Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts maintain active product status and comply with RoHS3 and REACH requirements, equivalent to the primary part's RoHS compliance. MSL 1 rating is consistent across all options, indicating unlimited shelf life under standard storage conditions.

Selection by Contact Finish Requirements:

ZSS-130-01-S-D-515 and ZSS-130-03-S-D-490 provide gold mating contact finish at 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness, matching the primary part specification. ZSS-130-01-S-D-515 maintains 0.515" insulation height and -55°C ~ 125°C operating range. ZSS-130-03-S-D-490 offers extended post contact length at 0.340" (8.64mm) with 0.490" insulation height.

ZSS-130-01-G-D-515 provides gold mating finish at reduced thickness of 10.0µin (0.25µm) with gold post finish and -55°C ~ 125°C operating range.

ZSS-130-01-L-D-500 offers gold mating finish at 10.0µin thickness with tin post finish and 0.500" insulation height.

ZSS-130-01-T-D-520 features tin mating and post finishes with -55°C ~ 105°C operating range, suitable for applications not requiring extended high-temperature performance.

Selection by Insulation Height:

Insulation height variations range from 0.490" to 0.520". Applications with space constraints may require ZSS-130-03-S-D-490 at 0.490" or ZSS-130-01-L-D-500 at 0.500". Standard height applications accommodate ZSS-130-01-G-D-515, ZSS-130-01-S-D-515, or ZSS-130-01-T-D-520 at 0.515" to 0.520".

Selection by Post Contact Length:

ZSS-130-01-T-D-520, ZSS-130-01-G-D-515, and ZSS-130-01-S-D-515 provide post lengths of 0.110" to 0.115" (2.79mm to 2.92mm). ZSS-130-01-L-D-500 extends to 0.130" (3.30mm). ZSS-130-03-S-D-490 provides maximum post length at 0.340" (8.64mm) for applications requiring deeper PCB penetration.

All substitute parts are actively manufactured and maintain equivalent electrical and mechanical compatibility within the specified parameter ranges.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What are the critical parameters that determine if a substitute part is compatible with the 2-87592-6?

A: The following parameters must match exactly: 60 positions, 2 rows, 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing, 0.100" (2.54mm) row spacing, through-hole mounting, solder termination, shrouded 4-wall configuration, male pin contact type, phosphor bronze contact material, and square contact shape. All substitute parts meet these requirements.

Q: How do the Samtec ZSS series parts differ from the TE Connectivity AMPMODU Mod II in terms of mechanical fit?

A: The primary differences are contact length dimensions and insulation height. The 2-87592-6 features overall contact length of 1.016" (25.81mm) with 0.440" insulation height. Samtec substitutes range from 0.630" to 0.830" overall contact length with insulation heights from 0.490" to 0.520". These variations affect PCB stack-up and mating depth. ZSS-130-03-S-D-490 most closely approaches the original post contact length at 0.340" (8.64mm) versus the original 0.608" (15.44mm).

Q: What is the difference between the fastening mechanisms?

A: The 2-87592-6 uses detent lock fastening, while all Samtec substitutes employ push-pull fastening. Both mechanisms provide secure mating and unmating but operate through different mechanical principles. Push-pull fastening is standard across the ZSS series.

Q: Are there temperature rating differences among the substitute parts?

A: ZSS-130-01-T-D-520 operates at -55°C ~ 105°C, while ZSS-130-01-G-D-515, ZSS-130-01-L-D-500, ZSS-130-01-S-D-515, and ZSS-130-03-S-D-490 all support -55°C ~ 125°C. Applications requiring operation above 105°C must use parts other than ZSS-130-01-T-D-520.

Q: What is the significance of contact finish thickness variations?

A: Contact finish thickness affects durability and wear resistance. The 2-87592-6 specifies 30.0µin (0.76µm) gold mating finish. ZSS-130-01-G-D-515 and ZSS-130-01-L-D-500 provide reduced thickness at 10.0µin (0.25µm), while ZSS-130-01-S-D-515 and ZSS-130-03-S-D-490 match the original 30.0µin specification. Thicker finishes provide extended contact life in high-cycle mating applications.

Q: How do insulation material differences affect performance?

A: The 2-87592-6 uses polyamide (PA) nylon glass-filled insulation, while all Samtec substitutes use polyester glass-filled insulation. Both materials provide adequate electrical insulation and mechanical support. Polyester offers different thermal and chemical resistance characteristics compared to polyamide.

Q: Which substitute part most closely matches the original 2-87592-6 specifications?

A: ZSS-130-01-S-D-515 provides the closest match with gold mating contact finish at 30.0µin thickness, matching the original specification, and maintains -55°C ~ 125°C operating range. However, contact length and insulation height remain different due to the architectural differences between AMPMODU Mod II and Flex Stack ZSS series.

Q: Are all substitute parts available in equivalent packaging quantities?

A: Substitute parts are supplied in bulk packaging. Inventory levels vary: ZSS-130-01-S-D-515 (1095 Pcs), ZSS-130-03-S-D-490 (969 Pcs), ZSS-130-01-G-D-515 (833 Pcs), ZSS-130-01-T-D-520 (852 Pcs), and ZSS-130-01-L-D-500 (678 Pcs). The original 2-87592-6 is supplied in tray packaging with 907 Pcs in stock.

Q: Do all parts maintain the same compliance certifications?

A: All parts are RoHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and carry EAR99 ECCN classification with matching HTSUS code 8536.69.4040. MSL 1 rating is consistent across all options. The 2-87592-6 is RoHS compliant (not specifically ROHS3), while substitutes are ROHS3 compliant, representing an equivalent or higher compliance level.
