Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 1658012-2 are identified based on strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitution criteria are defined by the following parameters:

• Connector Type: Receptacle with center strip contacts
• Number of Positions: 80 positions
• Pitch: 0.031" (0.80mm)
• Number of Rows: 2 rows
• Mounting Type: Surface mount
• Contact Finish: Gold plating at 10.0µin (0.25µm) thickness
• Height Above Board: 0.128" (3.25mm)
• Mated Stacking Heights: Full compatibility across 5mm through 30mm range
• Features: Board guide and ground bus plane
• Series: MICTOR
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: MSL 1 (Unlimited)

Parts meeting all these parameters are classified as parametric equivalents and direct substitutes. Variations in any of these parameters disqualify a part from substitution classification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 1658012-2 and 2-1658012-2 are Active product status components manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors within the MICTOR series. Both parts are RoHS compliant and classified under identical ECCN and HTSUS codes. The 1658012-2 carries RoHS3 compliance certification, while the 2-1658012-2 carries RoHS compliance certification. Both components maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity level, indicating no special storage or handling requirements.

Selection between these parts is based on compliance requirements specific to the application and regulatory jurisdiction. The 1658012-2 is suitable for applications requiring RoHS3 compliance. The 2-1658012-2 is suitable for applications requiring RoHS compliance. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical across all connector specifications, including position count, pitch, mounting type, contact finish, and stacking height compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 1658012-2 and 2-1658012-2 fully interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts are parametric equivalents with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. They share the same connector type, position count (80), pitch (0.031"), mounting type (surface mount), contact finish (gold at 10.0µin), and mated stacking height range (5mm to 30mm). Both are MICTOR series receptacles with center strip contacts and board guide features.

Q: What is the difference between RoHS3 and RoHS compliance?

A: The 1658012-2 carries RoHS3 compliance certification, while the 2-1658012-2 carries RoHS compliance certification. Both meet lead-free and hazardous substance restrictions. The specific compliance level should be selected based on application and regulatory requirements.

Q: Can these connectors be used in applications requiring different mated stacking heights?

A: Yes. Both the 1658012-2 and 2-1658012-2 support mated stacking heights of 5mm, 8mm, 11mm, 14mm, 16mm, 19mm, 22mm, 25mm, and 30mm. The connector design accommodates this full range of stacking configurations.

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

A: Both parts are classified as MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. These components do not require special moisture control or baking procedures prior to assembly.

Q: Are these surface mount connectors suitable for automated assembly?

A: Yes. Both the 1658012-2 and 2-1658012-2 are surface mount rectangular connectors with board guide features, designed for automated pick-and-place assembly processes. The 0.128" (3.25mm) height above board and 0.031" (0.80mm) pitch are standard for automated handling equipment.

Q: What contact finish specifications apply to these connectors?

A: Both parts feature gold contact finish with a thickness of 10.0µin (0.25µm). This specification applies uniformly across all 80 positions in the 2-row configuration.
