PHR-9 Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The PHR-9 is a 9-position rectangular connector housing manufactured by JST Sales America Inc. in the PH series. This receptacle housing accepts female socket contacts with a 2.00mm pitch and is designed for free-hanging, in-line applications using crimp termination. The part is actively produced and widely used in industrial and consumer electronics applications where reliable interconnection is required.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are met, enabling component interchangeability in applications where the original part may be unavailable or where alternative sourcing is preferred.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the PHR-9 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Receptacle housing with female socket contacts
Position Count & Pitch: 9 positions at 2.00mm pitch
Mounting & Termination: Free-hanging, in-line mounting with crimp termination
Environmental Compliance: RoHS compliance and MSL rating of 1

The substitute part 440129-9 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors) meets all primary electrical and mechanical requirements for direct substitution. Both parts share identical position count, pitch, mounting type, and contact termination method. Differences in operating temperature range and insulation material composition do not preclude substitution when the application environment falls within the overlapping temperature range of -25°C to 85°C.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the PHR-9 and 440129-9 are active production parts with full RoHS compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity ratings. Selection between these parts should be based on:

PHR-9 (JST Sales America Inc.): Select when JST PH series ecosystem compatibility is required or when the specified operating temperature range of -25°C to 85°C is the design constraint.

440129-9 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors): Select when TE Connectivity HPI series integration is preferred or when the extended operating temperature range to 105°C provides additional thermal margin for the application. Higher inventory availability (135,205 pcs vs. 1,151 pcs) may support supply chain continuity.

Both parts accept identical crimp contacts and maintain mechanical and electrical equivalence across all critical parameters within the overlapping operating temperature range.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 440129-9 be used as a direct replacement for PHR-9?

A: Yes, within the overlapping operating temperature range of -25°C to 85°C. Both parts share identical position count, pitch, mounting type, and crimp termination. The 440129-9 offers an extended upper temperature limit to 105°C, which does not affect compatibility in applications operating within the PHR-9 specification.

Q: Are the contacts interchangeable between PHR-9 and 440129-9?

A: Both housings accept crimp contacts designed for 2.00mm pitch rectangular connectors. Contact compatibility depends on the specific contact part number and series designation. Verify contact specifications independently.

Q: What is the significance of the different insulation materials?

A: PHR-9 uses Polyamide (PA66) Nylon 6/6, while 440129-9 uses Thermoplastic. Both materials meet the specified operating temperature range and environmental compliance requirements. Material selection does not affect electrical or mechanical substitution eligibility within the defined application parameters.

Q: Does the higher inventory of 440129-9 affect its suitability?

A: Inventory levels reflect market availability and do not impact technical equivalence. Higher inventory may provide supply chain advantages but should not be the sole basis for component selection.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. PHR-9 is ROHS3 Compliant, and 440129-9 is RoHS Compliant. Both meet regulatory requirements for restricted substance elimination.
