Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the FC1-10-L2-T-WT is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Position Count & Pitch: 10 positions at 0.039" (1.00mm) spacing
• Mounting Configuration: Surface mount, right-angle orientation
• Contact Architecture: Top and bottom contact surfaces
• Electrical Performance: 2A per contact current rating
• Termination Method: Solder attachment
• Material Specifications: Phosphor bronze contacts with tin finish; LCP housing
• Environmental Compliance: ROHS3 compliance and MSL Level 1 rating
• Operating Range: -55°C to 105°C temperature specification

The substitute part FC1-10-L2-T meets all these criteria and is therefore classified as a parametric equivalent. Both parts share the same base product number (FC1-10) and differ only in packaging designation suffix, indicating they are functionally and mechanically interchangeable within the specified application parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both FC1-10-L2-T-WT and FC1-10-L2-T are active production parts with identical ROHS3 compliance and MSL Level 1 certification. The parts are functionally equivalent across all specified electrical, mechanical, and environmental parameters. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging availability and procurement lead times, as both meet identical compliance and performance requirements. Current inventory levels show FC1-10-L2-T at 890 pieces and FC1-10-L2-T-WT at 775 pieces, providing flexibility for supply chain optimization.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are FC1-10-L2-T-WT and FC1-10-L2-T mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts feature identical mounting configurations (surface mount, right-angle), contact architecture (top and bottom surfaces), and pitch spacing (0.039" / 1.00mm). They are mechanically interchangeable in all applications designed for the FC1-10 series.
