Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The CES-118-01-G-D has one identified substitute part: CES-118-01-S-D. Substitution eligibility is determined by the following critical parameters that must remain constant:

• Connector type (Receptacle)
• Number of positions (36)
• Pitch spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Number of rows (2)
• Row spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Mounting type (Through Hole)
• Termination method (Solder)
• Fastening type (Push-Pull)
• Insulation material (Polybutylene Terephthalate)
• Contact shape (Square)
• Contact material (Phosphor Bronze)
• Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C)
• Flammability rating (UL94 V-0)
• Compliance certifications (ROHS3, REACH Unaffected)

Variations in packaging type and contact finish specifications do not affect functional interchangeability for board-to-board connector applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both CES-118-01-G-D and CES-118-01-S-D are active products with identical compliance certifications (ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected). Selection between these parts should be based on:

Packaging Requirements: CES-118-01-G-D is supplied in tube packaging, while CES-118-01-S-D is supplied in bulk packaging. Choose based on procurement and assembly process requirements.

Contact Finish Specifications: CES-118-01-G-D features gold plating on both mating and post contacts. CES-118-01-S-D features gold plating on mating contacts with tin plating on post contacts. The mating contact finish thickness differs (20.0µin vs. 30.0µin), with CES-118-01-S-D providing increased thickness. Both finishes are suitable for solder termination and board-to-board connectivity.

Both parts maintain identical mechanical and electrical interface specifications, ensuring functional interchangeability in 36-position, 0.100" pitch board-to-board connector applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are CES-118-01-G-D and CES-118-01-S-D mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mechanical specifications including position count (36), pitch spacing (0.100"), mounting type (through hole), and insulation dimensions. They are mechanically interchangeable in board-to-board applications.

Q: What is the difference between the contact finishes?

A: CES-118-01-G-D uses gold plating on both mating and post contacts. CES-118-01-S-D uses gold plating on mating contacts with tin plating on post contacts. The mating contact finish thickness also differs (20.0µin vs. 30.0µin). Both finishes are compatible with solder termination processes.

Q: Does packaging type affect connector performance?

A: No. Tube and bulk packaging are handling and storage formats only. They do not affect electrical or mechanical performance of the connector itself.

Q: Are both parts RoHS and REACH compliant?

A: Yes. Both CES-118-01-G-D and CES-118-01-S-D are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected.

Q: Can I use these connectors in high-temperature applications?

A: Both connectors are rated for operating temperatures from -55°C to 125°C and carry a UL94 V-0 flammability rating, making them suitable for industrial and demanding thermal environments within this range.

Q: Which part should I select for new designs?

A: Both parts are active products. Selection should be based on packaging availability, inventory requirements, and specific contact finish requirements for your application. Consult with your procurement team regarding lead times and stock levels.
