DIN-150CSC-PSL-TR Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The DIN-150CSC-PSL-TR is a 150-position DIN connector receptacle with female sockets, gold-plated contacts, and through-hole mounting. Manufactured by 3M under the DIN 41612 series, this component is classified as obsolete. Due to its discontinued status, identifying equivalent substitute parts is essential for system maintenance, repair, and new design implementations where DIN 41612 backplane connectivity is required.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the DIN-150CSC-PSL-TR is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

  • Connector Type & Position Count: Receptacle configuration with 150 positions is mandatory for mechanical and electrical compatibility
  • Pitch & Row Configuration: 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch with 3-row arrangement ensures PCB footprint compatibility
  • Style Designation: Style C classification maintains contact arrangement and keying compatibility
  • Mounting Method: Through-hole termination is required for existing PCB designs
  • Contact Finish: Gold plating ensures equivalent electrical performance and corrosion resistance
  • Operating Temperature: -55°C ~ 125°C range must be maintained for thermal environment compatibility
  • Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0 compliance is a baseline safety requirement

The substitute part 5650405-5 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors, Eurocard series) meets all critical substitution criteria across these parameters.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 5650405-5 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors) is a direct functional substitute for the obsolete DIN-150CSC-PSL-TR based on mechanical and electrical parameter equivalence. Both components share identical connector geometry, position count, pitch, row configuration, and operating specifications.

Key Considerations:

  • Termination Difference: The original part uses press-fit termination, while the substitute uses solder termination. PCB design and assembly processes must accommodate this difference.
  • RoHS Compliance: The substitute part is RoHS compliant, whereas the original is non-compliant. This is advantageous for new designs and regulatory adherence.
  • Product Status: The substitute is an active product with current manufacturing and inventory availability, eliminating obsolescence risk.
  • Series Designation: The original operates under DIN 41612 series specifications, while the substitute operates under Eurocard series specifications. Both maintain equivalent electrical and mechanical performance for the 150-position, 3-row, Style C configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5650405-5 be used as a direct replacement in existing assemblies designed for the DIN-150CSC-PSL-TR?

A: Mechanical and electrical compatibility is confirmed across all critical parameters. However, the termination method differs (solder vs. press-fit), requiring PCB rework or redesign depending on the existing assembly process.

Q: What is the significance of the series difference (DIN 41612 vs. Eurocard)?

A: Both series maintain equivalent specifications for 150-position, 3-row, Style C receptacles with 0.100" pitch. The series designation reflects manufacturing standards but does not affect functional compatibility for this connector class.

Q: Does the RoHS compliance difference affect substitution?

A: RoHS compliance of the substitute part is beneficial for regulatory adherence and future-proofing. The original non-compliant part may face sourcing restrictions in regulated markets.

Q: Are there any current availability advantages to using the substitute?

A: Yes. The 5650405-5 is an active product with 1490 units in stock, whereas the DIN-150CSC-PSL-TR is obsolete with limited remaining inventory. The substitute ensures long-term supply chain stability.

Q: What packaging format is available for the substitute part?

A: The 5650405-5 is supplied in bulk packaging, suitable for production assembly environments.
