Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the JRC-PC2-212 is determined by the following critical parameters that must remain constant across all equivalent parts:

Contact Type, Contact Size, Wire Gauge Range, Contact Termination, Contact Material, Contact Finish, and Type Classification must be identical. These parameters define the electrical and mechanical interface requirements for the connector system.

The JRC-PC2-112 qualifies as a direct substitute based on matching all critical parameters. The primary difference between the main part and substitute is packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Bulk) and the inclusion of Insulation Support feature in the substitute variant. Both parts maintain identical contact specifications, material composition, and termination method.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the JRC-PC2-212 and JRC-PC2-112 are active products from Hirose Electric Co Ltd with identical contact specifications and electrical characteristics. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging requirements and inventory availability.

The JRC-PC2-212 is supplied in Tape & Reel format, suitable for automated assembly processes. The JRC-PC2-112 is supplied in Bulk packaging and includes Insulation Support feature, with higher current inventory (1074 units versus 760 units).

Both parts meet RoHS compliance requirements. The JRC-PC2-112 carries ROHS3 certification while the JRC-PC2-212 carries standard RoHS Compliant status. Both parts are classified as REACH Unaffected or equivalent, with identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.90.4000) codes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can JRC-PC2-112 replace JRC-PC2-212 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical contact type, size, wire gauge range, termination method, material, and finish specifications. The primary difference is packaging format and the Insulation Support feature in the substitute part.

Q: What is the difference between Tape & Reel and Bulk packaging?

A: Tape & Reel packaging is optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly equipment. Bulk packaging is suitable for manual assembly or alternative handling methods. The contact specifications remain identical regardless of packaging format.

Q: Does the Insulation Support feature in JRC-PC2-112 affect compatibility?

A: The Insulation Support feature is an additional characteristic of the JRC-PC2-112 that does not compromise compatibility with applications designed for the JRC-PC2-212. This feature provides additional mechanical support without altering the electrical interface.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the two parts?

A: Both parts are RoHS compliant. The JRC-PC2-112 carries ROHS3 certification, representing a more recent compliance standard. Both parts maintain identical Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL 1 - Unlimited) and REACH status.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: Selection depends on assembly process requirements. For automated assembly, the JRC-PC2-212 (Tape & Reel) is appropriate. For manual assembly or applications where Insulation Support is beneficial, the JRC-PC2-112 (Bulk) is suitable. Both parts are active and fully supported by the manufacturer.
