Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the QR/P8-8S-C(02) is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type: Housing for female sockets
• Number of positions: 8
• Pitch: 0.079" (2.00mm)
• Number of rows: 2
• Connector style: Rack and panel
• Mounting type: Panel mount
• Connector usage: Receptacle
• Color: Black
• Features: Mating guide
• RoHS compliance: Required
• Moisture sensitivity level: 1 (Unlimited)

The QR/P8-8S-C(22) meets all these criteria and is classified as an active product, making it a direct functional equivalent suitable for replacement in applications currently using the obsolete QR/P8-8S-C(02).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The QR/P8-8S-C(22) is the direct equivalent for the obsolete QR/P8-8S-C(02). Both parts are manufactured by Hirose Electric Co Ltd within the same QR/P8 series and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The QR/P8-8S-C(22) maintains active product status with confirmed inventory availability, ensuring reliable supply for new designs and replacement applications. Both parts carry RoHS compliance certification and identical moisture sensitivity ratings, meeting regulatory and environmental requirements. The only difference is packaging configuration (bulk for the substitute), which does not affect functional compatibility or performance characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the QR/P8-8S-C(22) be used as a direct replacement for the QR/P8-8S-C(02)?

A: Yes. Both parts are identical in all electrical and mechanical parameters, including connector type, position count, pitch, row configuration, mounting style, and color. The QR/P8-8S-C(22) is the active equivalent.

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

A: The primary difference is product status. The QR/P8-8S-C(02) is obsolete, while the QR/P8-8S-C(22) is active. Packaging differs (bulk for the substitute), but this does not affect connector performance or compatibility.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns when substituting the QR/P8-8S-C(22) for the QR/P8-8S-C(02)?

A: No compatibility concerns exist. Both parts conform to identical specifications for pitch, position count, mounting type, and connector style. They are mechanically and electrically interchangeable.

Q: Do both parts meet RoHS compliance requirements?

A: Yes. Both the QR/P8-8S-C(02) and QR/P8-8S-C(22) are RoHS compliant and carry identical moisture sensitivity level ratings.

Q: Why should I transition from the QR/P8-8S-C(02) to the QR/P8-8S-C(22)?

A: The QR/P8-8S-C(02) is obsolete and subject to discontinuation. The QR/P8-8S-C(22) is an active product with confirmed inventory, ensuring long-term supply availability and design continuity.
