• Matching HTSUS commodity code (8536.69.4040)
• Both rated MSL 1 (Unlimited moisture sensitivity)

Operational Compatibility:

• Identical operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C)
• Matching socket configuration (3-position, round, TO-5)
• Equivalent mating contact finish (gold) and material (beryllium copper)
• Identical mounting and termination specifications

Availability Advantage:

• Active product status ensures continued procurement capability
• Higher inventory availability (1917 pcs vs. 930 pcs)
• Tube packaging provides standard handling and storage

The 917-43-103-41-005000 accommodates the functional requirements of the 8060-1G3 without design modification or performance compromise.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Mill-Max 917-43-103-41-005000 directly replace the TE Connectivity 8060-1G3 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical socket type, position count, mating contact finish, mounting method, and operating temperature range. The functional interface with TO-5 transistor packages is equivalent.

Q: What are the differences in contact material between these parts?

A: The 8060-1G3 uses beryllium copper for both mating and post contacts. The 917-43-103-41-005000 uses beryllium copper for mating contacts and brass alloy for post contacts. Both materials provide equivalent electrical performance within the specified operating parameters.

Q: How do the housing materials differ?

A: The 8060-1G3 uses polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). The 917-43-103-41-005000 uses polycyclohexylenedimethylene terephthalate (PCT) and polyester. Both materials meet the mechanical and thermal requirements for this socket application.

Q: What is the significance of the product status difference?

A: The 8060-1G3 is classified as obsolete, indicating discontinued manufacturing and limited future availability. The 917-43-103-41-005000 maintains active status, ensuring reliable long-term procurement and supply chain continuity.

Q: Are there compliance considerations for substitution?

A: Both components maintain RoHS compliance and carry identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications. The 917-43-103-41-005000 carries ROHS3 compliance, representing current regulatory alignment. No compliance barriers exist for substitution.

Q: Does packaging format affect electrical performance?

A: No. The 8060-1G3 is supplied in bulk packaging, while the 917-43-103-41-005000 is supplied in tube packaging. Packaging format does not affect electrical or mechanical performance; it addresses handling, storage, and logistics requirements only.

Q: What is the termination post length specification for the substitute?

A: The 917-43-103-41-005000 specifies a termination post length of 0.125" (3.18mm). This dimension accommodates standard through-hole PCB assembly processes and solder joint formation.
