Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The HR30-8R-12SC(31) qualifies as a direct substitute for the HR30-8R-12SC(71) based on matching electrical and mechanical parameters. Substitution is valid when the following criteria are met:

• Identical number of positions (12)
• Identical shell size - insert (8)
• Identical connector type (Receptacle Housing)
• Identical mounting configuration (Panel Mount, Bulkhead - Rear Side Nut)
• Identical fastening mechanism (Push-Pull)
• Identical orientation (Keyed)
• Identical shell material (Polyphenylene Sulfide)
• Identical ingress protection rating (IP67/IP68)
• Identical contact type and shape (Crimp, Square)
• Identical operating temperature range (-25°C ~ 85°C)
• Identical flammability rating (UL94 V-0)

The primary distinction between these parts is product status: HR30-8R-12SC(71) is obsolete, while HR30-8R-12SC(31) is active with higher inventory availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

HR30-8R-12SC(31) is the direct substitute for HR30-8R-12SC(71). Selection of the active part is supported by:
