Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the EB41-S0K306XF is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Electrical Compatibility: 60 positions, 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, dual row configuration, female gender, wire wrap termination
• Mechanical Compatibility: Card thickness 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 finish, cantilever contact type
• Environmental Specifications: Operating temperature range -65°C ~ 125°C, MSL 1 (Unlimited)

The EB43-S0K306XF meets all electrical and mechanical compatibility requirements. The primary differences are insulation material composition and product status (active vs. obsolete), neither of which affects functional interchangeability in applications designed for the EB41-S0K306XF.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The EB43-S0K306XF is the direct functional equivalent for the obsolete EB41-S0K306XF. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters: 60-position configuration, 0.100" pitch, dual row layout, wire wrap termination, and operating temperature range.

The EB43-S0K306XF offers the advantage of active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and manufacturing support. The insulation material differs (polyester thermoplastic vs. diallyl phthalate), but both are glass-filled compounds meeting the same mechanical and thermal requirements for this connector class.

Both parts carry identical RoHS non-compliance status and ECCN/HTSUS classifications, indicating no change in regulatory or trade considerations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the EB43-S0K306XF directly replace the EB41-S0K306XF in existing designs?

A: Yes. The EB43-S0K306XF maintains full electrical and mechanical compatibility. All contact specifications, pitch, position count, card thickness tolerance, and operating temperature range are identical. The connector will function identically in applications designed for the EB41-S0K306XF.

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

A: The EB41-S0K306XF uses diallyl phthalate (DAP) glass-filled insulation, while the EB43-S0K306XF uses polyester thermoplastic glass-filled insulation. Both materials provide equivalent mechanical strength and thermal performance within the specified operating range of -65°C to 125°C.

Q: Why is the EB41-S0K306XF listed as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the part is no longer in active production. The EB43-S0K306XF, with identical functional specifications, is the current active equivalent from Vishay Dale for this connector configuration.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between these parts?

A: Both parts share identical RoHS non-compliance status, ECCN (EAR99), and HTSUS (8536.69.4040) classifications. No change in regulatory or trade compliance occurs when substituting the EB43-S0K306XF for the EB41-S0K306XF.

Q: Does the color difference (green vs. black) affect functionality?

A: No. Color is a cosmetic identifier only and does not affect electrical or mechanical performance. The color difference reflects manufacturing variations between the obsolete and active versions.
