Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution between the main part 1-120528-1 and the equivalent part 1-5120528-1 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Electrical and Mechanical Compatibility Parameters:

• Connector type (Receptacle, Outer Shroud Contacts)
• Number of positions (64)
• Pitch spacing (0.039" / 1.00mm)
• Number of rows (2)
• Mounting type (Surface Mount)
• Contact finish thickness (50.0µin / 1.27µm)
• Mated stacking heights (8mm, 9mm, 10mm)
• Height above board (0.211" / 5.35mm)
• Series designation (Free Height IEEE 1386, PMC)
• Moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1)

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Contact finish material (Gold vs. Galvanized)
• Packaging format (Tube vs. Tape & Reel)
• RoHS compliance status

The substitute part maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications while offering alternative contact finish and packaging options suitable for different manufacturing and regulatory environments.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

1-120528-1 (Gold Contact Finish, Tube Packaging)

Select this part when:

• Gold contact finish is specified in design requirements
• Tube packaging is compatible with assembly processes
• RoHS non-compliance is acceptable for the application
• Lower volume requirements align with tube packaging economics

1-5120528-1 (Galvanized Contact Finish, Tape & Reel Packaging)

Select this part when:

• ROHS3 compliance is required by regulatory or customer specifications
• Tape & Reel packaging is required for automated assembly processes
• Galvanized contact finish meets application performance requirements
• Higher volume production justifies tape & reel packaging format

Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical performance within the Free Height IEEE 1386 and PMC series standards. The selection between these parts is determined by packaging format requirements, compliance certifications, and contact finish specifications rather than functional capability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are these parts electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain identical electrical specifications including 64 positions, 0.039" (1.00mm) pitch, 2-row configuration, and contact finish thickness of 50.0µin (1.27µm). The difference in contact finish material (Gold vs. Galvanized) does not affect electrical compatibility.

Q: What is the difference between Tube and Tape & Reel packaging?

A: Tube packaging (1-120528-1) is suitable for lower volume applications and manual handling. Tape & Reel packaging (1-5120528-1) is designed for automated pick-and-place assembly equipment and higher volume production runs. The connector specifications remain identical; only the packaging format differs.

Q: Does RoHS compliance affect part selection?

A: RoHS compliance is a regulatory requirement that depends on the end application and market. The 1-120528-1 is RoHS non-compliant, while the 1-5120528-1 is ROHS3 compliant. If your application requires ROHS3 compliance, the 1-5120528-1 must be selected. If RoHS compliance is not required, either part is acceptable.

Q: Can I use the Galvanized contact finish part in place of the Gold contact finish part?

A: Both parts have identical contact finish thickness (50.0µin / 1.27µm) and are mechanically and electrically compatible. The choice between Gold and Galvanized finishes depends on application-specific requirements such as corrosion resistance, environmental conditions, and design specifications. Verify that Galvanized finish meets your application requirements before substitution.

Q: Are the mechanical dimensions identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical mechanical specifications: 0.211" (5.35mm) height above board, mated stacking heights of 8mm, 9mm, and 10mm, and all other dimensional parameters. They are mechanically interchangeable within the Free Height IEEE 1386 and PMC series standards.

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

A: Both parts have Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) 1, which indicates unlimited moisture tolerance. No special moisture control measures are required during storage or handling.

Q: Are there any export or tariff considerations?

A: Both parts share the same ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4040) classifications, indicating identical export control and tariff treatment.
