SMS2P1 Rectangular Connector Plug Housing - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SMS2P1 is a 2-position rectangular connector plug housing manufactured by Souriau-Sunbank by Eaton. This component is a black polyamide (PA66/Nylon 6/6) housing designed for crimp termination with a 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch in a single-row, free-hanging in-line configuration. The part is currently active in production with 954 units in stock. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are required due to inventory constraints, supply chain considerations, or design flexibility within the allowed parameter specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SMS2P1 is determined by strict alignment with the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector Type: Plug housing
• Number of Positions: 2
• Pitch: 0.200" (5.08mm)
• Number of Rows: 1
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Color: Black
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant

Allowable Variations:

• Contact Termination: Crimp or Crimp and Solder (expanded capability)
• Insulation Material: Polyamide (PA) or Polyamide (PA66) variants
• Operating Temperature Range: Minimum -55°C to maximum 105°C or higher
• Fastening Type: Latch Holder or Latch Lock (functional equivalents)

The TST02PA00 from ITT Cannon, LLC meets all mandatory parameters and allowable variations, qualifying it as a direct substitute for the SMS2P1.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the SMS2P1 and TST02PA00 are active production components with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting current regulatory requirements. The TST02PA00 offers an extended operating temperature range (-55°C minimum versus -40°C) and dual termination capability (crimp and solder), providing additional design flexibility. Selection between these parts should be based on specific application requirements, connector interface compatibility with mating components, and termination method preferences. Both parts are suitable for equivalent electrical and mechanical applications within the specified parameter envelope.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TST02PA00 be used as a direct replacement for the SMS2P1?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical connector type, position count, pitch, row configuration, mounting type, and color. The TST02PA00 meets all mandatory substitution criteria and offers compatible or enhanced specifications in termination method and operating temperature range.

Q: What is the difference in fastening type between these parts?

A: The SMS2P1 uses a Latch Holder fastening mechanism, while the TST02PA00 uses a Latch Lock mechanism. Both are functional fastening systems for plug housings and are mechanically compatible within the 2-position, 5.08mm pitch rectangular connector category.

Q: Does the TST02PA00 support crimp termination like the SMS2P1?

A: Yes. The TST02PA00 supports both crimp and solder termination methods, making it compatible with applications requiring crimp termination and offering additional flexibility for solder termination applications.

Q: Are there any temperature range limitations when substituting?

A: No. The TST02PA00 operates across -55°C to 105°C, which encompasses the SMS2P1 operating range of -40°C to 105°C. Applications within the SMS2P1 temperature specification are fully supported by the TST02PA00.

Q: What packaging differences exist between these parts?

A: The SMS2P1 is supplied in standard packaging, while the TST02PA00 is supplied in bulk packaging. Verify packaging requirements for your procurement and assembly processes.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the SMS2P1 and TST02PA00 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory standards.
