EB41-S0C286XF Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The EB41-S0C286XF is a 56-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, making identification of compatible substitute components essential for ongoing system support and new design implementations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the EB41-S0C286XF is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Configuration: Card edge dual female connector with identical 56-position count and 2-row arrangement
• Electrical Interface: 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing and dual read-out configuration
• Mechanical Compatibility: Card thickness acceptance range of 0.054" ~ 0.071" (1.37mm ~ 1.80mm) with flush mount, top opening flange design
• Contact Specifications: Phosphor bronze material with gold plating and cantilever contact type
• Termination & Mounting: Through-hole solder termination for PCB integration
• Environmental Rating: Operating temperature range of -65°C ~ 125°C

The EB43-S0C286XF meets all these criteria and qualifies as a direct functional equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The EB43-S0C286XF is the direct substitute for the obsolete EB41-S0C286XF. Both connectors share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters: 56-position dual edge configuration, 0.100" pitch, phosphor bronze gold-plated contacts, through-hole solder termination, and -65°C to 125°C operating range.

The primary distinction is product status: the EB41-S0C286XF is obsolete, while the EB43-S0C286XF is active and currently in production. Secondary differences include insulation material composition (DAP versus polyester thermoplastic) and connector color (green versus black), neither of which affects functional compatibility or electrical performance.

For new designs or system replacements, the EB43-S0C286XF is the appropriate selection due to active manufacturing status and assured supply chain availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the EB41-S0C286XF and EB43-S0C286XF mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors feature identical card thickness acceptance (0.054" ~ 0.071"), flush mount flange design with 0.125" diameter unthreaded holes, and dual edge configuration. They mount identically on PCBs with through-hole solder termination.

Q: Do the different insulation materials affect electrical performance?

A: No. Both Diallyl Phthalate (DAP) and polyester thermoplastic insulation materials meet the same electrical and thermal specifications for this connector class. The material difference does not impact contact resistance, signal integrity, or operating temperature range.

Q: Can the EB43-S0C286XF be used as a direct replacement in existing assemblies designed for the EB41-S0C286XF?

A: Yes. The EB43-S0C286XF is a direct functional equivalent with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. No design modifications are required.

Q: What is the significance of the color difference between the two connectors?

A: Color is a cosmetic distinction only and does not affect electrical or mechanical function. The green (EB41-S0C286XF) and black (EB43-S0C286XF) variants are functionally equivalent.

Q: Why is the EB41-S0C286XF listed as obsolete?

A: Obsolescence indicates the part is no longer in active production. The EB43-S0C286XF serves as the current production equivalent and is recommended for all new applications and replacements.
