EB41-S0C184XF Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The EB41-S0C184XF is a 36-position female card edge connector manufactured by Vishay Dale, designed for dual edge applications with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing. This connector features gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts, through-hole solder termination, and operates across -65°C to 125°C. The part is currently obsolete, necessitating identification of functionally equivalent alternatives for ongoing system support and new designs.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the EB41-S0C184XF is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Electrical Compatibility: 36 positions, 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, dual edge configuration, female gender
• Mechanical Compatibility: Card thickness range 0.054" ~ 0.071" (1.37mm ~ 1.80mm), through-hole mounting, flush mount flange with 0.125" (3.18mm) diameter unthreaded opening
• Contact Specifications: Phosphor bronze material with gold plating, cantilever contact type
• Environmental Specifications: Operating temperature range -65°C ~ 125°C, MSL 1 (Unlimited)
• Termination Method: Solder termination

The EB43-S0C184XF meets all these criteria and qualifies as a direct substitute. The primary difference is insulation material composition and product status, neither of which affects functional compatibility in applications designed for the EB41-S0C184XF.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The EB43-S0C184XF is the direct functional equivalent of the EB41-S0C184XF for all applications requiring a 36-position, dual-edge, 0.100" pitch female card edge connector with gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts and through-hole solder termination.

Selection of the EB43-S0C184XF is supported by:

• Active Product Status: The substitute maintains active manufacturing status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity
• Identical Electrical and Mechanical Specifications: All critical parameters for connector function, mating, and board integration are equivalent
• Equivalent Environmental Performance: Both parts operate across the same temperature range and share identical MSL ratings
• Consistent Compliance Profile: Both parts carry identical RoHS non-compliance status and ECCN/HTSUS classifications

The insulation material difference (DAP versus polyester thermoplastic) does not affect functional compatibility, as both materials are glass-filled and rated for the same operating temperature range.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the EB43-S0C184XF directly replace the EB41-S0C184XF in existing designs?

A: Yes. The EB43-S0C184XF is electrically and mechanically equivalent. Both connectors feature identical 36-position, dual-edge configurations with 0.100" pitch, gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts, and through-hole solder termination. No design modifications are required.

Q: What is the difference between the EB41-S0C184XF and EB43-S0C184XF?

A: The primary differences are insulation material composition (DAP in EB41 versus polyester thermoplastic in EB43) and product status (obsolete versus active). Both materials are glass-filled and rated for identical operating temperatures. The color designation also differs (green versus black), reflecting the material change.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns with card thickness?

A: No. Both connectors accept cards with thickness between 0.054" and 0.071" (1.37mm to 1.80mm). Ensure your application card meets this specification for proper mating.

Q: What is the pitch specification, and why does it matter?

A: Both connectors feature 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, which defines the center-to-center spacing between contact positions. This specification must match your card edge design for proper alignment and electrical connection.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: No. Both the EB41-S0C184XF and EB43-S0C184XF are RoHS non-compliant. If RoHS compliance is required for your application, alternative connector families must be evaluated.

Q: What mounting method do these connectors use?

A: Both connectors use through-hole solder termination for permanent board mounting. The flush mount flange with top opening and unthreaded 0.125" (3.18mm) diameter opening provides mechanical alignment during assembly.
