Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the EB41-S0K3060X is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Configuration: 60-position female card edge connector with dual edge configuration
• Electrical Interface: 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, 2-row layout, 30 positions per row
• Physical Compatibility: Card thickness acceptance range of 0.054" ~ 0.071" (1.37mm ~ 1.80mm)
• Termination Method: Wire wrap termination for PCB integration
• Contact Specifications: Phosphor bronze contacts with gold finish
• Environmental Rating: Operating temperature range -65°C ~ 125°C

The EB43-S0K3060X qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical alignment across all critical parameters. Differences in insulation material (Diallyl Phthalate vs. Polyester Thermoplastic) and connector color (Green vs. Black) do not affect functional compatibility, as both materials meet the same performance requirements for this connector class.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The EB43-S0K3060X is the appropriate substitute for the obsolete EB41-S0K3060X. Both components maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical interface parameters. The EB43-S0K3060X offers the additional advantage of active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability.

Both parts carry identical RoHS non-compliance status and MSL rating, indicating equivalent handling and storage requirements. The insulation material difference between the two parts does not impact functional performance in standard applications, as both materials provide equivalent dielectric properties and thermal stability within the specified operating range.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the EB43-S0K3060X directly replace the EB41-S0K3060X in existing designs?

A: Yes. The EB43-S0K3060X maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including pitch, position count, card thickness acceptance, contact material, and operating temperature range. No design modifications are required.

Q: What is the difference between the insulation materials used in these connectors?

A: The EB41-S0K3060X uses Diallyl Phthalate (DAP) glass-filled insulation, while the EB43-S0K3060X uses Polyester Thermoplastic glass-filled insulation. Both materials provide equivalent performance for this connector class and do not affect functional compatibility.

Q: Does the color difference between green and black affect compatibility?

A: No. Color is a cosmetic attribute and does not impact electrical or mechanical performance. Selection between green and black variants is based on application requirements or assembly documentation preferences.

Q: Why is the EB41-S0K3060X obsolete while the EB43-S0K3060X remains active?

A: Product status reflects manufacturer lifecycle decisions. The EB43-S0K3060X represents the current production variant within the EB4 series for this connector configuration. For new designs or ongoing support, the active EB43-S0K3060X is the recommended choice.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: Both parts share identical RoHS non-compliance status and MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited). No compliance advantages exist between the two variants.
