Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 150230-2000-RB is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Connector type: Receptacle with female socket contacts
• Position count and arrangement: 30 positions in 2-row configuration
• Mating pitch: 0.079" (2.00mm) with matching row spacing
• Mounting technology: Surface mount with solder termination
• Contact finish: Gold-plated mating surface
• Fastening mechanism: Push-pull engagement system
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliant status

The substitute part 55510-130LF meets these core substitution criteria while maintaining functional compatibility in board-to-board connector applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 150230-2000-RB and 55510-130LF are active production parts with RoHS compliance and MSL 1 rating, suitable for general industrial and medical applications. The 150230-2000-RB provides a higher voltage rating of 500VDC, while the 55510-130LF offers an extended operating temperature range to 125°C and higher current capacity at 2A. Selection between these parts should be based on specific application voltage and temperature requirements. Both connectors maintain identical mechanical and mating interface specifications, ensuring physical and functional interchangeability in board-to-board configurations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 55510-130LF directly replace 150230-2000-RB in existing designs?

A: Physical and mating interface compatibility is confirmed. However, application voltage and current requirements must be evaluated. The 150230-2000-RB supports 500VDC, while 55510-130LF is rated for 200V. The 55510-130LF provides higher current capacity at 2A versus 1A for the 150230-2000-RB.

Q: What are the key mechanical compatibility factors?

A: Both connectors share identical pitch (0.079"), row configuration (2 rows), position count (30), and push-pull fastening. Insulation height differs slightly: 150230-2000-RB at 0.183" (4.65mm) versus 55510-130LF at 0.177" (4.50mm). This minor variation does not affect board-level compatibility.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 150230-2000-RB is supplied in trays, while 55510-130LF is supplied in tubes. This affects handling and storage but does not impact connector performance or compatibility.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory standards?

A: Both connectors are RoHS compliant with UL94 V-0 flammability rating and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity level. The 55510-130LF is REACH affected, while the 150230-2000-RB is REACH unaffected.

Q: What is the operating temperature consideration for substitution?

A: The 150230-2000-RB operates from -55°C to 105°C, while 55510-130LF extends to 125°C. Applications requiring operation above 105°C should use the 55510-130LF.
