Engineering Selection Recommendations

All five substitute parts (PBC36SAAN, PBC36SABN, PEC36SAAN, PEC36SABN, PGC36SAAN) maintain active product status and achieve ROHS3 compliance, addressing the obsolescence and regulatory limitations of the original 92020-436H component.

Selection by Application Requirements:

PEC36SAAN provides the closest electrical match to the original part, maintaining tin contact finish with 100.0µin (2.54µm) thickness identical to the main part specification. This variant offers ROHS3 compliance with active availability and is suitable for applications requiring tin-plated contact surfaces.

PBC36SAAN offers gold-plated mating contacts with reduced thickness (10.0µin / 0.25µm) and shorter post length (0.120" / 3.05mm), providing enhanced corrosion resistance while maintaining functional compatibility. This configuration is appropriate for applications prioritizing contact reliability in variable environmental conditions.

PBC36SABN extends the post length to 0.230" (5.84mm), matching the mating contact length, and is suitable for applications requiring extended engagement depth or thicker PCB assemblies.

PEC36SABN combines tin finish with extended post length (0.230" / 5.84mm), providing a tin-plated alternative with increased engagement capability.

PGC36SAAN features gold-plated contacts on both mating and post surfaces with copper alloy construction, offering superior corrosion resistance and is appropriate for high-reliability applications or environments with extended storage periods.

All substitute parts carry UL94 V-0 flammability certification and maintain the critical 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch and 36-position configuration required for direct PCB footprint compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 92020-436H be directly replaced with any of the substitute parts?

A: Yes. All five substitute parts (PBC36SAAN, PBC36SABN, PEC36SAAN, PEC36SABN, PGC36SAAN) share identical pitch spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm), position count (36), row configuration (1), and mounting footprint. They are functionally equivalent for board-to-board through-hole applications and will fit existing PCB designs without layout modification.

Q: What is the primary difference between the substitute options?

A: The substitute parts differ in contact finish material (tin or gold), contact finish thickness, contact length specifications, and insulation material composition. These variations do not affect mechanical compatibility but influence contact durability, corrosion resistance, and engagement depth characteristics.

Q: Why do the substitute parts have longer overall contact lengths than the original?

A: The substitute parts feature extended mating contact lengths (0.230" / 5.84mm versus 0.178" / 4.52mm) and variable post lengths. These dimensional changes provide improved contact engagement and are compatible with standard PCB through-hole designs. The increased overall length does not create mechanical interference in typical board-to-board configurations.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. All five substitute parts achieve ROHS3 compliance, addressing the RoHS non-compliant status of the original 92020-436H. This compliance is mandatory for applications subject to RoHS regulations.

Q: Which substitute part should be selected for maximum corrosion resistance?

A: PGC36SAAN provides the highest corrosion resistance through dual gold plating on both mating and post contacts. PBC36SAAN and PBC36SABN offer intermediate corrosion resistance with gold-plated mating surfaces. PEC36SAAN and PEC36SABN maintain tin plating consistent with the original part specification.

Q: Do the substitute parts support breakaway functionality?

A: PBC36SAAN, PBC36SABN, PEC36SAAN, and PEC36SABN are designated as Header, Breakaway types, enabling individual position separation if required. PGC36SAAN is designated as Header type without breakaway capability. Both configurations maintain full compatibility with standard board-to-board applications.

Q: What is the current rating for the substitute parts?

A: All substitute parts are rated for 3A continuous current, providing adequate capacity for standard signal and low-power distribution applications. The original part specification did not include a current rating.

Q: Are there any thermal operating range differences?

A: The substitute parts specify operating temperature range of -65°C to 125°C. The original part did not include temperature specifications. This defined range ensures reliable operation across industrial and commercial temperature environments.
