Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the QR/P8-8S-C(01) is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Style: Housing for female sockets, rack and panel configuration
• Electrical Specifications: 8 positions, 2.00mm pitch, 2-row arrangement
• Mechanical Compatibility: Panel mount receptacle with mating guide
• Physical Characteristics: Black color housing
• Environmental Compliance: RoHS compliance and MSL rating

The QR/P8-8S-C(21) meets all substitution criteria as a direct equivalent within the QR/P8 series, with the primary distinction being active product status and updated packaging configuration.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The QR/P8-8S-C(21) is the direct substitute for the obsolete QR/P8-8S-C(01). Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, ensuring full functional compatibility in backplane connector applications. The QR/P8-8S-C(21) carries active product status from Hirose Electric Co Ltd, providing assured supply chain availability and ongoing manufacturer support. The upgrade from RoHS Compliant to ROHS3 Compliant status on the substitute part reflects current environmental compliance standards. Selection of the QR/P8-8S-C(21) is appropriate for both legacy system maintenance requiring exact replacement and new designs where the QR/P8 series specifications are required.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are QR/P8-8S-C(01) and QR/P8-8S-C(21) electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both components are 8-position, 2.00mm pitch housing for female sockets connectors with identical electrical specifications and mechanical mounting configurations.

Q: What is the significance of the product status change from obsolete to active?

A: The QR/P8-8S-C(21) is actively manufactured and supported by Hirose Electric Co Ltd, ensuring reliable supply availability and technical support. The QR/P8-8S-C(01) is no longer in production.

Q: Does the packaging difference between the two parts affect compatibility?

A: Packaging differences do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. The QR/P8-8S-C(21) is supplied in bulk packaging, while the QR/P8-8S-C(01) packaging specification was not provided. Both parts are functionally identical for connector applications.

Q: What does ROHS3 compliance mean compared to RoHS Compliant?

A: ROHS3 represents the current version of the Restriction of Hazardous Substances directive. The QR/P8-8S-C(21) meets this updated standard, while the QR/P8-8S-C(01) met the earlier RoHS standard. Both are compliant with hazardous substance restrictions.

Q: Are there any environmental or storage considerations for these connectors?

A: Both components carry MSL rating 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity limitations for storage or handling.
