Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The ESW-108-39-S-S qualifies as a direct substitute for the ESW-108-14-S-S based on identical electrical and mechanical parameters. Both parts share the same base product number (ESW-108), connector type, position count, pitch, contact materials, plating specifications, current and voltage ratings, temperature range, and compliance certifications. The substitution is valid across all critical parameters that determine functional compatibility in board-to-board socket applications. The primary difference is packaging format: ESW-108-14-S-S uses standard packaging while ESW-108-39-S-S is supplied in tube packaging.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both ESW-108-14-S-S and ESW-108-39-S-S are active products with ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability certification. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging requirements and inventory availability. The ESW-108-39-S-S in tube packaging offers 823 pieces in stock compared to 649 pieces for the standard packaging variant. For applications requiring specific packaging formats for automated assembly or storage, the packaging difference is the only distinguishing factor. Both parts maintain identical electrical performance, thermal ratings, and mechanical compatibility in board-to-board socket applications.
