It uses a threaded coupling nut for a vibration-resistant mate and a full metal shell with nickel finish for shielding — the kind of interconnect you spec when the cable runs through an industrial cabinet or near motor drives and you need the braid to terminate at the connector body, not float. The 1 A per contact rating at 30VAC/42VDC puts this firmly in signal territory — sensor lines, encoder feedback, low-power I/O — not a power feed. ## Solder Cup Termination and Strain Relief Termination is solder cup — you tin the wire, insert into the cup, and flow solder. No crimp tool needed, which makes this field-serviceable if you have an iron and heat shrink. The backshell includes a clamp and strain relief, so the cable jacket is gripped before the wires enter the solder cups; pull on the cable and the load goes into the shell, not the solder joints. The insert material is polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), a high-temp thermoplastic that holds up to soldering heat without deforming. That thickness is standard for moderate mating-cycle duty — think 500 to 1000 cycles in a test-equipment or instrumentation harness where the connector gets unplugged a few times a week. ## Operating Range and Flammability Rating The connector is ROHS3 Compliant. ## 8 Positions vs 6 Positions — Same Shell, Different Pin Count The HR25-7TP-8S(72) shares the same Shell Size 7 and all ratings with the 6-position HR25-7TP-6P(72) — same 1 A per contact, same 30VAC/42VDC, same threaded coupling and shielded shell. The difference is two extra circuits in the same shell diameter. If your BOM calls for 8 signal lines, the 6-position plug leaves two wires unterminated; the 8-position fills the shell. The 6-position male-pin variant exists if you need pins instead of sockets on the plug side, but the shell and keying are identical. ## Plug vs Jack — Mating Half Clarified This is a plug with female sockets. The mating half is the HR25-7TJ-8S(72) — a jack with female sockets, same 8 positions, same shell size 7. The threaded coupling nut on the plug engages the jack's thread; the keyed orientation prevents misalignment. Both sides carry gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts and the same 1 A/30VAC rating. If you need a male-pin jack, that variant exists in the series but is not this part.","metaTitle":"Hirose HR25-7TP-8S(72) Plug, 8 Pos, Solder Cup, 1A","metaDescription":"Hirose HR25-7TP-8S(72) HR25 series plug, 8-position female sockets, solder cup termination, 1A/30VAC, shielded, threaded coupling.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":"HR25","packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":"ROHS3 Compliant","productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Circular Connectors","Circular Cable Assemblies"],"specifications":{"Mfr":"Hirose Electric Co Ltd","Color":"Black, Silver","Series":"HR25","Package":"Bulk","Features":"Backshell, Clamp, Coupling Nut, Strain Relief","Shielding":"Shielded","Orientation":"Keyed","Termination":"Solder Cup","Applications":"Industrial","Shell Finish":"Nickel","Cable Opening":"-","Mounting Type":"Free Hanging (In-Line)","Connector Type":"Plug, Female Sockets","Fastening Type":"Threaded","Product Status":"Active","Shell Material":"Zinc Alloy","Voltage Rating":"30VAC, 42VDC","Insert Material":"Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS)","Shell Size, MIL":"-","lifecycle_stage":"unknown","Contact Material":"Phosphor Bronze","Mounting Feature":"-","Primary Material":"Metal","Ingress Protection":"-","Base Product Number":"HR25","Number of Positions":"8","Shell Size - Insert":"7","Current Rating (Amps)":"1A","Operating Temperature":"-25°C ~ 85°C","Contact Finish - Mating":"Gold","Backshell Material, Plating":"Brass, Nickel","Material Flammability Rating":"UL94 V-0","Contact Finish Thickness - Mating":"8.00µin (0.203µm)"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$20.9300","priceTiers":[{"qty":1,"price":"$20.93000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10,"price":"$18.32500","currency":"USD"},{"qty":25,"price":"$17.53360","currency":"USD"},{"qty":50,"price":"$16.96800","currency":"USD"},{"qty":100,"price":"$16.40240","currency":"USD"},{"qty":250,"price":"$15.49744","currency":"USD"},{"qty":500,"price":"$15.04496","currency":"USD"}]},"links":{"datasheetUrl":null,"sourceUrl":null,"alternativesUrl":"https://icsourcedirect.com/api/mcp/products/HR25-7TP-8S(72)/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"Where can I buy HR25-7TP-8S(72) and what is the price?","answer":"The HR25-7TP-8S(72) is sourced to order through independent distribution.
