08SH-A-02-TS-SMT-PP-T/R Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 08SH-A-02-TS-SMT-PP-T/R is a surface mount rectangular connector header manufactured by Adam Tech, designed for 2-position board-to-cable/wire applications with 0.031" (0.80mm) pitch mating. This connector features shrouded 4-wall construction with solder termination and friction lock fastening. The part is currently discontinued at DiGi Electronics, making equivalent substitutes necessary for ongoing production and maintenance applications requiring compatible 2-position 0.8mm pitch header connectors.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 08SH-A-02-TS-SMT-PP-T/R is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Series: Must be Header type within the 08SH series
• Position Count & Pitch: Must maintain 2 positions with 0.031" (0.80mm) mating pitch
• Mounting Configuration: Must be Surface Mount with Shrouded 4-Wall construction
• Termination Method: Must use Solder termination with Friction Lock fastening
• Electrical Ratings: Voltage and temperature operating ranges must be compatible
• Compliance: Must maintain ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability rating

The substitute part 08SH-A-02-GS-SMT-PP-T/R meets these core substitution criteria as a member of the same 08SH series with identical position count, pitch, mounting type, and shrouding configuration.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 08SH-A-02-GS-SMT-PP-T/R serves as an active substitute for the discontinued 08SH-A-02-TS-SMT-PP-T/R. Both parts maintain identical mechanical compatibility, pitch, position count, and mounting configuration. Both are ROHS3 compliant and carry UL94 V-0 flammability certification.

The primary electrical difference is the voltage rating: the main part is rated 250VAC/DC while the substitute is rated 30VAC/DC. Selection between these parts depends on the application's voltage requirements. For applications operating at or below 30VAC/DC, the substitute part is suitable. For applications requiring higher voltage ratings, the main part specifications must be met through alternative sourcing channels or design modification.

The substitute part includes Pick and Place features and uses gold flash contact finish with phosphor bronze material, which may provide enhanced corrosion resistance in certain environments compared to the tin-finished copper alloy contacts of the main part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 08SH-A-02-GS-SMT-PP-T/R directly replace the 08SH-A-02-TS-SMT-PP-T/R in all applications?

A: Direct replacement is possible only when the application voltage requirement does not exceed 30VAC/DC. The main part supports 250VAC/DC operation. Verify your circuit voltage specifications before substitution.

Q: What are the key mechanical compatibility factors?

A: Both parts share identical mating pitch (0.031"/0.80mm), position count (2), shrouding configuration (4-wall), and surface mount termination method. PCB footprints and connector mating interfaces are compatible.

Q: How do the contact materials differ?

A: The main part uses tin-finished copper alloy contacts. The substitute uses gold flash-finished phosphor bronze contacts. Gold plating provides enhanced corrosion resistance and lower contact resistance, beneficial in high-reliability or harsh environment applications.

Q: What is the significance of the insulation material difference?

A: The main part uses polyamide (PA) nylon insulation, while the substitute uses thermoplastic insulation. Both materials meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and operate across the same temperature range (-25°C to 85°C).

Q: Why is the substitute part listed as Active while the main part is Discontinued?

A: The main part has been discontinued at DiGi Electronics. The substitute part remains in active production and inventory, making it available for new designs and ongoing production requirements.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: Both parts are supplied in Cut Tape (CT) packaging. Inventory availability differs: the main part has 2566 pieces in stock, while the substitute has 2241 pieces in stock.
