Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution between the main part 145154-8 and the identified equivalent 5145154-8 is based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. Both parts maintain identical specifications across all critical functional parameters: 120-position configuration, 0.050" pitch, dual read-out, female gender, PCI™ card type, phosphor bronze contact material with gold finish at 30.0µin thickness, thermoplastic insulation, through-hole mounting with staggered solder termination, and board guide features.

The primary distinction between these parts is packaging format and RoHS compliance status. The substitute part 5145154-8 is supplied in bulk packaging and carries ROHS3 compliance certification, whereas the main part 145154-8 is RoHS non-compliant. Both parts share the same base product number series and maintain identical electrical and mechanical performance characteristics.

Substitution is valid when the following parameters are matched:

• Card type (PCI™)
• Gender (Female)
• Number of positions (120)
• Pitch (0.050")
• Contact material and finish specifications
• Mounting and termination methods
• Insulation material properties

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 145154-8 and 5145154-8 are functionally equivalent PCI card edge connectors with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on compliance and packaging requirements specific to the application.

The 145154-8 is suitable for applications where RoHS compliance is not a regulatory requirement and standard packaging is acceptable. This part maintains active production status with 1115 units in current inventory.

The 5145154-8 is the appropriate selection for applications requiring ROHS3 compliance certification. This substitute part is supplied in bulk packaging format and maintains active production status with 1222 units in current inventory. The bulk packaging format may be advantageous for high-volume manufacturing operations.

Both parts are manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors and carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4040) classifications. Selection between these parts does not impact electrical performance, mechanical fit, or thermal characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 145154-8 and 5145154-8 electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically identical with 120 positions, 0.050" pitch, dual read-out configuration, and identical contact material and finish specifications. They perform identically in PCI™ card edge applications.

Q: What is the difference between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are packaging format and RoHS compliance status. The 145154-8 uses standard packaging and is RoHS non-compliant. The 5145154-8 uses bulk packaging and carries ROHS3 compliance certification. All electrical and mechanical parameters are identical.

Q: Can I use 5145154-8 as a direct replacement for 145154-8?

A: Yes, the 5145154-8 is a direct mechanical and electrical substitute for the 145154-8. The bulk packaging format does not affect connector performance or installation procedures.

Q: Does the bulk packaging of 5145154-8 affect installation or performance?

A: No. Bulk packaging refers only to the quantity and presentation format of the parts during shipment and storage. Once installed, the connector functions identically to the standard-packaged version.

Q: Which part should I select for RoHS-compliant applications?

A: The 5145154-8 carries ROHS3 compliance certification and is the appropriate selection for applications requiring RoHS compliance documentation.

Q: Are both parts currently available?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain active production status. The 145154-8 has 1115 units in inventory, and the 5145154-8 has 1222 units in inventory.

Q: Do these connectors support the full PCI™ specification?

A: Both connectors are designed for PCI™ card edge applications with 120-position configuration, 0.050" pitch, and dual read-out, meeting standard PCI™ connector requirements.

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

A: Both parts carry Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.
