FH26-35S-0.3SHW(56) Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The FH26-35S-0.3SHW(56) is a 35-position FFC/FPC connector manufactured by Hirose Electric Co Ltd, designed for flat flexible cable applications with 0.3mm pitch spacing. This connector is classified as obsolete and is no longer in active production. Due to its obsolete status, sourcing original inventory becomes increasingly difficult. The FH26W-35S-0.3SHW(60) serves as the manufacturer-recommended substitute, offering equivalent electrical and mechanical compatibility with improved availability and active product support.

• Number of Positions: Both parts maintain 35 positions
• Pitch Specification: Both parts operate at 0.3mm (0.012") pitch
• Manufacturer: Both parts are manufactured by Hirose Electric Co Ltd
• Connector Type: Both are FPC (Flat Flexible Cable) connectors
• Series Compatibility: Both belong to the FH26 series family

The substitute part is actively produced and maintains full electrical and mechanical compatibility with the obsolete original part number.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The FH26W-35S-0.3SHW(60) is the appropriate selection for new designs and production applications. The original FH26-35S-0.3SHW(56) is obsolete and should not be specified for new projects. The substitute part maintains identical position count and pitch specifications, ensuring direct mechanical and electrical compatibility. The substitute part carries active product status with RoHS compliance certification and significantly higher inventory availability, supporting sustained production requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can FH26W-35S-0.3SHW(60) directly replace FH26-35S-0.3SHW(56) in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors maintain 35 positions at 0.3mm pitch and are manufactured by Hirose Electric Co Ltd. The electrical and mechanical specifications are equivalent for FPC connector applications.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: The FH26-35S-0.3SHW(56) is classified as obsolete. The FH26W-35S-0.3SHW(60) is the active production equivalent with superior inventory availability and ongoing manufacturer support.
