FH19SC-5S-0.5SH(05) Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The FH19SC-5S-0.5SH(05) is a 5-position FFC/FPC connector manufactured by Hirose Electric Co Ltd, designed for surface mount, right-angle applications with 0.5mm pitch contacts. This connector features a flip lock mechanism, zero insertion force (ZIF) operation, and solder termination for flat flexible cable assemblies.

The FH19SC-5S-0.5SH(05) is classified as obsolete. Identifying equivalent substitute parts is necessary to maintain design continuity, ensure supply chain availability, and support ongoing production or maintenance requirements for systems utilizing this connector.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for FFC/FPC connectors is determined by strict alignment of electrical and mechanical parameters. The following criteria establish compatibility:

Critical Parameters for Substitution:

• Number of positions: 5
• Pitch: 0.020" (0.50mm)
• Mounting type: Surface mount, right angle
• Connector/contact type: Contacts, bottom
• Voltage rating: 50V
• Current rating: 0.5A
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 85°C
• Locking feature: Flip lock
• Features: Solder retention, zero insertion force (ZIF)
• Termination: Solder

The substitute part FH19C-5S-0.5SH(10) meets all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Variations in FFC/FCB thickness, height above board, actuator color, and packaging format do not affect functional compatibility when these core parameters remain constant.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The FH19C-5S-0.5SH(10) is the designated manufacturer substitute for the obsolete FH19SC-5S-0.5SH(05). Both connectors share identical electrical ratings, mechanical dimensions for critical interfaces, and functional features.

The FH19C-5S-0.5SH(10) offers the advantage of active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and manufacturing support. This part is RoHS compliant, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component procurement.

Minor dimensional variations exist: the FH19C series features reduced FFC/FCB thickness (0.20mm versus 0.30mm) and slightly lower height above board (0.88mm versus 0.95mm). These variations do not affect electrical performance or connector interface compatibility. Actuator color differs (brown versus black) but does not impact functional operation.

The FH19C-5S-0.5SH(10) is supplied in Tape & Reel packaging, standard for production environments, whereas the FH19SC-5S-0.5SH(05) was supplied in bulk packaging.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can FH19C-5S-0.5SH(10) directly replace FH19SC-5S-0.5SH(05) in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors maintain identical electrical ratings (50V, 0.5A), operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 85°C), and mechanical interface specifications for the 5-position, 0.5mm pitch configuration. The connector footprint and mating interface are compatible.

Q: What are the differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are product status (obsolete versus active), FFC/FCB thickness (0.30mm versus 0.20mm), height above board (0.95mm versus 0.88mm), actuator color (black versus brown), packaging format (bulk versus tape & reel), and RoHS compliance status. These differences do not affect electrical or functional compatibility.

Q: Does the reduced FFC/FCB thickness of the FH19C series affect compatibility?

A: No. The FFC/FCB thickness parameter relates to the flat flexible cable specification, not the connector interface. Both parts accommodate the same cable pitch and contact configuration.

Q: Is the FH19C-5S-0.5SH(10) RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The FH19C-5S-0.5SH(10) is RoHS compliant, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component procurement in regulated markets.

Q: What packaging options are available for the substitute part?

A: The FH19C-5S-0.5SH(10) is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, standard for automated assembly and production environments.

Q: Are there any other substitute options for the FH19SC-5S-0.5SH(05)?

A: Based on the provided data, FH19C-5S-0.5SH(10) is the designated manufacturer substitute. The FH19C series represents the active product line replacement for the obsolete FH19SC series.
