Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The EX80-54P(30) has one identified substitute: EX80-54P(70). This substitution is valid based on the following critical parameters that remain constant across both parts:

• Connector type: Plug with outer shroud contacts
• Position count: 54 positions
• Contact pitch: 0.024" (0.60mm)
• Row configuration: 2 rows
• Mounting technology: Surface mount
• Height above board: 0.594" (15.10mm)
• Contact material: Gold plating
• Board guide feature: Present
• Moisture sensitivity: MSL 1 (Unlimited)

The primary distinction between these parts is product status: EX80-54P(30) is obsolete, while EX80-54P(70) is active production. The packaging format differs (EX80-54P(70) is supplied in trays), and contact finish thickness specification is provided for the active variant.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For applications currently using EX80-54P(30), transition to EX80-54P(70) is the direct equivalent. The active product status of EX80-54P(70) ensures ongoing availability and manufacturing support. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications for connector interface, position count, pitch, and mounting configuration.

EX80-54P(70) carries ROHS3 compliance, representing current regulatory alignment. The specified contact finish thickness of 20.0µin (0.51µm) on the active variant provides documented durability characteristics. Both parts maintain MSL 1 rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity constraints during storage and handling.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can EX80-54P(70) be used as a direct replacement for EX80-54P(30)?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical connector type, position count, pitch, row configuration, mounting type, height above board, contact material, and board guide feature. The electrical and mechanical interfaces are fully compatible.

Q: What is the significance of the different part number suffixes (30 vs. 70)?

A: The suffix designates the packaging format and product generation. EX80-54P(30) is obsolete; EX80-54P(70) is the active production equivalent supplied in tray packaging.

Q: Are there RoHS compliance differences between these parts?

A: EX80-54P(30) is RoHS Compliant; EX80-54P(70) is ROHS3 Compliant. Both meet lead-free requirements. ROHS3 represents the current regulatory standard.

Q: Does the contact finish thickness difference affect compatibility?

A: No. The 20.0µin (0.51µm) gold plating thickness specified for EX80-54P(70) is a manufacturing specification that does not alter electrical or mechanical interface compatibility.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity rating, and does it affect storage?

A: Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity. Standard storage conditions apply without special desiccant or humidity control requirements.

Q: Is the board guide feature present on both parts?

A: Yes. Both EX80-54P(30) and EX80-54P(70) include the board guide feature for mechanical alignment during assembly.
