Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 54201-G08-03P is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Header with male pin contacts
• Position Count & Pitch: 3 positions at 0.100" (2.54mm) spacing
• Mounting Technology: Surface mount solder termination
• Contact Material & Finish: Gold-plated contacts on phosphor bronze or copper alloy base
• Mechanical Compatibility: Board-to-board style, unshrouded design
• Regulatory Compliance: UL94 V-0 flammability rating, MSL 1 moisture sensitivity

The substitute parts identified maintain these core electrical and mechanical parameters while offering improved product status or enhanced compliance characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

54201-G0803PLF (Amphenol ICC - FCI): This part maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the main part while offering active product status and RoHS compliance. The packaging format is tube. This represents the direct equivalent for applications requiring the same connector type and contact configuration.

812-22-003-30-006101 (Mill-Max Manufacturing Corp.): This alternative uses spring piston contacts instead of male pins, maintaining the 3-position, 0.100" pitch configuration and surface mount technology. It carries ROHS3 compliance and active product status. The different contact type requires mechanical compatibility verification with mating connectors.

812-22-003-30-007101 (Mill-Max Manufacturing Corp.): This part shares the same specifications as 812-22-003-30-006101 but is listed as discontinued at DiGi Electronics. It is not recommended for new designs requiring long-term availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 54201-G0803PLF be used as a direct replacement for 54201-G08-03P?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical connector type (header), contact configuration (male pin), position count (3), pitch spacing (0.100"), mounting method (surface mount), and contact finish specifications. The primary difference is product status and RoHS compliance.

Q: What is the key difference between the Amphenol and Mill-Max alternatives?

A: The Amphenol 54201-G0803PLF maintains the male pin contact design. The Mill-Max 812-22 series uses spring piston contacts. Both achieve the same 3-position, 0.100" pitch spacing and surface mount configuration, but the contact mechanism differs. Mechanical compatibility with mating connectors must be confirmed.

Q: Are the Mill-Max parts suitable for new designs?

A: The 812-22-003-30-006101 is active and carries ROHS3 compliance, making it suitable for new designs. The 812-22-003-30-007101 is discontinued at DiGi Electronics and should not be selected for new applications.

Q: What packaging options are available?

A: The 54201-G0803PLF is supplied in tube packaging. Packaging information for the Mill-Max alternatives is not specified in the provided data.

Q: Does RoHS compliance affect substitution eligibility?

A: RoHS compliance is a regulatory consideration. The main part (54201-G08-03P) is RoHS non-compliant, while 54201-G0803PLF and both Mill-Max alternatives are RoHS or ROHS3 compliant. Selection depends on application regulatory requirements.
