• Row Spacing - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Connector Type: Header
• Contact Type: Male Pin
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Shrouding: Shrouded - 4 Wall
• Termination: Solder
• Fastening Type: Push-Pull
• Contact Material: Phosphor Bronze
• Insulation Material: Polyester, Glass Filled
• Contact Shape: Square
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0

Allowable Variations:

• Contact Length - Mating: Variation permitted within mechanical envelope constraints
• Contact Length - Post: Variation permitted based on application requirements
• Overall Contact Length: Variation permitted based on PCB stack-up requirements
• Insulation Height: Variation permitted for elevated header designs
• Contact Finish: Variation permitted (Gold GXT™ to Tin)
• Insulation Color: Variation permitted
• Product Status: Obsolete to Active transition acceptable
• RoHS Compliance: Enhancement from non-compliant to compliant acceptable

The 65692-008LF represents a direct manufacturer equivalent with identical electrical and mechanical specifications but enhanced RoHS compliance. The Samtec ZST-110 series (ZST-110-01-T-D-515 and ZST-110-02-T-D-515) qualify as cross-manufacturer substitutes with elevated header design, expanded operating temperature range, and specified current rating per contact.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Manufacturer Equivalent (65692-008LF): The 65692-008LF is the primary substitute for the obsolete 65692-008. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, with the key distinction being active product status and RoHS compliance. This part maintains the original contact finish (Gold GXT™) and dimensional profile, ensuring direct PCB compatibility without design modification. Selection of 65692-008LF is appropriate for applications requiring minimal design change and continued use of the original connector footprint.

Cross-Manufacturer Alternatives (Samtec ZST-110 Series): The Samtec ZST-110-01-T-D-515 and ZST-110-02-T-D-515 represent qualified cross-manufacturer substitutes with enhanced specifications. Both variants feature elevated header design, expanded operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 105°C), and specified current rating (3.4A per contact). The primary distinction between these two variants is contact post length: ZST-110-01-T-D-515 provides 0.115" (2.92mm) post length for standard PCB stack-ups, while ZST-110-02-T-D-515 provides 0.215" (5.46mm) post length for applications requiring extended engagement depth.

Selection of Samtec alternatives is appropriate when:

• Extended operating temperature range is required
• Elevated header design accommodates thicker PCB assemblies or daughter card applications
• Tin contact finish is acceptable for the application
• Cross-manufacturer qualification is permitted by design standards

All substitute parts maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating, MSL 1 classification, and EAR99 export control status, ensuring compliance with standard industrial requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 65692-008LF be used as a direct replacement for the 65692-008?

A: Yes. The 65692-008LF is electrically and mechanically identical to the 65692-008, with the addition of RoHS compliance and active product status. No design modification is required. The part uses the same PCB footprint, contact pitch, and mating interface.

Q: What is the primary difference between the Samtec ZST-110-01-T-D-515 and ZST-110-02-T-D-515?

A: The primary difference is contact post length. The ZST-110-01-T-D-515 has a 0.115" (2.92mm) post length, while the ZST-110-02-T-D-515 has a 0.215" (5.46mm) post length. This affects overall contact length and insulation height, making the ZST-110-02-T-D-515 suitable for applications with thicker PCB assemblies or extended engagement requirements.

Q: Are the Samtec ZST-110 parts compatible with the original 65692-008 PCB footprint?

A: The Samtec parts share identical mating pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm), row spacing, and connector interface, ensuring compatibility with the original footprint. However, the elevated header design and increased insulation height may require clearance verification in the PCB assembly area above the connector.

Q: What is the difference between Gold GXT™ and Tin contact finishes?

A: The 65692-008 and 65692-008LF use Gold GXT™ finish, while the Samtec ZST-110 series uses Tin finish. Both finishes provide adequate corrosion resistance and electrical conductivity for standard applications. Contact finish selection depends on application-specific requirements for contact resistance, wear characteristics, and environmental exposure.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: The 65692-008LF is RoHS Compliant. The Samtec ZST-110-01-T-D-515 and ZST-110-02-T-D-515 are ROHS3 Compliant. The original 65692-008 is RoHS non-compliant. For applications requiring RoHS compliance, use 65692-008LF or the Samtec alternatives.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for each part?

A: The 65692-008 and 65692-008LF do not specify an operating temperature range. The Samtec ZST-110-01-T-D-515 and ZST-110-02-T-D-515 specify -55°C ~ 105°C operating temperature range. For applications requiring extended temperature operation, the Samtec alternatives are appropriate.

Q: Can the Samtec ZST-110 parts be used in applications originally designed for the 65692-008?

A: Yes, provided that the elevated header design and increased insulation height do not create mechanical interference in the assembly. The mating interface, contact pitch, and electrical characteristics are compatible. Design verification is required to confirm clearance in the PCB assembly area.
