Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the HR10A-7P-6PC is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Series designation (HR10A)
• Number of positions (6)
• Shell size - insert (7)
• Connector type (Plug Housing for Male Pins)
• Contact size (1.0mm)
• Mounting type (Free Hanging In-Line)
• Fastening type (Push-Pull)
• Orientation (Keyed)
• Shell material and finish (Zinc Alloy, Nickel)
• Operating temperature range (-20°C ~ 85°C)
• Material flammability rating (UL94 V-0)
• Features (Backshell, Cable Clamp, Strain Relief)

The HR10A-7P-6PC(73) meets all substitution criteria as a direct equivalent within the HR10A series, with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary distinction is product status and regulatory compliance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The HR10A-7P-6PC(73) is the direct active equivalent for the obsolete HR10A-7P-6PC. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical across all functional parameters. The HR10A-7P-6PC(73) offers the following advantages for new designs and ongoing procurement:

• Active product status ensures continued availability and manufacturer support
• ROHS3 compliance meets current regulatory requirements for electronic components
• REACH affected status indicates compliance with chemical substance regulations
• Higher inventory availability (1539 units versus 745 units) supports supply chain continuity
• Bulk packaging option provides flexibility for production environments

For applications currently using the obsolete HR10A-7P-6PC, direct substitution with HR10A-7P-6PC(73) is supported without modification to connector interfaces, mating components, or system integration.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are HR10A-7P-6PC and HR10A-7P-6PC(73) mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical mechanical specifications including shell size, mounting type, fastening mechanism, and keyed orientation. No physical modifications are required for substitution.

Q: What is the difference between HR10A-7P-6PC and HR10A-7P-6PC(73)?

A: The primary differences are product status (obsolete versus active), regulatory compliance (RoHS and REACH status), and packaging format. Electrical and mechanical functionality are identical.

Q: Can HR10A-7P-6PC(73) be used in existing designs using HR10A-7P-6PC?

A: Yes. The HR10A-7P-6PC(73) is a direct functional equivalent with identical contact configuration, operating temperature range, and connector interface specifications.

Q: What does the "(73)" designation indicate?

A: The "(73)" suffix indicates a specific packaging or manufacturing variant within the HR10A-7P-6PC product line. Both versions maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Q: Is RoHS3 compliance required for my application?

A: RoHS3 compliance is mandatory for products sold in the European Union and many other regulated markets. The HR10A-7P-6PC(73) meets this requirement, while the original HR10A-7P-6PC does not.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for these connectors?

A: Both parts operate within the range of -20°C to 85°C, suitable for industrial and commercial applications.

Q: Are contacts included with these connector housings?

A: No. Both the HR10A-7P-6PC and HR10A-7P-6PC(73) are plug housings only. Crimp contacts must be sourced separately and are compatible with 1.0mm contact size specifications.
