Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 353183-8 are qualified based on identical electrical and mechanical parameters. The following criteria determine substitution eligibility:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Connector type (Plug, Outer Shroud Contacts)
• Number of positions (100)
• Pitch (0.024" / 0.60mm)
• Number of rows (2)
• Mounting type (Surface Mount)
• Contact finish (Gold) and finish thickness (8.00µin)
• Mated stacking height (4mm)
• Height above board (0.136" / 3.45mm)
• Features (Board Guide, Solder Retention)
• Series (Free Height GIGA)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level (1)

All substitute parts listed maintain these parameters without deviation. Substitution is based on product status transition from obsolete to active, compliance certifications, and packaging format availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: 5353183-8

The 5353183-8 is the direct manufacturer equivalent to the obsolete 353183-8. This part maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications while offering active product status. The 5353183-8 is RoHS3 compliant, addressing regulatory requirements that the original part does not meet. This part is supplied in bulk packaging and represents the most direct replacement path for existing designs.

Secondary Substitutes: 3-5353184-8 and 5353184-8

Both 3-5353184-8 and 5353184-8 are parametric equivalents with identical connector specifications. These parts are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, suitable for automated assembly processes. The 5353184-8 offers the additional advantage of REACH Unaffected status, providing enhanced regulatory clarity. Both parts are RoHS compliant and maintain active product status.

Compliance Considerations

The original 353183-8 is RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected. All substitute parts address these compliance gaps through RoHS compliance certification. The 5353184-8 provides the most comprehensive regulatory profile with REACH Unaffected status.

Packaging Selection

Bulk packaging (353183-8, 5353183-8) is appropriate for manual assembly and prototyping. Tape & Reel packaging (3-5353184-8, 5353184-8) is required for high-volume automated surface mount assembly operations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5353183-8 be used as a direct replacement for the 353183-8?

A: Yes. The 5353183-8 maintains identical electrical and mechanical parameters including connector type, position count, pitch, mounting type, contact finish, and all dimensional specifications. The primary differences are product status (active versus obsolete) and RoHS compliance certification.

Q: What is the difference between bulk and Tape & Reel packaging options?

A: Bulk packaging (353183-8, 5353183-8) is supplied loose and is suitable for manual assembly, prototyping, and low-volume applications. Tape & Reel packaging (3-5353184-8, 5353184-8) is formatted for automated pick-and-place equipment and is required for high-volume surface mount assembly operations. The connector specifications are identical; packaging format is the only difference.

Q: Are all substitute parts electrically and mechanically compatible with the original 353183-8?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts (5353183-8, 3-5353184-8, 5353184-8) maintain identical specifications for connector type, position count, pitch, row configuration, mounting type, contact finish, contact finish thickness, stacking height, board height, and features. Substitution is based on parameter equivalence.

Q: What is the significance of RoHS compliance for these connectors?

A: RoHS compliance indicates the part meets restrictions on hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment. The original 353183-8 is RoHS non-compliant. All substitute parts are RoHS compliant (either RoHS3 or RoHS Compliant), meeting current regulatory requirements for new designs and procurement.

Q: Which substitute part should be selected for automated assembly?

A: For automated surface mount assembly, select either 3-5353184-8 or 5353184-8, both supplied in Tape & Reel packaging. The 5353184-8 offers the additional advantage of REACH Unaffected status. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical to the original 353183-8.

Q: Is the Moisture Sensitivity Level the same across all parts?

A: Yes. All parts, including the original 353183-8 and all substitutes, have Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage or handling.

Q: What is the ECCN classification for these connectors?

A: All parts in this series, including 353183-8 and all substitutes, are classified as ECCN EAR99, indicating they are not subject to export control restrictions.
