Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The substitute part 810-002-SP2L001 maintains electrical and mechanical compatibility with the 800-002-SP2-001 based on the following critical parameters:

• Position count: Both parts feature 2 (1 x 2) configuration
• Pitch spacing: Both maintain 0.079" (2.00mm) pitch
• Connector type: Both are open-top female socket designs
• Contact finish: Both use gold flash plating
• Housing color: Both are black
• Flammability rating: Both meet UL94 V-0

The substitute part differs in height (0.140" versus 0.177"), housing material composition (PBT glass-filled versus thermoplastic glass-filled), current rating (3A versus 1A), and product status (active versus obsolete). These differences represent improvements in performance and availability without compromising core functional compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 810-002-SP2L001 is the direct substitute for the obsolete 800-002-SP2-001. Selection of the substitute part is supported by:

• Active product status ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity
• ROHS3 compliance meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements
• Identical electrical and mechanical interface parameters (position count, pitch, contact finish, connector type)
• Enhanced current rating (3A versus 1A) providing margin for system requirements
• Reduced profile height (0.140" versus 0.177") offering potential space optimization benefits
• Equivalent flammability certification (UL94 V-0) maintaining safety standards

The substitute part is suitable for direct replacement in applications where the original 800-002-SP2-001 was specified, provided that the lower profile height and higher current capacity do not create design conflicts.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 810-002-SP2L001 be used as a direct replacement for the 800-002-SP2-001?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical position count (2), pitch spacing (0.079"), connector type (open-top female socket), contact finish (gold flash), and flammability rating (UL94 V-0). The substitute part is electrically and mechanically compatible.

Q: What is the significance of the height difference between these parts?

A: The 810-002-SP2L001 has a lower profile (0.140" versus 0.177"). This difference must be evaluated against your PCB layout and mating connector specifications to ensure clearance and proper engagement.

Q: Why is the current rating different between the two parts?

A: The 810-002-SP2L001 is rated for 3A compared to the 1A rating of the 800-002-SP2-001. This represents an improvement in the substitute part's electrical capacity and does not prevent substitution in applications requiring 1A or less.

Q: What does RoHS3 compliance mean for the substitute part?

A: ROHS3 compliance indicates the 810-002-SP2L001 meets current European Union Restriction of Hazardous Substances regulations. The original 800-002-SP2-001 is RoHS non-compliant. This distinction is relevant for applications subject to RoHS requirements.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 800-002-SP2-001 is available in standard packaging, while the 810-002-SP2L001 is supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging format does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: What housing materials are used in each part?

A: The 800-002-SP2-001 uses thermoplastic glass-filled material, while the 810-002-SP2L001 uses polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) glass-filled material. Both are glass-filled polymers meeting UL94 V-0 flammability requirements.
