KPT07E8-2P Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The KPT07E8-2P is a 2-position circular connector receptacle manufactured by ITT Cannon, LLC, designed for military and industrial applications requiring robust environmental resistance. This connector features male pins with solder cup termination, bayonet lock fastening, and operates across a wide temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. The part is currently active in production with 817 units in stock. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters align with the original specification, enabling component interchangeability in applications where the primary part becomes unavailable or when inventory constraints require alternative sourcing.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the KPT07E8-2P is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Connector Configuration: 2-position circular connector with male pins
• Shell Size: 8-2 insert designation
• Mounting Interface: Panel mount with bulkhead front side nut and bayonet lock fastening
• Electrical Performance: Current rating of 7.5A and voltage rating minimum of 600VAC/850VDC
• Environmental Capability: Environment resistant ingress protection
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 125°C
• Termination Method: Solder-based connection (solder cup or equivalent solder termination)

The substitute part MSW07E8-2P, manufactured by Milspecwest, LLC, meets these critical parameters and qualifies as an equivalent component. Both parts share identical shell size, position count, mounting configuration, fastening mechanism, electrical ratings, temperature range, and solder termination compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the KPT07E8-2P and MSW07E8-2P are active production components with equivalent electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on:

Availability and Lead Time: The KPT07E8-2P maintains 817 units in current inventory, while the MSW07E8-2P has 659 units available. Either part can be selected based on procurement timeline requirements.

Compliance Alignment: Both parts carry identical RoHS non-compliant status and EAR99 ECCN classification, ensuring regulatory consistency in applications where these designations are relevant.

Manufacturing Source: The KPT07E8-2P is sourced from ITT Cannon, LLC, a primary manufacturer of military-grade connectors. The MSW07E8-2P is sourced from Milspecwest, LLC, a secondary supplier specializing in 26482 style connectors. Both manufacturers produce components meeting the same electrical and mechanical standards.

Contact Finish Specification: The KPT07E8-2P specifies gold mating contact finish at 50.0µin thickness. The MSW07E8-2P specifies cadmium contact finish. This difference does not affect electrical compatibility but may influence corrosion resistance characteristics in specific environmental applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MSW07E8-2P directly replace the KPT07E8-2P in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical shell size (8-2), position count (2), mounting configuration (panel mount bulkhead), fastening mechanism (bayonet lock), electrical ratings (7.5A, 600VAC/850VDC minimum), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C). The solder termination methods are compatible.

Q: What is the difference between "Receptacle, Male Pins" and "Plug, Male Pins"?

A: In circular connector terminology, the receptacle is the fixed connector mounted to the panel or equipment, while the plug is the mating connector on the cable or removable assembly. Both the KPT07E8-2P receptacle and MSW07E8-2P plug contain male pins and are designed to mate with complementary female pin connectors. The designation difference reflects the connector's role in the assembly, not its electrical function.

Q: Are there differences in contact finish between these parts?

A: The KPT07E8-2P features gold-plated mating contacts (50.0µin/1.27µm thickness), while the MSW07E8-2P features cadmium-plated contacts. Both finishes provide electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance. Gold plating typically offers superior long-term reliability in high-reliability applications, while cadmium plating is standard for military applications and provides adequate performance in most environments.

Q: Do both parts meet the same military specifications?

A: Both parts are classified as 26482 Style Series I connectors and are designed for military and industrial applications. Both carry EAR99 ECCN classification and are RoHS non-compliant, indicating they meet military-grade standards. The MSW07E8-2P is explicitly listed for military applications.

Q: What inventory considerations should guide part selection?

A: The KPT07E8-2P has 817 units in stock, while the MSW07E8-2P has 659 units available. For immediate procurement needs, the KPT07E8-2P offers higher inventory availability. For long-term supply chain planning, either part can be qualified as a substitute to reduce single-source dependency.
