ZHR-2-E Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The ZHR-2-E is a 2-position rectangular connector housing manufactured by JST Sales America Inc. as part of the ZH series. This receptacle housing accepts female socket contacts and operates across a temperature range of -25°C to 85°C. The connector features a 1.50mm pitch and is designed for free-hanging, in-line mounting applications with crimp-style termination. This part is actively produced and RoHS compliant.

Equivalent substitute parts may be required due to supply chain constraints, inventory availability, or specific application requirements where alternative manufacturers' offerings meet the same electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the ZHR-2-E are identified based on strict equivalence of the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Receptacle housing with female socket contacts
• Position Count & Pitch: 2-position arrangement at 0.059" (1.50mm) pitch
• Row Configuration: Single-row layout
• Mounting & Termination: Free-hanging, in-line mounting with crimp termination
• Material & Environmental Compliance: Polyamide (PA66) insulation, RoHS compliance, and MSL 1 rating

The substitute part 353908-2 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors, Mini CT series) meets all these core parameters and is therefore classified as a parametric equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the ZHR-2-E and 353908-2 are active production parts with RoHS compliance and MSL 1 ratings, making them suitable for equivalent substitution in applications requiring 2-position, 1.50mm pitch rectangular connector housings with female socket contacts.

The 353908-2 offers an extended operating temperature range (-30°C to 105°C) compared to the ZHR-2-E (-25°C to 85°C), providing additional thermal margin in applications subject to extreme environmental conditions. However, both parts meet the same electrical and mechanical interface requirements for crimp-terminated, free-hanging in-line mounting.

Selection between these parts should be based on supply availability, application temperature requirements, and any design-specific color or series preferences. Both parts are manufactured to equivalent standards and certifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 353908-2 be used as a direct replacement for the ZHR-2-E?

A: Yes. Both parts are 2-position receptacle housings with 1.50mm pitch, female socket contacts, crimp termination, and identical insulation material. They are mechanically and electrically compatible for equivalent applications.

Q: What is the significance of the different operating temperature ranges?

A: The ZHR-2-E operates from -25°C to 85°C, while the 353908-2 operates from -30°C to 105°C. The 353908-2 provides extended thermal capability. For applications within the ZHR-2-E range, both parts perform identically. For applications requiring temperatures below -25°C or above 85°C, the 353908-2 is the appropriate selection.

Q: Does the color difference (Blue vs. White) affect compatibility?

A: No. Color is a visual identifier only and does not affect electrical or mechanical function. Selection between blue and white housings is based on design preference or application-specific color coding requirements.

Q: Are the contacts included with these housings?

A: No. Both the ZHR-2-E and 353908-2 are housings only. Contacts must be sourced separately and crimped into the housing according to manufacturer specifications.

Q: What does MSL 1 (Unlimited) mean for these parts?

A: MSL 1 indicates the lowest moisture sensitivity level. These parts have unlimited shelf life and do not require special moisture-controlled storage or handling procedures prior to assembly.
