Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The DX10A-68SW1(50) has one manufacturer-recommended substitute: DX10A-68S(50). This substitution is valid based on the following matching parameters:

• Number of positions: 68
• Number of rows: 2
• Connector type: Receptacle
• Connector style: Outer shroud contacts
• Type: Miniature high-density (HD)
• Mounting type: Panel mount, through-hole, right-angle
• Termination: Solder
• Flange feature: Mating side, female screwlock (M2.6)
• Contact finish: Gold
• RoHS compliance: RoHS compliant
• Moisture sensitivity level: 1 (Unlimited)

The substitute part differs in product status (active versus obsolete) and packaging format, but maintains electrical and mechanical compatibility for direct replacement applications.

Parameter Comparison

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 DX10A-68SW1(50) is obsolete, while DX10A-68S(50) is active.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.
