Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The QR/P8-20P-C(21) qualifies as a direct substitute for the QR/P8-20P-C(01) based on the following critical parameters:

• Series Match: Both parts belong to the QR/P8 series
• Position Count: Identical 20-position configuration
• Pitch Specification: Both maintain 0.079" (2.00mm) pitch
• Row Configuration: Both feature 2-row layout
• Connector Type: Both are housings for male pins
• Connector Style: Both are rack and panel connectors
• Mounting Type: Both are panel mount
• Connector Usage: Both function as plugs
• Features: Both include guide pin
• Color: Both are black
• Regulatory Compliance: Both are RoHS compliant and EAR99 classified
• MSL Rating: Both carry MSL 1 (Unlimited)

The primary distinction is product status: QR/P8-20P-C(01) is obsolete, while QR/P8-20P-C(21) is active with current manufacturing availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The QR/P8-20P-C(21) is the appropriate selection for new designs and ongoing procurement applications. This part maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the QR/P8-20P-C(01) while offering the following advantages:

• Active Product Status: QR/P8-20P-C(21) is currently manufactured and supported by Hirose Electric Co Ltd, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity
• Enhanced RoHS Compliance: Upgraded to ROHS3 Compliant status, meeting current regulatory requirements
• REACH Compliance: Explicitly confirmed as REACH Unaffected, providing additional regulatory assurance
• Current Inventory: 782 pieces available as new original stock in bulk packaging

For legacy systems currently using QR/P8-20P-C(01), direct substitution with QR/P8-20P-C(21) is supported without design modification due to identical connector specifications, pitch, position count, and mounting configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can QR/P8-20P-C(21) directly replace QR/P8-20P-C(01) in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications including 20-position configuration, 0.079" (2.00mm) pitch, 2-row layout, panel mount type, and guide pin features. No design changes are required for substitution.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: QR/P8-20P-C(01) is classified as obsolete. QR/P8-20P-C(21) is the active equivalent part from Hirose Electric Co Ltd, ensuring continued availability and manufacturing support.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these parts?

A: Both parts are RoHS compliant. QR/P8-20P-C(21) carries ROHS3 Compliant status and is confirmed REACH Unaffected, providing enhanced regulatory documentation compared to QR/P8-20P-C(01).

Q: What is the packaging difference?

A: QR/P8-20P-C(01) packaging is not specified. QR/P8-20P-C(21) is supplied in bulk packaging.

Q: Are contacts included with these connectors?

A: No. Both QR/P8-20P-C(01) and QR/P8-20P-C(21) are housings for male pins only. Contacts must be sourced separately.

Q: What is the MSL rating for these connectors?

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