EN2C7M26DC Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The EN2C7M26DC is a 7-position circular connector plug manufactured by Switchcraft Inc. under the EN2™ series. This male pin connector features crimp or solder cup termination, bayonet lock fastening, and gold-plated mating contacts. The connector is rated for 1A at 125VAC/DC and operates across -40°C to 85°C, with IP66/IP67/IP68 ingress protection suitable for demanding environments including communication systems, industrial, marine, and medical applications. As an active product with ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating, equivalent parts may be required for supply chain continuity, design flexibility, or specific application requirements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The EN2C7M26DC can be substituted with the TE Connectivity Aerospace, Defense and Marine part 863024-2 based on the following critical parameters:

• Connector Configuration: Both are 7-position circular connector plugs with male pins and free hanging (in-line) mounting
• Electrical Compatibility: Both support high voltage applications (EN2C7M26DC at 125VAC/DC; 863024-2 at 27kVDC), with the substitute rated for significantly higher voltage
• Compliance: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and EAR99 ECCN classification
• Tariff Classification: Identical HTSUS code (8536.69.4020) confirms equivalent product classification
• Active Status: Both are active products with current inventory availability

Substitution is valid where the application requirements align with the substitute's electrical and mechanical specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the EN2C7M26DC and 863024-2 are active products with current manufacturing status and ROHS3 compliance. The 863024-2 substitute is suitable for applications requiring higher voltage tolerance (27kVDC versus 125VAC/DC). Selection between these parts should be based on specific application voltage requirements and connector interface compatibility with mating components. Both parts carry EAR99 classification and are subject to identical tariff treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 863024-2 directly replace the EN2C7M26DC in all applications?

A: Direct replacement is valid only where the application voltage requirements do not exceed 125VAC/DC and the connector interface geometry is compatible with existing mating components. The 863024-2 is rated for 27kVDC, making it suitable for higher-voltage applications where the EN2C7M26DC would be insufficient.

Q: What are the key compatibility criteria for these 7-position circular connectors?

A: Both parts share identical position count (7), connector shape (circular), mounting configuration (free hanging in-line), and regulatory compliance (ROHS3). Compatibility depends on mating connector interface design and application voltage specifications.

Q: Are there packaging or inventory considerations between these parts?

A: Both parts are supplied in bulk packaging with active inventory status. The EN2C7M26DC has 1013 pieces in stock, while the 863024-2 has 1264 pieces available. Lead times and availability should be confirmed with the respective manufacturers.

Q: Do these connectors have different termination methods?

A: The EN2C7M26DC specifies crimp or solder cup termination. The 863024-2 termination method is not specified in the provided data. Termination compatibility must be confirmed before substitution.

Q: What is the significance of the different moisture sensitivity levels?

A: The EN2C7M26DC carries MSL 1 (unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. The 863024-2 is listed as not applicable for MSL, suggesting different handling requirements. Storage and handling procedures should be reviewed for the substitute part.
