ESS-112-G-23 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ESS-112-G-23 is a 12-position elevated socket connector manufactured by Samtec Inc., designed for board-to-board applications with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch through-hole mounting. This connector features gold-plated beryllium copper contacts and is rated for operating temperatures from -55°C to 125°C. The product is currently active and ROHS3 compliant. Substitute parts are identified when inventory constraints, lead time requirements, or procurement preferences necessitate alternative sourcing while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The ESS-112-G-03 qualifies as a direct substitute for the ESS-112-G-23 based on identical specifications across all critical parameters that determine functional compatibility. Both parts share the same base product number (ESS-112) and are differentiated only by packaging or inventory designation codes (-G-23 versus -G-03). Substitution is valid when the following parameters match exactly:

• 12-position configuration with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch
• Elevated socket connector type with female socket contacts
• Through-hole solder termination
• Gold contact finish with 10.0µin (0.25µm) thickness on both mating and post surfaces
• Liquid Crystal Polymer insulation material
• Operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C
• UL94 V-0 flammability rating
• ROHS3 compliance

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both ESS-112-G-23 and ESS-112-G-03 are active products from Samtec Inc. with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on inventory availability and procurement lead times. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability certification, ensuring regulatory requirements are met regardless of which variant is selected. The ESS-112-G-03 currently has higher inventory availability (1126 pcs versus 762 pcs), which may influence procurement decisions for high-volume applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ESS-112-G-03 be used as a direct replacement for ESS-112-G-23 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts are identical in all electrical and mechanical parameters, including connector type, contact configuration, pitch, termination method, and operating temperature range. No design modifications are required.

Q: What is the difference between ESS-112-G-23 and ESS-112-G-03?

A: The parts share the same base product number (ESS-112) and specifications. The suffix designations (-G-23 and -G-03) represent packaging or inventory lot codes and do not indicate functional differences.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both ESS-112-G-23 and ESS-112-G-03 are ROHS3 compliant and carry UL94 V-0 flammability certification.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for these connectors?

A: Both parts operate across -55°C to 125°C, suitable for industrial and commercial applications requiring wide temperature tolerance.

Q: Are the contact finishes identical between the two parts?

A: Yes. Both parts feature gold-plated contacts with 10.0µin (0.25µm) thickness on both mating and post surfaces, ensuring consistent electrical performance and corrosion resistance.
