EB41-S0C306XF Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The EB41-S0C306XF is a 60-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 substitutes essential for ongoing system support and maintenance applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the EB41-S0C306XF is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Electrical Compatibility: 60-position configuration, 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, dual edge read-out, female gender
• Mechanical Compatibility: Card thickness acceptance range 0.054" ~ 0.071" (1.37mm ~ 1.80mm), through-hole mounting, flush mount flange with top opening
• Contact Specifications: Phosphor bronze material with gold plating, cantilever contact type
• Thermal Performance: Operating temperature range -65°C ~ 125°C
• Termination Method: Solder termination

The EB43-S0C306XF meets all substitution criteria, with the primary difference being insulation material composition and connector color, neither of which affects electrical or mechanical function within the specified parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The EB43-S0C306XF is a direct functional substitute for the obsolete EB41-S0C306XF. Both connectors maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters: 60-position configuration, 0.100" pitch, dual edge female connector, phosphor bronze gold-plated contacts, and -65°C to 125°C operating range.

The EB43-S0C306XF offers the advantage of active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability. The insulation material difference (Polyester Thermoplastic versus Diallyl Phthalate) and connector color variation do not impact functional compatibility within the specified electrical and thermal operating envelope.

Both parts maintain identical RoHS non-compliance status and MSL rating, with no compliance advantage between the two options.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the EB43-S0C306XF directly replace the EB41-S0C306XF in existing applications?

A: Yes. The EB43-S0C306XF maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all functional parameters: 60 positions, 0.100" pitch, dual edge configuration, female gender, card thickness acceptance, contact material and finish, mounting type, termination method, and operating temperature range.

Q: What is the difference between the EB41-S0C306XF and EB43-S0C306XF?

A: The primary differences are insulation material composition (Diallyl Phthalate in EB41 versus Polyester Thermoplastic in EB43) and connector color (Green versus Black). These differences do not affect electrical performance or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Why is the EB41-S0C306XF listed as obsolete?

A: The EB41-S0C306XF has been discontinued by the manufacturer. The EB43-S0C306XF is the active equivalent part available for new designs and ongoing supply requirements.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns with card thickness when substituting?

A: No. Both connectors accept identical card thickness ranges of 0.054" to 0.071" (1.37mm to 1.80mm), ensuring mechanical compatibility with the same PCB specifications.

Q: Do both parts have the same contact specifications?

A: Yes. Both use phosphor bronze contacts with gold plating and cantilever contact type, providing identical electrical performance and signal integrity characteristics.
