Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

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

• Connector Type: Housing for Female Sockets
• Number of Positions: 12
• Pitch: 0.079" (2.00mm)
• Number of Rows: 2
• Mounting Type: Panel Mount
• Connector Style: Rack and Panel
• Color: Black
• Features: Mating Guide

The QR/P8-12S-C(21) meets all substitution criteria as a direct equivalent from the same manufacturer and series (QR/P8), with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary distinction is product status and packaging configuration.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The QR/P8-12S-C(21) is the direct substitute for the obsolete QR/P8-12S-C(01). Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, ensuring full functional compatibility in rack and panel backplane applications.

The QR/P8-12S-C(21) offers the following advantages:

• Active product status with ongoing manufacturer support
• ROHS3 compliance, exceeding the RoHS compliance level of the original part
• REACH Unaffected certification
• Higher inventory availability (1015 Pcs vs. 678 Pcs)
• Bulk packaging option for production environments

Selection between these parts should be based on procurement timeline, inventory requirements, and regulatory compliance mandates specific to the application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

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

A: Yes. Both components are 12-position housings for female sockets with identical pitch (0.079" / 2.00mm), row configuration (2 rows), mounting type (panel mount), and connector style (rack and panel). They are direct mechanical equivalents.

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

A: The primary differences are product status (obsolete vs. active), packaging configuration (standard vs. bulk), and compliance certifications (RoHS vs. ROHS3, with REACH status specified for the newer variant). Electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Can I use QR/P8-12S-C(21) as a replacement in existing designs using QR/P8-12S-C(01)?

A: Yes. The QR/P8-12S-C(21) is a direct substitute with identical form, fit, and function. The enhanced compliance certifications make it suitable for new designs and legacy system maintenance.

Q: Are contacts included with these housings?

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

Q: What packaging options are available?

A: QR/P8-12S-C(01) is supplied in standard packaging. QR/P8-12S-C(21) is available in bulk packaging, suitable for high-volume production environments.
