Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The HR212-10LP-8PC(71) qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical electrical and mechanical parameters. Substitution is valid when the following criteria are met:

  • Same series designation (HR212)
  • Identical number of positions (8)
  • Matching shell size - insert (10)
  • Same contact type and size (Crimp, 1.0mm)
  • Identical mounting configuration (Free Hanging In-Line, Right Angle)
  • Matching fastening type (Snap-In)
  • Same shell material and finish (Zinc Alloy, Nickel)
  • Identical shielding specification (Shielded)
  • Equivalent operating temperature range (-15°C ~ 60°C)
  • Same material flammability rating (UL94 V-0)

The primary distinction between the main part and substitute is product status and packaging configuration, with the substitute part being active and available in bulk packaging.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The HR212-10LP-8PC(71) is the direct equivalent substitute for the obsolete HR212-10LP-8PC. Selection of the substitute part is based on:

  • Identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all functional parameters
  • Active product status ensuring long-term availability and supply chain reliability
  • ROHS3 compliance of the substitute part, providing enhanced environmental and regulatory alignment compared to the non-compliant original
  • Higher inventory availability (1435 units versus 619 units), supporting production continuity
  • Bulk packaging configuration of the substitute part, suitable for high-volume manufacturing environments

Both parts maintain identical connector functionality, dimensional compatibility, and performance characteristics within the specified operating temperature range of -15°C to 60°C.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can HR212-10LP-8PC(71) be used as a direct replacement for HR212-10LP-8PC?

A: Yes. The HR212-10LP-8PC(71) is a direct equivalent substitute. All electrical and mechanical parameters are identical, including pin count, contact size, mounting configuration, shell material, and operating temperature range. The substitute part is functionally interchangeable.

Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers?

A: The primary differences are product status, packaging, and regulatory compliance. The HR212-10LP-8PC is obsolete with standard packaging and RoHS non-compliant status. The HR212-10LP-8PC(71) is active, supplied in bulk packaging, and ROHS3 compliant.

Q: Does the packaging difference affect connector performance?

A: No. Bulk packaging is a supply and logistics consideration only. It does not affect the electrical or mechanical performance of the connector itself.

Q: Is the substitute part ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. The HR212-10LP-8PC(71) is ROHS3 compliant, whereas the original HR212-10LP-8PC is RoHS non-compliant. This provides improved environmental and regulatory alignment for new designs and applications.

Q: Are contacts included with these connectors?

A: No. Both the main part and substitute part are plug housings supplied without contacts. Contacts must be sourced separately and crimped into the housing.

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

A: Both parts operate within the range of -15°C to 60°C. This specification applies to all electrical and mechanical functions.
