EHSVHS2B Circular Connector Adapter - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The EHSVHS2B is a circular connector adapter manufactured by Switchcraft Inc., designed for standard 4-position Female Sockets to Female Sockets conversion with panel mount configuration. This MiniDIN connector adapter features a shielded design with latch lock fastening and is classified as obsolete. Due to its obsolete product status, identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary for ongoing system maintenance, repairs, and new design implementations where this connector type is required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the EHSVHS2B is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Style: Standard
• Shell Size - Insert: MiniDIN
• Number of Positions: 4 (both conversion ends)
• Convert From / Convert To: Female Sockets / Female Sockets
• Mounting Type: Panel Mount
• Mounting Feature: Flange
• Fastening Type: Latch Lock
• Housing Material: Zinc Alloy
• Shielding: Shielded
• Orientation: Keyed

The substitute part EHSVHS2BX maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all these parameters, ensuring direct functional equivalence for applications requiring this adapter configuration.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The EHSVHS2BX is the direct substitute for the obsolete EHSVHS2B. Both parts share identical mechanical and electrical specifications, ensuring seamless functional replacement in existing applications.

The primary distinction between these parts is regulatory compliance status. The EHSVHS2BX carries ROHS3 compliance, whereas the EHSVHS2B is RoHS non-compliant. For new designs or systems subject to RoHS regulations, the EHSVHS2BX is the appropriate selection. For legacy system maintenance where RoHS compliance is not a requirement, either part functions identically from an electrical and mechanical standpoint.

Both parts maintain REACH Unaffected status and EAR99 export classification, with identical HTSUS coding (8536.69.4020).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can EHSVHS2BX directly replace EHSVHS2B in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. The EHSVHS2BX is mechanically and electrically identical to the EHSVHS2B. All connector parameters, including shell size, pin count, socket configuration, mounting method, and shielding characteristics, are equivalent. Direct substitution is supported without design modification.

Q: What is the difference between EHSVHS2B and EHSVHS2BX?

A: The primary differences are product status and regulatory compliance. EHSVHS2B is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. EHSVHS2BX is active production and ROHS3 compliant. Packaging differs (standard versus bulk), but connector specifications are identical.

Q: Why is EHSVHS2B classified as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the part is no longer in active production by the manufacturer. The EHSVHS2BX serves as the current production equivalent and is recommended for all new applications and ongoing procurement.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns when substituting EHSVHS2BX for EHSVHS2B?

A: No compatibility concerns exist. Both parts are keyed MiniDIN 4-position Female-to-Female adapters with identical latch lock fastening, flange mounting, and shielding. Mechanical fit and electrical performance are equivalent.

Q: Does RoHS compliance affect the connector's electrical performance?

A: No. RoHS compliance relates to material composition and hazardous substance restrictions, not electrical or mechanical performance. Both parts function identically in circuit applications.

Q: What is the inventory status for these parts?

A: EHSVHS2B has 653 pieces in stock (new original). EHSVHS2BX has 732 pieces in stock (new original, bulk packaging). Availability of the active substitute part (EHSVHS2BX) is recommended for procurement planning.
