Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 8060-1G9 are identified based on electrical and mechanical compatibility within the TO-5 transistor socket category. The following parameters determine substitution eligibility:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• Connector type: Transistor socket, TO-5 package
• Number of positions: 3 (Round)
• Contact finish on mating surface: Gold
• Contact material on mating surface: Beryllium copper
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 125°C
• Frame design: Closed frame
• Termination method: Solder

Secondary Considerations:

• Mounting configuration (panel mount vs. through hole)
• Contact finish on post termination
• Post contact material composition
• Housing material composition
• Product status and compliance certifications

Substitutes are grouped into two categories: direct panel mount equivalents and through-hole alternatives that maintain electrical compatibility while offering different mounting configurations.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Panel Mount Applications:

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 8058-1G29 serves as the direct panel mount equivalent to the obsolete 8060-1G9. Both components share identical mounting configuration, contact geometry, and operating specifications. The 8058-1G29 maintains active product status and carries RoHS Compliant certification, providing regulatory compliance for new designs and ongoing production. The primary difference lies in the post contact material, where the 8058-1G29 uses brass instead of beryllium copper; however, this substitution remains valid within the electrical and mechanical parameters of the TO-5 transistor socket category.

For Through-Hole Applications:

The Mill-Max Manufacturing Corp. 917-43-103-41-005000 provides an alternative for applications where through-hole mounting is preferred or required. This component maintains electrical compatibility through identical mating contact specifications (gold-plated beryllium copper) and operating temperature range. The 917-43-103-41-005000 is ROHS3 Compliant and carries active product status. The mounting configuration differs (through hole versus panel mount), and the post termination uses tin finish on brass alloy rather than gold on beryllium copper. This substitute is appropriate for designs that can accommodate through-hole mounting or for retrofit applications where PCB layout permits this configuration.

Compliance Considerations:

The 8060-1G9 carries "Not applicable" RoHS status due to its obsolete classification. Both substitute parts are RoHS-compliant, making them suitable for applications subject to RoHS regulations. All three components maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, indicating no special moisture control requirements during storage or handling.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 8058-1G29 directly replace the 8060-1G9 in existing designs?

A: Yes, for panel mount applications. The 8058-1G29 maintains identical mounting type, contact geometry (3-position round), mating contact specifications (gold-plated beryllium copper), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C). The post contact material differs (brass versus beryllium copper), but this does not affect electrical compatibility within the TO-5 transistor socket application.

Q: What is the primary difference between the 8058-1G29 and the 917-43-103-41-005000?

A: The primary difference is mounting configuration. The 8058-1G29 is panel mount, while the 917-43-103-41-005000 is through-hole. Additionally, the 917-43-103-41-005000 uses tin-plated brass alloy posts instead of gold-plated brass posts. Both maintain identical mating contact specifications and operating temperature range.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between the substitute parts?

A: The 8058-1G29 is RoHS Compliant, while the 917-43-103-41-005000 is ROHS3 Compliant. Both meet current regulatory requirements. The original 8060-1G9 carries "Not applicable" RoHS status due to obsolescence. All three components maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating.

Q: Which substitute should be selected for new production designs?

A: For new panel mount designs, the 8058-1G29 is the appropriate selection, offering active product status and RoHS compliance. For new through-hole designs, the 917-43-103-41-005000 provides equivalent electrical performance with ROHS3 compliance and active availability.

Q: Does the housing material difference between PTFE and PCT/Polyester affect compatibility?

A: Both housing materials are suitable for the operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C) and moisture sensitivity requirements (MSL 1). The material difference does not affect electrical compatibility or mechanical fit within the TO-5 transistor socket application. Selection between these materials depends on specific application environmental requirements and design constraints.

Q: What is the current availability status of these parts?

A: The 8060-1G9 is obsolete with 1070 pieces in stock. The 8058-1G29 is active with 839 pieces in stock. The 917-43-103-41-005000 is active with 1917 pieces in stock. Availability should be confirmed with the component supplier for production requirements.
