DX10A-68SW1(50) Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The DX10A-68SW1(50) is a 68-position receptacle connector from Hirose Electric Co Ltd, classified as a miniature high-density D-Sub connector. This component features panel mount, through-hole, right-angle solder termination with a mating-side female screwlock (M2.6) and latchblocks. The part is currently obsolete, with 705 units available in new original stock. Due to its obsolete status, identifying active equivalent parts is essential for ongoing design support and procurement continuity.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The DX10A-68S(50) is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete DX10A-68SW1(50). Selection of the substitute part is supported by:

  • Active product status ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity
  • Identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters
  • RoHS compliance maintained in both parts
  • Equivalent moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1)
  • Consistent contact finish and termination method

The substitute part is suitable for direct replacement in applications currently using the DX10A-68SW1(50).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can DX10A-68S(50) directly replace DX10A-68SW1(50)?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including 68-position configuration, miniature high-density type, panel mount through-hole right-angle solder termination, and mating-side female screwlock (M2.6) flange feature. The substitute is the manufacturer-recommended replacement.

Q: What is the difference between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are product status and packaging. DX10A-68SW1(50) is obsolete, while DX10A-68S(50) is active. DX10A-68S(50) is packaged in trays. Contact finish thickness is specified for the substitute part (7.87µin / 0.200µm) but not documented for the original part.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences?

A: No. Both parts are RoHS compliant with identical moisture sensitivity levels (MSL 1, Unlimited). Both carry the same ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4040) classifications.

Q: What should I consider when transitioning from DX10A-68SW1(50) to DX10A-68S(50)?

A: Verify packaging requirements for your assembly process, as the substitute uses tray packaging. Confirm that the specified contact finish thickness (7.87µin / 0.200µm) for the substitute meets your application requirements. Both parts maintain identical form, fit, and function for solder termination and panel mounting.
