Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the EB41-S0C3060X is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Electrical Compatibility: Number of positions (60), gender (female), pitch (0.100"), contact material (phosphor bronze), contact finish (gold), and operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 125°C)
• Mechanical Compatibility: Card type (dual edge), number of rows (2), card thickness tolerance (0.054" ~ 0.071"), mounting type (through hole), and termination method (solder)
• Physical Compatibility: Flange feature (top mount opening, unthreaded, 0.125" dia)

The EB43-S0C3060X qualifies as a direct substitute based on full alignment with these parameters. Variations in insulation material and color do not affect functional substitution capability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The EB43-S0C3060X is a direct functional equivalent to the EB41-S0C3060X. Both connectors maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters including position count, pitch, contact material, finish, operating temperature range, and mounting configuration.

The primary distinction is product status: the EB41-S0C3060X is obsolete, while the EB43-S0C3060X is active and currently available in inventory (796 pcs). The insulation material differs (DAP versus polyester thermoplastic), and the connector color varies (green versus black); however, these differences do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Both parts carry identical RoHS non-compliance status and MSL rating. Selection between these parts should be based on availability and inventory requirements, with the EB43-S0C3060X recommended for new designs and ongoing production due to its active status.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the EB43-S0C3060X directly replace the EB41-S0C3060X in existing applications?

A: Yes. The EB43-S0C3060X is electrically and mechanically equivalent. All critical parameters—position count, pitch, contact material, finish, operating temperature, and mounting type—are identical. The connector will function identically in the same circuit and mechanical assembly.

Q: Does the difference in insulation material (DAP versus polyester thermoplastic) affect performance?

A: No. Both materials are glass-filled and rated for the same operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 125°C) and moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1). The insulation material difference does not impact electrical or mechanical performance in standard applications.

Q: Does the color difference (green versus black) have any functional significance?

A: No. Color is a cosmetic attribute and does not affect electrical or mechanical function. Selection can be based on visual identification requirements or design preferences.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: Both parts carry identical RoHS non-compliance status and MSL rating. No compliance advantage exists between the two options.

Q: Why is the EB41-S0C3060X obsolete while the EB43-S0C3060X is active?

A: Product status reflects manufacturer lifecycle decisions. The EB43-S0C3060X represents the current active offering in the EB4 series for this connector configuration. For new designs and ongoing production, the active part is the recommended choice.

Q: What inventory considerations should guide part selection?

A: The EB41-S0C3060X has 869 pcs available, while the EB43-S0C3060X has 796 pcs available. Both are in stock. Selection should prioritize the active part (EB43-S0C3060X) for new applications and future availability assurance.
