XHP-7 Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The XHP-7 is a 7-position rectangular connector housing manufactured by JST Sales America Inc. in the XH series. This receptacle housing accepts female socket contacts with a 0.098" (2.50mm) pitch and is designed for free-hanging in-line mounting applications using crimp termination. The part is actively produced and ROHS3 compliant, making it suitable for modern electronic assemblies requiring reliable interconnection in compact form factors.

Substitute parts become necessary when primary sourcing is unavailable, when alternative manufacturers offer better lead times or inventory availability, or when design flexibility permits equivalent connector housings from qualified suppliers. All substitute parts listed maintain electrical and mechanical compatibility through matching core parameters: 7-position capacity, 2.50mm pitch, receptacle configuration, female socket contacts, and crimp termination.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the XHP-7 is determined by strict adherence to the following core parameters:

Critical Matching Parameters (Non-Negotiable):

• Number of Positions: 7
• Pitch: 0.098" (2.50mm)
• Connector Type: Receptacle
• Contact Type: Female Socket
• Contact Termination: Crimp
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Number of Rows: 1

Compatible Variation Parameters:

• Insulation Material: Polyamide variants (PA6, PA66, PA) are functionally equivalent
• Color: Natural or White finishes do not affect electrical performance
• Fastening Type: Presence or absence of friction lock does not prevent substitution
• Operating Temperature Range: Substitute parts with equal or wider temperature ranges are acceptable

All four substitute parts listed (25CH-B-07, 440133-7, 172142-7, 0511910700) meet these criteria and are therefore direct functional equivalents for the XHP-7.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All four substitute parts are actively produced and ROHS3 compliant, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing. Selection among these equivalents should be based on the following factors:

Inventory Availability: Molex 0511910700 offers the highest current stock level at 18,792 pieces, followed by TE Connectivity 172142-7 at 14,831 pieces. These options provide the shortest procurement lead times for high-volume requirements.

Operating Temperature Range: Molex 0511910700 and TE Connectivity 440133-7 both support extended temperature ranges (-40°C to 105°C and -25°C to 105°C respectively), exceeding the XHP-7 specification of -25°C to 85°C. These parts are suitable for applications requiring broader thermal performance.

Compliance and Certifications: All substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating, ensuring compatibility with modern assembly processes and long-term storage without moisture sensitivity concerns.

Mechanical Compatibility: The 25CH-B-07 from Adam Tech includes friction lock fastening, providing additional mechanical retention compared to the XHP-7. This feature does not prevent substitution but may offer enhanced performance in vibration-prone applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use any of these substitute parts interchangeably with the XHP-7 in my design?

A: Yes. All four substitute parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications for the critical parameters: 7-position capacity, 2.50mm pitch, receptacle configuration, female socket contacts, and crimp termination. They are direct functional equivalents and can be used interchangeably without design modification.

Q: What is the significance of the different insulation materials (PA6 vs. PA66)?

A: Both polyamide variants (PA6 and PA66) are acceptable for this connector housing category. The material differences do not affect electrical performance or mechanical compatibility. Selection between them is typically driven by supplier availability and cost considerations.

Q: Does the color difference between Natural and White housings affect compatibility?

A: No. Color is a cosmetic parameter and does not impact electrical or mechanical function. The XHP-7 (Natural) and 25CH-B-07 (White) are fully compatible substitutes.

Q: Why does the Molex 0511910700 have a wider operating temperature range?

A: The Molex part is specified for -40°C to 105°C, compared to the XHP-7 specification of -25°C to 85°C. This wider range reflects the design capabilities of the Molex housing. For applications operating within the XHP-7 temperature range, both parts perform identically. For applications requiring extended temperature performance, the Molex part provides additional margin.

Q: Are all these parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All five parts (XHP-7 and the four substitutes) are ROHS3 compliant and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings, meeting current regulatory requirements and assembly process standards.

Q: What does "Contacts Not Included" mean for these housings?

A: These part numbers refer to the connector housing only. Female socket contacts must be sourced separately and crimped into the housing during assembly. Ensure that selected contacts match the 2.50mm pitch specification and are compatible with crimp termination.

Q: Can I substitute based on series number alone?

A: No. Series designation (XH, 25CH, 51191, EI, HPI) identifies the manufacturer's product line but does not guarantee compatibility. Substitution must be based on the complete set of electrical and mechanical parameters listed in this reference, not series designation alone.
