Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The M22-2530205 qualifies as a direct substitute based on the following critical parameters:

• Pitch - Mating: Both parts maintain 2.00mm (0.079") pitch, ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility
• Number of Positions: Both parts provide 2-position configuration
• Number of Rows: Both parts feature single-row layout
• Manufacturer: Both parts are manufactured by Harwin Inc., ensuring design consistency
• Category: Both parts are rectangular connectors within the same product family
• RoHS Compliance: Both parts meet ROHS3 requirements
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: Both parts rated MSL 1 (Unlimited)
• REACH Status: Both parts are REACH Unaffected

The primary distinction is the mounting configuration: M22-2730205 is a straight header, while M22-2530205 is a right-angle header with through-hole mounting. This substitution is valid when board layout and space constraints permit right-angle orientation.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The M22-2530205 is the recommended substitute for the obsolete M22-2730205 based on the following criteria:

• Product Status: M22-2530205 maintains active production status, ensuring long-term supply chain availability and support
• Compliance Alignment: Both parts maintain identical RoHS3 compliance, MSL 1 rating, and REACH Unaffected status, satisfying regulatory requirements without modification
• Electrical Equivalence: Identical pitch (2.00mm), position count (2), contact material (Phosphor Bronze), current rating (1A per contact), and operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 105°C) ensure electrical performance parity
• Mechanical Compatibility: Both parts feature identical contact type (Male Pin), termination method (Solder), and insulation material (Polyamide PA6T), maintaining mechanical interface consistency

The primary design consideration is the mounting orientation change from straight to right-angle configuration. This substitution requires verification that board layout and connector orientation accommodate the right-angle mounting style.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can M22-2530205 directly replace M22-2730205 without PCB redesign?

A: Electrical and functional compatibility is confirmed. However, the M22-2530205 features right-angle mounting versus the straight configuration of M22-2730205. PCB layout modification may be required to accommodate the different mounting orientation and connector positioning.

Q: Are the electrical specifications identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical pitch (2.00mm), position count (2), contact material (Phosphor Bronze), current rating (1A per contact), and operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 105°C). Electrical performance is equivalent.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both M22-2730205 and M22-2530205 are ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected, and rated MSL 1 (Unlimited). Compliance requirements are satisfied by either part.

Q: What is the key difference between these two parts?

A: The primary difference is mounting configuration. M22-2730205 is a straight header, while M22-2530205 is a right-angle header with through-hole mounting. Both maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications for the connector interface itself.

Q: Is M22-2530205 available in the same packaging as M22-2730205?

A: M22-2530205 is supplied in Bulk packaging. Packaging specifications for M22-2730205 were not provided in the original documentation. Verify packaging requirements against your procurement specifications.

Q: What inventory status should be considered for production planning?

A: M22-2530205 maintains active production status with 4718 pieces in current stock. M22-2730205 is obsolete with limited remaining inventory (692 pieces). For new designs or long-term production, M22-2530205 is the recommended selection.
