FH19SC-6S-0.5SH(32) Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The FH19SC-6S-0.5SH(32) is a 6-position FFC/FPC (Flat Flexible) connector manufactured by Hirose Electric Co Ltd, designed for flat flexible cable applications with 0.5mm pitch spacing. This connector is classified as obsolete and no longer in active production. Due to its obsolete status, identifying compatible substitute parts is essential for ongoing system maintenance, repair, and component sourcing. The FH19C-6S-0.5SH(10) serves as the manufacturer-recommended replacement, offering equivalent electrical and mechanical functionality with active product status and improved availability.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the FH19SC-6S-0.5SH(32) is determined by the following critical parameters that must remain constant:

• Number of Positions: 6 positions (electrical interface requirement)
• Pitch Specification: 0.020" (0.50mm) (mechanical and electrical compatibility)
• Manufacturer: Hirose Electric Co Ltd (design and quality consistency)
• Connector Category: FFC, FPC (Flat Flexible) Connectors (application class)

The FH19C-6S-0.5SH(10) meets all substitution criteria. Both connectors share identical position count, pitch spacing, and manufacturer origin. The primary distinction is product status: the FH19SC variant is obsolete, while the FH19C variant maintains active production status with significantly higher inventory availability (49,925 pcs vs. 960 pcs).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The FH19C-6S-0.5SH(10) is the appropriate substitute for the obsolete FH19SC-6S-0.5SH(32) based on the following engineering criteria:

Product Status Alignment: The substitute maintains active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity. The original part's obsolete classification creates sourcing risk for future requirements.

Electrical and Mechanical Equivalence: Both connectors maintain identical position count (6) and pitch specification (0.5mm), ensuring direct compatibility in existing PCB layouts and cable assemblies without design modification.

Compliance and Certification: The FH19C-6S-0.5SH(10) carries ROHS3 compliance certification, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing and distribution.

Inventory and Lead Time: The substitute part maintains substantially higher inventory levels (49,925 pcs), reducing procurement lead times and supply chain risk compared to the limited remaining stock of the obsolete variant.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the FH19C-6S-0.5SH(10) be used as a direct replacement for the FH19SC-6S-0.5SH(32)?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical electrical and mechanical specifications: 6 positions, 0.5mm pitch, and Hirose Electric Co Ltd manufacture. The connectors are mechanically and electrically interchangeable in existing applications.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two part numbers?

A: The FH19SC variant is obsolete and no longer manufactured. The FH19C variant is the active production equivalent with identical core specifications but improved availability and current compliance certifications.

Q: Does the packaging format affect compatibility?

A: Packaging format (Tape & Reel for the FH19C) affects procurement and handling procedures but does not impact electrical or mechanical compatibility. The connector itself remains functionally identical regardless of packaging configuration.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between the two parts?

A: The FH19C-6S-0.5SH(10) carries ROHS3 compliance certification. Compliance status for the obsolete FH19SC variant was not specified in available documentation. Current applications should utilize the ROHS3-compliant substitute to meet regulatory requirements.

Q: What is the voltage and current rating for these connectors?

A: The FH19C-6S-0.5SH(10) is rated for 50V maximum voltage and 0.5A maximum current per contact. These ratings apply to the substitute part used in place of the obsolete original.
