Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 8060-1G13 is determined by the following critical parameters that must remain consistent across equivalent parts:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Type: Transistor, TO-5 socket
• Number of Positions: 3 (Round)
• Contact Finish - Mating: Gold
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Features: Closed Frame
• Termination: Solder
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 125°C
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

Allowable Variations:

• Manufacturer and part number (different suppliers)
• Contact Material - Mating (beryllium copper or equivalent)
• Housing Material (PTFE or alternative polymers meeting performance requirements)
• Contact Finish - Post (gold or tin acceptable)
• Contact Material - Post (beryllium copper or brass alloy acceptable)
• Product Status (active status preferred for obsolete parts)
• RoHS Compliance Status (RoHS3 Compliant acceptable for RoHS Compliant)
• Packaging format (tube or alternative)

The Mill-Max Manufacturing Corp. 917-43-103-41-005000 qualifies as a direct substitute based on matching all mandatory parameters while offering active product status and enhanced availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Mill-Max Manufacturing Corp. 917-43-103-41-005000 is a qualified substitute for the obsolete TE Connectivity 8060-1G13 based on the following engineering criteria:

Functional Equivalence: Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications for TO-5 transistor socket applications, including 3-position round contact configuration, gold-plated mating surfaces, and through-hole solder termination.

Compliance Status: The 917-43-103-41-005000 carries ROHS3 Compliant certification, which supersedes the RoHS Compliant status of the original part. Both parts are REACH-affected or unaffected within acceptable regulatory frameworks for electronic components.

Product Availability: The substitute part maintains active product status with 1917 pieces in stock, compared to the obsolete status of the 8060-1G13 with 991 pieces available. Active status ensures long-term procurement viability and supply chain continuity.

Temperature and Environmental Performance: Both parts operate across the identical temperature range of -55°C to 125°C and maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, confirming equivalent environmental performance characteristics.

Housing Material Variation: The substitute employs PCT/Polyester housing material in place of PTFE. Both materials are thermoplastic polymers suitable for through-hole socket applications within the specified temperature range.

Contact Post Differences: The substitute features tin-plated brass alloy posts compared to gold-plated beryllium copper posts in the original. This variation is acceptable for solder termination applications and does not compromise functional compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Mill-Max 917-43-103-41-005000 be used as a direct replacement for the TE Connectivity 8060-1G13 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical specifications for TO-5 transistor socket applications, including 3-position round contact configuration, gold mating contact finish, through-hole mounting, and closed frame design. The operating temperature range and moisture sensitivity level are equivalent.

Q: What is the significance of the housing material difference between PTFE and PCT/Polyester?

A: Both materials are thermoplastic polymers suitable for through-hole socket applications. PTFE offers superior chemical resistance, while PCT/Polyester provides comparable mechanical performance within the -55°C to 125°C operating range specified for both parts. The material change does not affect functional compatibility.

Q: Why does the substitute part have tin-plated posts instead of gold-plated posts?

A: Tin plating on solder termination posts is a standard industry practice for through-hole connectors. Tin provides adequate corrosion resistance and solderability for PCB assembly. The gold-plated mating contacts remain unchanged, ensuring consistent contact performance with TO-5 transistor leads.

Q: Is the 3 A current rating of the substitute part relevant for transistor socket applications?

A: The current rating specification indicates the maximum current capacity of the connector contacts. For TO-5 transistor socket applications, this rating is typically not a limiting factor, as transistor lead currents remain well below this threshold. The specification confirms adequate contact capacity for the intended application.

Q: What is the impact of the substitute part's active product status compared to the obsolete original?

A: Active product status ensures ongoing manufacturing, quality control, and supply chain availability. For obsolete parts, active substitutes provide long-term procurement security and reduce the risk of future supply discontinuation.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the two parts?

A: The original part packaging is not specified. The substitute is supplied in tube packaging. Tube packaging is standard for through-hole connectors and does not affect functional performance or PCB assembly compatibility.

Q: Do both parts meet current regulatory compliance requirements?

A: Yes. The original part is RoHS Compliant, and the substitute is ROHS3 Compliant. ROHS3 represents an updated compliance standard that supersedes earlier RoHS requirements. Both parts meet current regulatory frameworks for electronic component distribution.
