C9108-00 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The C9108-00 is an 8-position DIP socket manufactured by Aries Electronics, designed for through-hole mounting applications requiring gold-plated contacts and wire wrap termination. This component belongs to the Edge-Grip™ series and features a 0.3" (7.62mm) row spacing configuration with phosphor bronze contact materials.

The C9108-00 is classified as obsolete. Identifying equivalent substitute parts is necessary to maintain design continuity, ensure supply chain availability, and support ongoing production or repair requirements for systems utilizing this socket configuration.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the C9108-00 are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical compatibility criteria. The following parameters must align for functional equivalence:

8-position DIP socket configuration (2 x 4 arrangement)
0.3" (7.62mm) row spacing
0.100" (2.54mm) pitch for both mating and post contacts
Through-hole mounting capability
Wire wrap termination support
Gold contact finish on mating side
UL94 V-0 flammability rating
ROHS3 compliance

The AR 08-HZW/TN from Assmann WSW Components meets these core mechanical and electrical requirements, enabling direct substitution in applications where the C9108-00 was originally specified.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The AR 08-HZW/TN is a suitable substitute for the C9108-00 based on the following engineering criteria:

Mechanical Compatibility: Both parts share identical DIP socket geometry, row spacing, and pitch specifications, ensuring direct physical compatibility with existing PCB layouts and IC packages.

Electrical Equivalence: Both components provide gold-plated mating contacts, wire wrap termination, and UL94 V-0 flammability certification, meeting the electrical and safety requirements of the original design.

Regulatory Compliance: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, satisfying current environmental and regulatory standards.

Supply Availability: The AR 08-HZW/TN is classified as active product status with documented inventory availability, addressing the obsolescence of the C9108-00.

Performance Considerations: The AR 08-HZW/TN provides a higher current rating (3 A versus 1.5 A) and contact resistance specification (4 mOhm), offering enhanced electrical performance. The operating temperature range of the AR 08-HZW/TN (-40°C ~ 105°C) is narrower than the C9108-00 (-55°C ~ 125°C); applications requiring the full temperature range of the original part must be evaluated against actual system requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the AR 08-HZW/TN be used as a direct replacement for the C9108-00?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical mechanical dimensions, pitch specifications, and mounting configuration. The AR 08-HZW/TN meets all core electrical requirements for DIP socket functionality in wire wrap applications.

Q: What are the key differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are product status (C9108-00 is obsolete; AR 08-HZW/TN is active), operating temperature range (C9108-00: -55°C ~ 125°C; AR 08-HZW/TN: -40°C ~ 105°C), current rating (C9108-00: 1.5 A; AR 08-HZW/TN: 3 A), and contact material composition (C9108-00: phosphor bronze; AR 08-HZW/TN: beryllium copper).

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The C9108-00 packaging specification is not provided. The AR 08-HZW/TN is supplied in tube packaging. Verify packaging requirements for your procurement and assembly processes.

Q: Do both parts meet current regulatory standards?

A: Yes. Both the C9108-00 and AR 08-HZW/TN are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.

Q: What should I consider when selecting between these parts?

A: Evaluate your application's operating temperature requirements against the specified ranges. If your system operates within -40°C ~ 105°C, the AR 08-HZW/TN is fully compatible. If extended temperature operation below -40°C or above 105°C is required, consult additional equivalent options or verify the C9108-00 specifications with your design requirements.
