HR30-8P-12PC Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The HR30-8P-12PC is a 12-position circular connector plug housing manufactured by Hirose Electric Co Ltd, designed for free-hanging (in-line) applications with push-pull fastening. This connector features a polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) shell with IP67/IP68 ingress protection and UL94 V-0 flammability rating, suitable for demanding industrial and aerospace environments requiring dust-tight and waterproof sealing.

The HR30-8P-12PC is classified as obsolete. Identifying equivalent substitute parts is necessary to ensure design continuity, maintain supply chain reliability, and support legacy system maintenance where this connector type remains in active use.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the HR30-8P-12PC is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Connector Type & Configuration: Plug housing for male pins, 12-position, shell size 8
Mechanical Interface: Free-hanging (in-line) mounting with push-pull fastening and keyed orientation
Environmental Protection: IP67/IP68 ingress protection rating
Material Specifications: Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) shell construction with UL94 V-0 flammability compliance
Electrical Performance: Crimp contact type with square contact shape
Thermal Compatibility: Operating temperature range -25°C ~ 85°C

The HR30-8P-12PC(71) variant meets all substitution criteria as a direct equivalent. The primary distinction is packaging format and product status, with HR30-8P-12PC(71) supplied in tray packaging and classified as active product status.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The HR30-8P-12PC(71) is a direct functional equivalent to the HR30-8P-12PC across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Selection between these parts should be based on the following factors:

Product Status Consideration: The HR30-8P-12PC is classified as obsolete, while HR30-8P-12PC(71) maintains active product status. For new designs or long-term supply chain planning, HR30-8P-12PC(71) is the preferred selection to ensure continued availability and manufacturer support.

Regulatory Compliance: HR30-8P-12PC(71) is ROHS3 compliant and REACH affected, whereas the original HR30-8P-12PC is RoHS non-compliant and REACH unaffected. Applications subject to European Union regulatory requirements or customer specifications mandating RoHS3 compliance must use HR30-8P-12PC(71).

Packaging Format: HR30-8P-12PC(71) is supplied in tray packaging, which may differ from the original bulk packaging of HR30-8P-12PC. Verify packaging compatibility with assembly and logistics processes.

Functional Interchangeability: Both parts are mechanically and electrically interchangeable within the HR30 series connector ecosystem. No design modifications are required for substitution.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are HR30-8P-12PC and HR30-8P-12PC(71) mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical connector type, pin count (12), shell size (8), mounting configuration (free-hanging in-line), and fastening mechanism (push-pull). Mating interfaces are fully compatible.

Q: What is the primary reason to substitute HR30-8P-12PC with HR30-8P-12PC(71)?

A: The original HR30-8P-12PC is obsolete. HR30-8P-12PC(71) is the active equivalent, ensuring supply chain continuity and manufacturer support for legacy system maintenance and new production runs.

Q: Does HR30-8P-12PC(71) meet RoHS3 requirements?

A: Yes. HR30-8P-12PC(71) is ROHS3 compliant, whereas the original HR30-8P-12PC is RoHS non-compliant. Applications requiring RoHS3 certification must use HR30-8P-12PC(71).

Q: Are there differences in environmental protection ratings between these parts?

A: No. Both parts maintain identical IP67/IP68 ingress protection ratings, ensuring equivalent dust-tight and waterproof performance across all operating conditions.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for both parts?

A: Both HR30-8P-12PC and HR30-8P-12PC(71) operate within the range of -25°C to 85°C, with identical thermal performance characteristics.

Q: Does packaging format affect electrical or mechanical performance?

A: No. HR30-8P-12PC(71) tray packaging differs from the original bulk packaging, but packaging format does not affect connector performance, functionality, or interchangeability. Verify packaging compatibility with assembly processes and logistics requirements.

Q: Are contacts included with these connector housings?

A: No. Both HR30-8P-12PC and HR30-8P-12PC(71) are supplied as housings without contacts. Contacts must be sourced separately and crimped into the connector assembly.

Q: What materials are used in the shell construction?

A: Both parts use polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) shell material with UL94 V-0 flammability rating, providing chemical resistance and thermal stability suitable for industrial applications.
