Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the WB3M200VD2 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Connector type classification (Plug, Outer Shroud Contacts)
• Position count (200 positions)
• Contact pitch (0.020" / 0.50mm)
• Row configuration (2 rows)
• Mounting technology (Surface Mount)
• Contact material and finish (Gold plating)
• Functional features (Board Guide, Solder Retention)

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors part number 3-1981052-5 meets all primary electrical and mechanical substitution criteria. Both components share identical position counts, pitch specifications, row configurations, mounting methods, and contact finish materials. Both incorporate board guide and solder retention features required for reliable assembly and operation.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity 3-1981052-5 serves as a direct functional substitute for the obsolete WB3M200VD2. Selection of this alternative is supported by:

• Active product status ensuring continued availability and manufacturing support
• RoHS compliance certification, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements
• Identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical substitution parameters
• Equivalent moisture sensitivity classification (MSL 1) for storage and handling
• Matching ECCN and HTSUS classifications for regulatory consistency

Both components share the same ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4040) classifications, confirming regulatory equivalence for import and export purposes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 3-1981052-5 be used as a direct replacement for WB3M200VD2 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical position counts, pitch specifications, row configurations, mounting methods, and contact finish materials. The substitute meets all primary electrical and mechanical requirements for direct substitution.

Q: What are the differences between these two connectors?

A: The primary differences are product status and compliance certifications. The WB3M200VD2 is obsolete, while the 3-1981052-5 is active. The TE Connectivity part carries RoHS compliance certification. Additionally, the contact finish thickness and mated stacking heights differ between the two parts, though these do not affect functional substitution eligibility.

Q: Are there any height or form factor considerations when substituting?

A: The 3-1981052-5 has a greater height above board (0.293" versus 0.146") and larger mated stacking height (8mm versus 4mm). These dimensional differences must be evaluated against specific PCB layout and enclosure constraints in the target application.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for both connectors?

A: Both connectors are classified as MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage, handling, or shelf life.

Q: Are there inventory considerations for this substitution?

A: The WB3M200VD2 has 5,300 pieces in stock, while the 3-1981052-5 has 979 pieces available. Inventory levels should be evaluated based on production timelines and supply chain requirements.
