Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the QR/P14-14S-C is determined by the following critical parameters that must remain consistent:

• Manufacturer: Hirose Electric Co Ltd
• Series: QR/P14
• Connector Type: Housing for Female Sockets
• Connector Style: Rack and Panel
• Number of Positions: 14
• Connector Usage: Receptacle
• RoHS Status: RoHS Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

The identified substitute part QR/P14-14S-C(20) maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters required for direct substitution. The primary distinction is the product status transition from obsolete to active, along with packaging format change from standard to bulk and a minor HTSUS code variation reflecting packaging classification differences.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The QR/P14-14S-C(20) is the direct functional equivalent for the obsolete QR/P14-14S-C. Both parts maintain identical electrical specifications, mechanical dimensions, and connector interface characteristics. The substitute part carries active product status, ensuring continued manufacturer support and availability for future procurement requirements.

Both parts satisfy RoHS compliance requirements and maintain MSL 1 classification, confirming suitability for standard storage and handling conditions without moisture sensitivity constraints. The transition from standard to bulk packaging reflects supply chain optimization and does not affect component performance or compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can QR/P14-14S-C(20) be used as a direct replacement for QR/P14-14S-C?
