HR25-9TP-16PC Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The HR25-9TP-16PC is a 16-position circular connector plug housing manufactured by Hirose Electric Co Ltd, designed for free hanging (in-line) applications with male pins. This connector features a shielded design with backshell, cable clamp, coupling nut, and strain relief integrated into the housing assembly.

The HR25-9TP-16PC is classified as obsolete. Identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary to maintain design continuity and ensure component availability for ongoing production, maintenance, and field replacement requirements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the HR25-9TP-16PC are identified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional and mechanical compatibility:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• Series: HR25 (ensures mechanical and electrical compatibility within the same connector family)
• Shell Size - Insert: 9 (maintains physical envelope and mating interface)
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line) (preserves installation method)
• Fastening Type: Threaded (ensures coupling mechanism compatibility)
• Orientation: Keyed (maintains polarization and alignment)
• Shell Material: Zinc Alloy with Nickel finish (preserves environmental protection and durability)
• Shielding: Shielded (maintains electromagnetic interference protection)
• Insert Material: Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS) (ensures thermal and chemical resistance)
• Operating Temperature: -25°C ~ 85°C (maintains thermal operating range)

Substitution Logic: Substitute parts may differ in the number of positions and contact gender (male pins vs. female sockets) while maintaining all other mechanical and electrical parameters. These variations allow for circuit reconfiguration without requiring changes to the connector housing interface or mounting structure.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

HR25-9TP-16PC(72) is the direct equivalent substitute for the obsolete HR25-9TP-16PC. Both connectors maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications with 16 positions for male pins. The primary distinction is product status: HR25-9TP-16PC(72) is active and RoHS compliant, whereas the original part is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. This substitute is recommended for new designs and ongoing production requirements.

HR25-9TP-12SC(72) is a compatible alternative within the HR25 series that reduces the connector to 12 positions and changes the contact type to female sockets. This substitute is applicable only when circuit designs can accommodate reduced pin count and female socket configuration. HR25-9TP-12SC(72) is active and RoHS compliant.

Both substitute parts maintain mechanical compatibility with the original mounting interface, fastening mechanism, and environmental protection specifications. Selection between these substitutes depends on circuit requirements and pin count availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can HR25-9TP-16PC(72) be used as a direct replacement for HR25-9TP-16PC?

A: Yes. HR25-9TP-16PC(72) is a direct equivalent substitute. Both connectors share identical specifications for number of positions (16), contact type (male pins), shell size (9), mounting type (free hanging in-line), and all mechanical parameters. The primary difference is product status and RoHS compliance.

Q: What is the difference between HR25-9TP-16PC(72) and HR25-9TP-12SC(72)?

A: HR25-9TP-16PC(72) provides 16 positions with male pins, while HR25-9TP-12SC(72) provides 12 positions with female sockets. Both maintain the same shell size (9), mounting type (free hanging in-line), and fastening mechanism (threaded). Selection depends on circuit pin count requirements and contact gender specifications.

Q: Are the substitute parts mechanically compatible with the original connector housing?

A: Yes. All substitute parts maintain the same shell size (9), mounting type (free hanging in-line), fastening type (threaded), and orientation (keyed). The mechanical interface with mating connectors and mounting structures remains unchanged.

Q: What is the significance of the packaging designation (72) in HR25-9TP-16PC(72)?

A: The (72) designation indicates bulk packaging. This is a packaging variation of the same connector and does not affect electrical or mechanical specifications.

Q: Why is the original HR25-9TP-16PC classified as obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence is determined by the manufacturer. HR25-9TP-16PC(72) is the active equivalent and is recommended for all new applications and replacements.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between the main part and substitutes?

A: Yes. The original HR25-9TP-16PC is RoHS non-compliant, while both substitute parts (HR25-9TP-16PC(72) and HR25-9TP-12SC(72)) are RoHS compliant. This is a significant consideration for applications subject to RoHS regulations.

Q: Can HR25-9TP-12SC(72) be used if the circuit requires 16 positions?

A: No. HR25-9TP-12SC(72) provides only 12 positions. It is suitable only for applications where the circuit design can be reconfigured to use 12 connections instead of 16.
