Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 1-145165-2 are determined by strict equivalence across all electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute relationship is based on the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Configuration: 184-position female PCI 3.3V 64-bit card edge connector
• Contact Pitch: 0.050" (1.27mm) spacing
• Physical Dimensions: Card thickness 0.062" (1.57mm), dual-row configuration
• Contact Properties: Phosphor bronze material with gold plating at 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness
• Mounting & Termination: Through-hole solder mounting with staggered termination
• Series Classification: Standard Edge .050 series

The substitute part 1-5145165-2 maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications while differing in packaging format and RoHS compliance status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 1-145165-2 and 1-5145165-2 are functionally equivalent PCI card edge connectors with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts is determined by specific application requirements:

1-145165-2 (Main Part): Select this part number when standard packaging is required and RoHS non-compliant components are acceptable for the application. This part maintains the original specification baseline.

1-5145165-2 (Substitute): Select this part number when bulk packaging is required or when ROHS3 compliance is mandated by design specifications or regulatory requirements. This variant provides the same connector functionality with updated compliance certification.

Both parts are active products with current manufacturing support and adequate inventory availability. The choice between them depends solely on packaging format and compliance certification requirements, not on electrical or mechanical performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 1-145165-2 and 1-5145165-2 electrically identical?

A: Yes. Both connectors feature 184 positions, PCI 3.3V 64-bit configuration, 0.050" pitch, phosphor bronze contacts with gold plating, and identical termination specifications. They are electrically equivalent.

Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers?

A: The primary differences are packaging format (standard versus bulk) and RoHS compliance status (non-compliant versus ROHS3 compliant). All electrical and mechanical parameters are identical.

Q: Can I substitute 1-5145165-2 for 1-145165-2 in my design?

A: Substitution is valid when bulk packaging is acceptable and ROHS3 compliance does not conflict with existing design specifications. The connectors are mechanically and electrically interchangeable.

Q: Does the bulk packaging of 1-5145165-2 affect connector performance?

A: No. Packaging format does not affect connector electrical or mechanical performance. Bulk packaging is a supply chain consideration only.

Q: Why does 1-5145165-2 have ROHS3 compliance while 1-145165-2 does not?

A: The substitute part reflects updated manufacturing processes and material sourcing that meet current ROHS3 standards. Both parts maintain identical contact materials and finishes.

Q: Are both parts currently available?

A: Yes. The 1-145165-2 has 1094 units in stock, and the 1-5145165-2 has 898 units in stock. Both are active products with current manufacturing support.

Q: What is the significance of the base product numbers 145165 and 5145165?

A: The base product numbers identify the core connector design. The prefix variation (1- versus 1-5-) indicates different packaging and compliance variants of the same fundamental connector specification.
