Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity 8060-1G7 with Mill-Max Manufacturing Corp. 917 series connectors is based on the following matching parameters:

Matching Electrical and Mechanical Criteria:

• Identical connector type: 3-position transistor socket for TO-5 packages
• Identical mounting method: Through-hole solder termination
• Identical mating contact finish: Gold-plated beryllium copper
• Identical operating temperature range: -55°C to 125°C
• Identical frame design: Closed frame configuration
• Identical moisture sensitivity level: MSL 1 (Unlimited)
• Identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications

Allowable Variations in Substitute Parts:

• Housing material: PCT/Polyester (Mill-Max) versus PTFE (TE Connectivity) - both materials provide equivalent mechanical and thermal performance for this application
• Contact post finish: Tin or Tin-Lead (Mill-Max) versus unspecified (TE Connectivity) - both finishes are compatible with solder termination
• Contact post material: Brass Alloy (Mill-Max) versus unspecified (TE Connectivity) - both materials provide equivalent electrical performance
• Termination post length: Varies between 0.090" and 0.125" - both lengths accommodate standard PCB through-hole spacing
• Packaging format: Tube packaging (Mill-Max) versus unspecified (TE Connectivity) - does not affect functional compatibility
• Current rating specification: 3 A (Mill-Max) - exceeds typical transistor socket requirements

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection - TE Connectivity 8060-1G7: Select this part when PTFE housing material is specified or required by design documentation. The part is active in production with RoHS compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating, suitable for standard industrial applications.

Substitute Selection - Mill-Max 917-43-103-41-005000: This substitute is functionally equivalent with PCT/Polyester housing material and tin-plated contact posts. The 0.125" (3.18mm) termination post length accommodates standard PCB through-hole spacing. ROHS3 compliance and active production status ensure supply continuity. Select this part when tin-plated post finish is acceptable or preferred.

Substitute Selection - Mill-Max 917-93-103-41-005000: This substitute is functionally equivalent with PCT/Polyester housing material and tin-lead plated contact posts. The 0.090" (2.29mm) termination post length suits applications with reduced PCB thickness or specific assembly requirements. ROHS3 compliance and active production status ensure supply continuity. Select this part when tin-lead plated post finish is acceptable or when shorter post length is required.

All three parts share identical electrical performance characteristics, operating temperature range, and compliance certifications. Selection between them depends on housing material preference, contact post finish specification, and termination post length requirements for PCB integration.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can Mill-Max 917-43-103-41-005000 and 917-93-103-41-005000 be used interchangeably with TE Connectivity 8060-1G7?

A: Yes, both Mill-Max parts are functionally equivalent substitutes. The primary difference is termination post length: 917-43 provides 0.125" posts while 917-93 provides 0.090" posts. Selection depends on PCB thickness and assembly requirements. Both maintain identical electrical performance and operating temperature range.

Q: What is the difference between the two Mill-Max substitute parts?

A: The 917-43-103-41-005000 and 917-93-103-41-005000 differ in two specifications: termination post length (0.125" versus 0.090") and contact post finish (tin versus tin-lead). Both parts are otherwise identical in electrical characteristics, mating contact finish, and housing material.

Q: Are there housing material differences between the main part and substitutes?

A: Yes. The TE Connectivity 8060-1G7 uses PTFE housing, while both Mill-Max substitutes use PCT/Polyester housing. Both materials provide equivalent mechanical strength and thermal performance across the -55°C to 125°C operating range and are suitable for through-hole solder assembly.

Q: Do all three parts meet RoHS requirements?

A: Yes. The TE Connectivity 8060-1G7 is RoHS Compliant, while both Mill-Max parts are ROHS3 Compliant. All three parts meet current RoHS standards and are suitable for applications requiring RoHS compliance.

Q: What is the significance of the contact post finish differences?

A: The TE Connectivity part does not specify post finish. Mill-Max 917-43 uses tin finish while 917-93 uses tin-lead finish. Both finishes are compatible with solder termination processes. Tin-lead finish (917-93) may be preferred in applications where lead-based solder is used, while tin finish (917-43) is suitable for lead-free solder applications.

Q: Are moisture sensitivity levels identical across all three parts?

A: Yes. All three parts have MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity concerns and no special storage or handling requirements.

Q: What determines which substitute part to select?

A: Selection is based on three factors: (1) termination post length requirement for PCB integration, (2) contact post finish compatibility with your solder process, and (3) housing material preference. All three parts deliver identical electrical performance and operating temperature range.
