Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The substitute part 3260-8S1(55) is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the main part number 3260-8S1. Substitution is valid based on the following matching parameters:

• Connector type: Receptacle
• Number of positions: 8
• Pitch - mating: 0.031" (0.80mm)
• Mounting type: Surface mount, right angle
• Contact finish - mating: Gold
• Current rating: 500mA
• Voltage rating: 125VAC
• Insulation material: Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS)
• Material flammability rating: UL94 V-0
• Features: Board guide, shielded
• Series: 3200
• Termination: Solder
• Fastening type: Latch holder

The primary distinction between these part numbers is product status and packaging configuration, not electrical or mechanical performance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 3260-8S1(55) is the direct substitute for the obsolete 3260-8S1. Selection of 3260-8S1(55) is supported by the following factors:
