Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1715107106 be used as a direct replacement for the 1715107006?

A: Yes. Both connectors are identical in electrical ratings (0.75A per contact, 150VAC/DC), mechanical configuration (52 positions, 6×8 layout, 0.092" pitch), mounting type (through-hole right angle), and termination method (press-fit). The 1715107106 is the active equivalent.

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

A: The primary differences are product status and compliance certifications. The 1715107006 is obsolete with undefined moisture sensitivity, while the 1715107106 is active, ROHS3 compliant, and specifies MSL 1 (Unlimited).

Q: Are there any mechanical or dimensional differences?

A: No. Both connectors maintain identical dimensions, pitch spacing (0.092"), row/column configuration (6×8), and contact layout (48 signal, 4 power).

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level (MSL) difference?

A: The 1715107006 lists MSL as vendor undefined, creating uncertainty for storage and handling protocols. The 1715107106 specifies MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions and simplified logistics handling.

Q: Is the 1715107106 ROHS compliant?

A: Yes. The 1715107106 is ROHS3 compliant. The 1715107006 compliance status is not specified in the available data.

Q: Can these connectors be used in high-temperature applications?

A: Both connectors operate across the -55°C to 85°C temperature range, suitable for standard industrial and commercial backplane applications within this specification.
