Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

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

• Connector Type: Housing for Male Pins (identical function and mating interface)
• Number of Positions: 8 (pin count must match exactly)
• Pitch: 0.177" (4.50mm) (contact spacing determines mechanical compatibility)
• Number of Rows: 2 (row configuration must be identical)
• Connector Style: Rack and Panel (application-specific form factor)
• Mounting Type: Panel Mount (installation method must be compatible)
• Color: Blue (visual identification and specification compliance)
• Features: Guide Pin (functional feature for alignment)

The QR/P-8P-C(21) meets all these criteria and is classified as an active product, making it a direct equivalent substitute for the obsolete QR/P-8P-C(01).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The QR/P-8P-C(21) is the direct equivalent substitute for QR/P-8P-C(01). Both parts are manufactured by Hirose Electric Co Ltd and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters. The primary distinction is product status: QR/P-8P-C(01) is obsolete while QR/P-8P-C(21) is active and currently in production.

For new designs, system upgrades, or component replacement in existing installations, QR/P-8P-C(21) is the appropriate selection. Both parts maintain RoHS compliance and identical MSL ratings, ensuring regulatory and environmental compatibility. The active status of QR/P-8P-C(21) provides assured long-term availability and supply chain continuity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can QR/P-8P-C(21) be used as a direct replacement for QR/P-8P-C(01)?

A: Yes. Both parts are identical in connector type, position count, pitch, row configuration, mounting style, and all functional features. The QR/P-8P-C(21) is the active equivalent of the obsolete QR/P-8P-C(01).

Q: What is the difference between QR/P-8P-C(01) and QR/P-8P-C(21)?
