Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 1-87232-0 and 1-87233-0 electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain identical electrical specifications including 3A current rating, phosphor bronze contact material, gold-plated mating surfaces, and operating temperature range of -65°C to 105°C. The reduced gold finish thickness on the 1-87233-0 does not affect electrical performance within these parameters.

Q: What is the difference in insulation material between these parts?

A: The 1-87232-0 uses polyamide (PA) nylon with glass filler, while the 1-87233-0 uses thermoplastic insulation. Both materials achieve UL94 V-0 flammability rating and maintain identical mechanical dimensions and performance characteristics across the specified operating temperature range.

Q: Can I use the 1-87233-0 as a replacement in existing designs using the 1-87232-0?

A: Yes. The 1-87233-0 maintains identical mechanical dimensions, pitch spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm), contact geometry, and mounting configuration. Direct substitution is supported for through-hole, right-angle mounting applications.

Q: Why does the 1-87232-0 have Last Time Buy status?

A: Last Time Buy status indicates the manufacturer has discontinued production of this part number. The 1-87233-0 is the active equivalent part maintained in the AMPMODU Mod II series for ongoing supply.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 1-87232-0 packaging is not specified in available documentation. The 1-87233-0 is supplied in bulk packaging. Contact the manufacturer or authorized distributor for specific packaging requirements and options.

Q: Do both parts meet RoHS and REACH compliance requirements?

A: Yes. Both the 1-87232-0 and 1-87233-0 are ROHS3 compliant and carry REACH Affected status. Both parts maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity level, requiring no special handling during storage or assembly.

Q: What applications are these connectors suitable for?

A: These 10-position, 0.100" pitch header connectors are designed for board-to-board and cable interconnection applications requiring solder termination, through-hole mounting, and right-angle orientation. The 3A current rating and -65°C to 105°C operating range support industrial and commercial electronic equipment.

Q: Is the gold finish thickness difference significant for my application?

A: The 1-87233-0 features 15.0µin (0.38µm) gold finish thickness on mating contacts compared to 30.0µin (0.76µm) on the 1-87232-0.
