functional equivalence:

• Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Header with male pin contacts
• Position Count & Pitch: 13 positions at 0.059" (1.50mm) mating pitch
• Mounting Method: Through-hole solder termination
• Shrouding Design: Shrouded 4-wall construction
• Electrical Ratings: Minimum 50V voltage rating and current capacity suitable for the application
• Compliance Standards: UL94 V-0 flammability rating and ROHS3 compliance

The substitute part 1-292207-3 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors, Mini CT series) meets these core substitution criteria, enabling direct interchange in applications where the specified electrical and mechanical parameters are satisfied.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the B13B-ZR and 1-292207-3 are active production parts with ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability certification. The B13B-ZR offers a circular contact shape with a standard operating temperature range of -25°C to 85°C. The 1-292207-3 provides an extended operating temperature range of -30°C to 105°C with square contact geometry and kinked pin termination options, making it suitable for applications requiring broader thermal performance.

Selection between these parts should be based on specific application requirements regarding contact geometry, termination method, and thermal operating conditions. Both parts satisfy the core electrical and mechanical substitution criteria for 13-position, 1.5mm pitch through-hole header applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1-292207-3 directly replace the B13B-ZR in existing designs?

A: Direct mechanical and electrical interchange is possible when the application tolerates the differences in contact shape (square vs. circular), insulation height (6.91mm vs. 4.50mm), and overall contact length (7.80mm vs. 6.50mm). PCB layout and mating connector compatibility must be verified.

Q: What are the key differences between these two connectors?

A: The primary differences are contact geometry (circular vs. square), insulation height, overall contact length, and operating temperature range. Both maintain identical pitch, position count, voltage rating, and shrouding configuration.

Q: Are both parts suitable for the same voltage and current applications?

A: Yes. Both parts are rated for 50V and maintain equivalent current-carrying capacity through brass contacts with tin finish. The 1-292207-3 specifies current rating as varying by wire gauge, while the B13B-ZR is rated at 1A.

Q: What is the significance of the kinked pin termination on the 1-292207-3?

A: Kinked pin termination provides enhanced mechanical retention during PCB assembly and solder reflow, offering improved reliability in high-vibration or thermal cycling environments compared to standard solder termination.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both the B13B-ZR and 1-292207-3 are ROHS3 compliant, UL94 V-0 rated, and classified as EAR99 export control items with MSL 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity).

Q: Which part should be selected for extended temperature applications?

A: The 1-292207-3 supports an operating temperature range of -30°C to 105°C, compared to the B13B-ZR range of -25°C to 85°C, making it suitable for applications requiring broader thermal performance.
