HR25-9TP-20PC Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The HR25-9TP-20PC is a 20-position circular connector plug housing manufactured by Hirose Electric Co., Ltd. This free-hanging (in-line) connector features a threaded coupling nut, backshell, cable clamp, and strain relief. The part is classified as obsolete, which necessitates identification of active equivalent alternatives to maintain supply chain continuity for applications requiring this connector type.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The HR25-9TP-20PC has one direct equivalent substitute: HR25-9TP-20PC(72). Substitution eligibility is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Series Designation: Both parts belong to the HR25 series
• Number of Positions: Both maintain 20-position configuration
• Shell Size - Insert: Both use shell size 9
• Connector Type: Both are plug housings for male pins
• Mounting Type: Both are free-hanging (in-line) configurations
• Fastening Type: Both use threaded coupling mechanisms
• Shell Material and Finish: Both use zinc alloy with nickel finish
• Operating Temperature Range: Both operate within -25°C ~ 85°C
• Shielding: Both are shielded designs
• Material Flammability Rating: Both meet UL94 V-0 standard

The substitute part differs only in packaging format (bulk versus standard) and product status (active versus obsolete), with improved RoHS compliance in the substitute variant.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

HR25-9TP-20PC(72) is the direct substitute for the obsolete HR25-9TP-20PC. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters including connector type, position count, shell size, mounting configuration, and operating temperature range.

The primary distinction is product status: HR25-9TP-20PC(72) is an active product with RoHS compliance certification, whereas the original part is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. For new designs or ongoing production requiring this connector type, HR25-9TP-20PC(72) is the appropriate selection. Both parts carry identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications and share equivalent regulatory certifications (UL94 V-0, MSL 1).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are HR25-9TP-20PC and HR25-9TP-20PC(72) mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical shell size (9), position count (20), mounting type (free-hanging in-line), fastening mechanism (threaded), and material specifications (zinc alloy with nickel finish). They are direct mechanical equivalents.

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

A: The primary differences are packaging format (bulk for the substitute variant) and product status (active versus obsolete). HR25-9TP-20PC(72) also carries RoHS compliance certification, whereas the original part does not.

Q: Can I use HR25-9TP-20PC(72) in applications originally designed for HR25-9TP-20PC?

A: Yes. The substitute part maintains all electrical and mechanical parameters required for direct substitution. The improved RoHS compliance status makes it suitable for applications with regulatory requirements.

Q: Are there any temperature or environmental limitations when substituting?

A: No. Both parts operate within the identical temperature range (-25°C ~ 85°C) and share equivalent moisture sensitivity levels (MSL 1, Unlimited). Environmental performance characteristics are equivalent.

Q: Do these connectors include contacts?

A: No. Both the main part and substitute are plug housings only. Contacts must be sourced separately and are not included with either part number.
