Aries Electronics 20-0513-10T SIP Socket Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Aries Electronics 20-0513-10T is a 20-position SIP (Single In-line Package) socket designed for IC and transistor applications. This through-hole connector features gold-plated mating contacts and tin-plated posts, providing reliable electrical connections in standard 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch configurations. The part is currently active in production with 751 units in stock. Alternative components may be required due to inventory constraints, application-specific requirements, or design standardization across manufacturing facilities.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The Mill-Max Manufacturing Corp. 310-99-120-41-001000 qualifies as a substitute based on the following critical parameters:

• Number of Positions: Both parts accommodate 20 positions
• Pitch - Mating: Both use 0.100" (2.54mm) standard pitch
• Mounting Type: Both are through-hole mounted with solder termination
• Current Rating: Both rated at 3 A
• Contact Material - Mating: Both use Beryllium Copper
• Material Flammability Rating: Both meet UL94 V-0
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: Both rated MSL 1 (Unlimited)
• Termination Post Length: Both specify 0.125" (3.18mm)
• Contact Finish - Post: Both use Tin-based finish with 200.0µin (5.08µm) thickness

The substitute part functions as a receptacle connector in a board-to-board configuration, maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility with the original SIP socket specification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both parts maintain active production status and meet identical safety and environmental compliance standards (UL94 V-0, MSL 1). The primary distinction lies in regulatory compliance: the Aries 20-0513-10T is ROHS3 compliant, while the Mill-Max 310-99-120-41-001000 is RoHS non-compliant. Selection between these parts depends on application requirements regarding RoHS compliance. The contact finish difference (gold versus tin-lead on mating surfaces) reflects different design approaches but does not affect functional compatibility given the identical current rating and beryllium copper base material. Both parts are REACH unaffected and classified under identical HTSUS and ECCN codes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Mill-Max 310-99-120-41-001000 directly replace the Aries 20-0513-10T in existing designs?

A: Mechanical and electrical compatibility is maintained across all critical parameters: 20-position configuration, 0.100" pitch, 3 A current rating, and identical termination post specifications. However, RoHS compliance status differs. Verify application requirements before substitution.

Q: What is the significance of the contact finish difference between gold and tin-lead?

A: Both finishes provide adequate electrical performance at the specified 3 A current rating with beryllium copper base material. The gold finish on the Aries part offers enhanced corrosion resistance, while the tin-lead finish on the Mill-Max part is standard for non-RoHS applications. Selection depends on environmental exposure and compliance requirements.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The Aries 20-0513-10T is supplied in bulk packaging, while the Mill-Max 310-99-120-41-001000 is supplied in tube packaging. This affects handling and storage procedures but does not impact electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: Do both parts meet the same safety standards?

A: Both parts are rated UL94 V-0 for material flammability and MSL 1 (Unlimited) for moisture sensitivity. Both are REACH unaffected. The Aries part carries ROHS3 compliance; the Mill-Max part does not.

Q: What is the inventory status for these parts?

A: The Aries 20-0513-10T has 751 units in stock. The Mill-Max 310-99-120-41-001000 has 989 units in stock.
