Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The MMS-130-01-L-DV from Samtec Inc. qualifies as a functional equivalent based on the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Both are 60-position receptacle connectors with female socket contacts
• Pitch Specification: Both maintain 0.079" (2.00mm) mating pitch with 2-row configuration and 0.079" row spacing
• Mounting & Termination: Both utilize through-hole solder termination with push-pull fastening
• Contact Finish: Both feature gold-plated mating contacts
• Electrical Performance: The substitute supports higher current capacity (3.9A per contact vs. 1A) and extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C vs. -40°C ~ 105°C), making it suitable for the original application envelope

The substitute maintains mechanical and electrical compatibility while offering enhanced performance specifications and active product status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MMS-130-01-L-DV is the recommended substitute for the obsolete 950460-6102-AR. Selection rationale:

• Product Lifecycle: The original part is obsolete; the substitute is active and maintains ongoing manufacturer support
• Regulatory Compliance: The substitute is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental standards
• Performance Enhancement: The substitute provides superior electrical performance (3.9A vs. 1A current capacity) and extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C vs. -40°C ~ 105°C), ensuring compatibility with the original application requirements
• Mechanical Compatibility: Identical pitch, row configuration, mounting type, and fastening mechanism ensure direct form-fit-function replacement
• Contact Interface: Both connectors feature gold-plated mating contacts with equivalent contact geometry (square shape), supporting reliable signal transmission

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Will the MMS-130-01-L-DV physically fit the existing mating connector?

A: Yes. Both connectors maintain identical 0.079" (2.00mm) pitch spacing, 2-row configuration with 0.079" row spacing, and push-pull fastening. The mating interface is mechanically compatible.

Q: Are there electrical performance differences between the two connectors?

A: The MMS-130-01-L-DV supports higher current capacity (3.9A per contact vs. 1A) and operates across a wider temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C vs. -40°C ~ 105°C). These enhancements are compatible with applications designed for the original 950460-6102-AR.

Q: What is the difference in contact material between the two parts?

A: The original uses copper alloy contacts; the substitute uses phosphor bronze. Both materials support gold plating and are suitable for the specified electrical and mechanical requirements.

Q: Does the insulation material change affect compatibility?

A: The substitute uses Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) insulation instead of thermoplastic. LCP provides enhanced dimensional stability and thermal performance, maintaining compatibility with the original application envelope.

Q: Is the substitute RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The MMS-130-01-L-DV is ROHS3 compliant, meeting current environmental regulations. The original part's RoHS status is not specified.

Q: What is the packaging difference?

A: The original part packaging is not specified; the substitute is supplied in bulk packaging.
