JRC-PC2-222 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The JRC-PC2-222 is a pin contact for circular connectors manufactured by Hirose Electric Co Ltd. This component is designed for signal applications in the JR series connector family. The part is rated for 24-28 AWG wire gauges with a 1.0mm contact size and crimp termination using silver finish on copper alloy material. The JRC-PC2-222 is currently in active production status with RoHS compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1). Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are required for applications where the original part number is unavailable or when alternative packaging configurations are needed.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the JRC-PC2-222 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Contact type, size, and termination method (Pin, 1.0mm, Crimp)
• Wire gauge compatibility (24-28 AWG)
• Contact material and finish (Copper Alloy with Silver finish)
• Manufacturer series alignment (JR series)
• Regulatory compliance status (RoHS compliance required)
• Moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1)

The JRC-PC2-122 meets all substitution criteria as a functionally equivalent alternative. Packaging configuration differences (Tape & Reel versus Bulk) do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility and represent the primary distinction between these parts.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the JRC-PC2-222 and JRC-PC2-122 are active production components from Hirose Electric Co Ltd with full RoHS compliance. The JRC-PC2-122 carries ROHS3 compliance designation, indicating adherence to the most current RoHS directive requirements. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across contact configuration, wire gauge compatibility, and termination method.

Selection between these parts should be based on packaging requirements and supply chain availability. The JRC-PC2-222 is supplied in Tape & Reel format suitable for automated assembly processes, while the JRC-PC2-122 is supplied in Bulk packaging. The JRC-PC2-122 includes an insulation support feature not specified for the JRC-PC2-222, which may provide additional mechanical stability in certain connector configurations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are JRC-PC2-222 and JRC-PC2-122 electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical contact specifications including 1.0mm size, 24-28 AWG wire gauge range, crimp termination, copper alloy material with silver finish, and MSL 1 rating. Electrical performance is equivalent.

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

A: The primary difference is packaging format. JRC-PC2-222 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) configuration for automated pick-and-place assembly, while JRC-PC2-122 is supplied in Bulk packaging. The JRC-PC2-122 also includes an insulation support feature.

Q: Can I substitute JRC-PC2-122 for JRC-PC2-222 in my assembly process?

A: Substitution is mechanically and electrically valid. However, packaging format differences must be considered. If your assembly process requires Tape & Reel format, the Bulk packaging of JRC-PC2-122 would require manual handling or reeling. Conversely, if manual assembly or Bulk handling is acceptable, JRC-PC2-122 is a direct substitute.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. JRC-PC2-222 is RoHS Compliant, and JRC-PC2-122 is ROHS3 Compliant. Both meet RoHS directive requirements. ROHS3 represents compliance with the most current RoHS 3 directive.

Q: What does the insulation support feature on JRC-PC2-122 provide?

A: The insulation support feature provides mechanical reinforcement to the contact structure. This may improve durability and stability in applications requiring additional mechanical support, though both parts are functionally equivalent for standard circular connector applications.
