Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the EB41-S0C4460W is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Position Count & Configuration: 88 positions across 2 rows (44 positions per row)
• Pitch Specification: 0.100" (2.54mm) center-to-center spacing
• Card Edge Type: Dual edge, non-specified configuration
• Electrical Interface: Female gender with cantilever contact type
• Mechanical Compatibility: Card thickness acceptance range of 0.054" ~ 0.071" (1.37mm ~ 1.80mm)
• Contact Properties: Phosphor bronze material with gold finish
• Termination Method: Through-hole solder attachment
• Thermal Range: -65°C to 125°C operating envelope

The EB43-S0C4460W qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical alignment across all critical parameters. Variations in insulation material color and product status do not affect functional compatibility within the specified electrical and mechanical constraints.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The EB43-S0C4460W is a direct functional equivalent to the EB41-S0C4460W. Both connectors maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters including position count, pitch, card thickness tolerance, contact material, and operating temperature range.

The primary distinction is product lifecycle status: the EB41-S0C4460W is obsolete, while the EB43-S0C4460W is active. For new designs or ongoing production requiring 88-position dual-edge card connectors with 0.100" pitch, the EB43-S0C4460W provides continued availability and supply chain stability. Both parts carry identical RoHS non-compliance status and ECCN/HTSUS classifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the EB43-S0C4460W directly replace the EB41-S0C4460W in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. The EB43-S0C4460W maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Both connectors accept the same card thickness range (0.054" ~ 0.071"), feature identical 88-position dual-edge configuration with 0.100" pitch, and use phosphor bronze gold-plated cantilever contacts with through-hole solder termination.

Q: What is the difference between these two connectors?

A: The connectors differ in insulation material composition and color. The EB41-S0C4460W uses Diallyl Phthalate (DAP) with green color; the EB43-S0C4460W uses Polyester Thermoplastic with black color. These differences do not affect electrical performance or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Why is the EB41-S0C4460W obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence is determined by manufacturer lifecycle decisions. The EB43-S0C4460W remains in active production, providing a viable path for continued system support.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: Both parts carry identical RoHS non-compliance status, ECCN (EAR99), and HTSUS (8536.69.4040) classifications. Moisture Sensitivity Level is 1 (Unlimited) for both.

Q: What card thickness range do these connectors support?

A: Both the EB41-S0C4460W and EB43-S0C4460W accept printed circuit cards with thickness between 0.054" and 0.071" (1.37mm to 1.80mm).
