Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the QR/P-12P-C(01) is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type: Housing for male pins
• Number of positions: 12
• Pitch specification: 0.177" (4.50mm)
• Number of rows: 2
• Connector style: Rack and panel
• Mounting type: Panel mount
• Color: Blue
• Guide pin feature presence

The QR/P-12P-C(21) qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical alignment across all these parameters. The primary distinction between the main part and substitute is product status and packaging configuration, not electrical or mechanical specifications.

Parameter Comparison

The QR/P-12P-C(21) carries active product status and meets ROHS3 compliance, providing improved regulatory alignment compared to the RoHS Compliant designation of the original part. Both components maintain equivalent MSL ratings and export classifications. The QR/P-12P-C(21) is available in bulk packaging with current inventory of 874 pieces.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What makes QR/P-12P-C(21) a suitable substitute for QR/P-12P-C(01)?

A: The QR/P-12P-C(21) maintains identical specifications across all critical connector parameters: 12 positions, 0.177" (4.50mm) pitch, 2-row configuration, rack and panel style, panel mount orientation, blue color, and guide pin feature. Electrical and mechanical compatibility is complete.

Q: Why is the original part listed as obsolete?

A: The QR/P-12P-C(01) is classified as obsolete, indicating it is no longer in active production. The QR/P-12P-C(21) represents the current active equivalent from the same manufacturer and series.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The QR/P-12P-C(01) packaging specification is not provided in the available data. The QR/P-12P-C(21) is supplied in bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements for your application.

Q: Do both parts meet current compliance standards?

A: The QR/P-12P-C(01) is RoHS Compliant. The QR/P-12P-C(21) meets the more recent ROHS3 Compliant standard and is REACH Unaffected. Both maintain identical MSL ratings and export classifications.

Q: Are contacts included with these housings?

A: No. Both the QR/P-12P-C(01) and QR/P-12P-C(21) are housings only. Contacts must be procured separately.
