Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 60RF-JMCS-G-1B-TF(N)(LF)(SN) is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Receptacle with center strip contacts
• Position Count & Pitch: 60 positions at 0.020" (0.50mm) pitch
• Row Configuration: 2-row arrangement
• Mounting Technology: Surface mount compatibility
• Contact Material: Gold plating for electrical performance
• Mechanical Features: Board guide and solder retention capability
• Compliance Requirements: ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating

The substitute part DF17(3.0)-60DS-0.5V(57) meets all these criteria, enabling direct functional replacement in applications requiring this connector specification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The DF17(3.0)-60DS-0.5V(57) from Hirose Electric Co Ltd is a direct functional equivalent for the obsolete 60RF-JMCS-G-1B-TF(N)(LF)(SN). Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters: 60-position configuration, 0.50mm pitch, 2-row layout, surface mount technology, and gold contact finish.

The substitute part maintains full compliance with ROHS3 requirements and MSL 1 rating. The height above board difference of 0.008" (0.20mm) falls within acceptable tolerance for standard PCB design practices. The active product status of the Hirose component ensures ongoing availability and supply chain continuity, addressing the obsolescence of the original JST part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the DF17(3.0)-60DS-0.5V(57) be used as a direct replacement for the 60RF-JMCS-G-1B-TF(N)(LF)(SN)?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical position count, pitch, row configuration, mounting type, and contact finish. The 0.008" height difference does not affect functional compatibility in standard applications.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the two parts?

A: No. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating, meeting identical environmental and regulatory requirements.

Q: What is the significance of the packaging difference?

A: The substitute part is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, which is standard for high-volume surface mount assembly. This packaging format is compatible with automated pick-and-place equipment used in modern PCB manufacturing.

Q: Does the active product status of the substitute part affect compatibility?

A: No. Active product status indicates ongoing manufacturer support and supply availability, which is advantageous for long-term production requirements. Functional compatibility is determined solely by electrical and mechanical parameters.

Q: Are there any mechanical constraints related to the height difference?

A: The DF17(3.0)-60DS-0.5V(57) has a height above board of 0.138" compared to 0.130" for the original part. This 0.008" (0.20mm) difference is negligible for standard PCB layouts and does not impact mating stack heights or clearance requirements in typical applications.
