Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 8060-1G4 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility Parameters:

• Type: Transistor, TO-5 socket configuration
• Number of Positions: 4 (Round)
• Contact Finish - Mating: Gold
• Contact Material - Mating: Beryllium Copper
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 125°C
• Termination Method: Solder

Mechanical Compatibility Parameters:

• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Features: Closed Frame
• Housing Material: Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) or equivalent polymer

The substitute parts identified (917-43-104-41-005000 and 917-93-104-41-005000) from Mill-Max Manufacturing Corp. satisfy all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Both substitutes maintain the same TO-5 socket configuration, 4-position round contact arrangement, gold mating contact finish with beryllium copper material, through-hole mounting, closed frame design, and identical operating temperature range. Differences in post contact finish material and housing polymer composition do not affect functional compatibility for transistor socket applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both Mill-Max Manufacturing Corp. substitute parts (917-43-104-41-005000 and 917-93-104-41-005000) are active products with current manufacturing status, providing supply continuity for applications currently using the obsolete 8060-1G4. Both substitutes maintain full compliance with ROHS3 standards and carry REACH Unaffected status, exceeding the RoHS Compliant rating of the original part.

The 917-43-104-41-005000 features tin post contact finish with brass alloy material and is suitable for applications where tin-based termination is acceptable. The 917-93-104-41-005000 features tin-lead post contact finish, providing compatibility with legacy solder processes and applications requiring tin-lead termination characteristics.

Both substitutes are packaged in tubes and maintain identical electrical performance across the -55°C to 125°C operating temperature range. The specified termination post length of 0.125" (3.18mm) and 3 A current rating provide defined mechanical and electrical parameters for PCB integration and circuit design.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Mill-Max 917-43-104-41-005000 and 917-93-104-41-005000 be used interchangeably with the TE Connectivity 8060-1G4?

A: Both Mill-Max parts are functionally equivalent to the 8060-1G4 for TO-5 transistor socket applications. The primary difference is post contact finish: 917-43-104-41-005000 uses tin finish, while 917-93-104-41-005000 uses tin-lead finish. Selection depends on solder process compatibility and termination requirements.

Q: What is the significance of the different post contact materials between the main part and substitutes?

A: The 8060-1G4 uses beryllium copper posts with gold finish, while both Mill-Max substitutes use brass alloy posts. Brass alloy provides equivalent electrical conductivity and solder joint reliability for through-hole applications. The post contact finish (tin or tin-lead) determines compatibility with specific PCB assembly processes.

Q: Are the housing material differences between PTFE and PCT/Polyester significant?

A: Both PTFE and PCT/Polyester housing materials are suitable for TO-5 socket applications within the specified -55°C to 125°C operating range. PCT/Polyester provides equivalent mechanical stability and electrical insulation properties for this component category.

Q: What does the termination post length of 0.125" (3.18mm) indicate?

A: This dimension specifies the length of the solder post extending from the socket housing. This measurement is critical for PCB design, determining the depth of insertion into through-hole vias and ensuring proper solder joint formation during wave or reflow soldering processes.

Q: How do the RoHS compliance levels differ between the main part and substitutes?

A: The 8060-1G4 is RoHS Compliant (RoHS 2), while both Mill-Max substitutes are ROHS3 Compliant (RoHS 3). ROHS3 represents an updated compliance standard with additional restricted substance requirements, making the substitutes suitable for applications requiring current regulatory compliance.

Q: What is the significance of MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating?

A: MSL 1 indicates the component has unlimited shelf life and requires no special moisture control during storage or handling. This rating applies to all three parts and simplifies inventory management and component procurement.

Q: Are there any packaging differences that affect component handling?

A: The 8060-1G4 packaging is not specified, while both Mill-Max substitutes are supplied in tube packaging. Tube packaging is standard for through-hole socket components and facilitates automated assembly processes.
