Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the QR/P8-12P-C(01) is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type: Housing for Male Pins
• Number of Positions: 12
• Pitch: 0.079" (2.00mm)
• Number of Rows: 2
• Connector Style: Rack and Panel
• Mounting Type: Panel Mount
• Features: Guide Pin
• Color: Black
• Base Product Number: QR/P8 series

The QR/P8-12P-C(21) meets all these criteria and is classified as an active product, making it a direct functional equivalent suitable for replacement applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The QR/P8-12P-C(21) is the direct substitute for the obsolete QR/P8-12P-C(01). Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including connector type, position count, pitch, row configuration, mounting method, and guide pin features. The primary distinction is product status: QR/P8-12P-C(01) is obsolete while QR/P8-12P-C(21) is active and currently available.

From a compliance perspective, QR/P8-12P-C(21) provides enhanced RoHS certification (ROHS3 Compliant versus RoHS Compliant) and includes REACH Unaffected status, offering improved regulatory alignment for new designs and ongoing procurement. Both parts maintain identical MSL ratings and export classifications.

Selection of QR/P8-12P-C(21) is appropriate for replacement, repair, and new implementation scenarios where the QR/P8-12P-C(01) was previously specified.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are QR/P8-12P-C(01) and QR/P8-12P-C(21) mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors are identical in mechanical configuration, including housing dimensions, pin pitch (2.00mm), row arrangement (2 rows), mounting interface, and guide pin positioning. They are direct mechanical equivalents.

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

A: The primary difference is product status. QR/P8-12P-C(01) is classified as obsolete, while QR/P8-12P-C(21) is active. Additionally, QR/P8-12P-C(21) carries ROHS3 Compliant certification and REACH Unaffected status, compared to the standard RoHS Compliant designation of QR/P8-12P-C(01).

Q: Can I use QR/P8-12P-C(21) as a direct replacement in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. The electrical and mechanical specifications are identical, making QR/P8-12P-C(21) a direct functional replacement for QR/P8-12P-C(01) in all applications.

Q: What packaging is available for the substitute part?

A: QR/P8-12P-C(21) is supplied in bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement specifications.

Q: Are contacts included with these connectors?

A: No. Both QR/P8-12P-C(01) and QR/P8-12P-C(21) are housing-only components. Contacts must be sourced separately.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these connectors?

A: Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.
