Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the EN2C7M26DCW is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Configuration: 7-position circular connector plug with male pins
• Mounting Architecture: Free hanging (in-line) orientation
• Electrical Specifications: Current rating and voltage rating compatibility
• Contact Interface: Gold-plated mating surface for signal integrity
• Environmental Rating: IP66/IP67/IP68 ingress protection for sealed applications
• Regulatory Compliance: ROHS3 compliance and EAR99 classification

The substitute part 863024-2 (TE Connectivity Aerospace, Defense and Marine) qualifies as an equivalent based on matching connector type (7-position plug), mounting configuration (free hanging in-line), and regulatory status (ROHS3 compliant, EAR99 classification).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the EN2C7M26DCW and 863024-2 maintain active product status with ROHS3 compliance and identical ECCN/HTSUS classifications, supporting regulatory consistency in procurement decisions. The EN2C7M26DCW offers established availability with 662 units in stock, while the 863024-2 provides alternative sourcing with 1264 units available. Selection between these parts should be based on connector interface requirements, termination method compatibility, and application-specific electrical parameters not fully detailed in substitute documentation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What makes 863024-2 a valid substitute for EN2C7M26DCW?

A: Both connectors share the same 7-position circular plug configuration, free hanging in-line mounting type, and maintain equivalent regulatory compliance (ROHS3, EAR99). They are classified under the same HTSUS commodity code, indicating functional equivalence for procurement purposes.

Q: Are there differences in electrical ratings between these parts?

A: The EN2C7M26DCW specifies 1A at 125VAC/DC operation. The 863024-2 is rated for 27kVDC. Application requirements determine which electrical specification is appropriate for your circuit design.

Q: Can these connectors be used interchangeably in existing assemblies?

A: Both parts feature 7-position circular plug geometry with free hanging mounting. Physical compatibility depends on mating connector specifications and backshell design. Verify termination method compatibility (crimp vs. solder) with your assembly process.

Q: What is the difference between REACH Unaffected and REACH Affected status?

A: EN2C7M26DCW carries REACH Unaffected status, while 863024-2 is REACH Affected. For applications subject to REACH regulations, this distinction may influence material documentation and supply chain requirements.

Q: How do I determine which substitute is appropriate for my application?

A: Evaluate based on voltage rating requirements (125VAC/DC vs. 27kVDC), termination compatibility (crimp or solder cup), and regulatory documentation needs (REACH status). Both maintain identical ingress protection and RoHS compliance.
