Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the QR/P4-8S-C(01) is determined by the following critical parameters that must remain constant:

• Connector Type: Housing for Female Sockets
• Number of Positions: 8
• Pitch: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Number of Rows: 2
• Connector Style: Rack and Panel
• Mounting Type: Panel Mount
• Color: Black
• Features: Mating Guide
• RoHS Status: RoHS Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

The QR/P4-8S-C(21) qualifies as a direct substitute because it maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters while offering active product status and improved availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The QR/P4-8S-C(21) is the direct substitute for the QR/P4-8S-C(01). Both parts are manufactured by Hirose Electric Co Ltd and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The QR/P4-8S-C(21) offers the advantage of active product status, ensuring continued availability and support. Both parts carry RoHS compliance and identical moisture sensitivity ratings, meeting regulatory requirements for current applications. Selection between these parts should be based on procurement timeline and inventory requirements, as the QR/P4-8S-C(21) provides greater long-term availability assurance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the QR/P4-8S-C(21) be used as a direct replacement for the QR/P4-8S-C(01)?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical connector type, position count, pitch, row configuration, mounting style, and color. All critical electrical and mechanical parameters are equivalent.

Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers?

A: The primary difference is product status. The QR/P4-8S-C(01) is obsolete, while the QR/P4-8S-C(21) is active. The QR/P4-8S-C(21) is supplied in bag packaging, whereas the QR/P4-8S-C(01) packaging is unspecified. Both maintain identical functional specifications.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the QR/P4-8S-C(01) and QR/P4-8S-C(21) are RoHS compliant with identical moisture sensitivity levels.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: The QR/P4-8S-C(21) should be selected for new designs due to its active product status and assured long-term availability.

Q: Do these connectors include contacts?

A: No. Both parts are housings for female sockets only. Contacts must be sourced separately.
