FI-SE30P-HFE Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The FI-SE30P-HFE is a rectangular connector header manufactured by JAE Electronics, designed for surface mount, right-angle applications with 30 positions at 1.25mm pitch. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of suitable substitutes essential for ongoing production and maintenance applications. The part functions as a board-to-cable/wire connector with shrouded design and friction lock fastening, suitable for applications requiring 1A per contact at 200V operating conditions.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the FI-SE30P-HFE is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Pitch and Position Count: 0.049" (1.25mm) pitch with 30 positions in single row configuration
• Connector Type and Contact Type: Receptacle with male pin contacts
• Mounting Configuration: Surface mount, right-angle orientation
• Electrical Ratings: 1A per contact at 200V minimum
• Termination Method: Solder termination
• Fastening Mechanism: Friction lock
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to 80°C
• Material Compliance: UL94 V-0 flammability rating

The FI-S30P-HFE qualifies as a direct substitute based on matching all critical parameters within the allowed tolerance range for this connector category.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The FI-S30P-HFE is a qualified substitute for the FI-SE30P-HFE based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. The substitute part maintains all critical specifications including pitch, position count, contact ratings, operating temperature range, and material compliance standards.

The primary distinction between the parts is product status: the FI-SE30P-HFE is obsolete while the FI-S30P-HFE is active. The FI-S30P-HFE offers additional compliance certifications (RoHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected) and improved inventory availability (1242 units versus 878 units). The insulation height differential (0.083" versus 0.071") and the absence of shielding in the substitute part are secondary design variations that do not affect substitution eligibility when the application does not require these specific features.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can FI-S30P-HFE directly replace FI-SE30P-HFE in existing designs?

A: Yes, the FI-S30P-HFE meets all critical electrical and mechanical parameters required for substitution. Both parts share identical pitch (1.25mm), position count (30), contact ratings (1A at 200V), operating temperature range (-40°C to 80°C), and termination method (solder). The parts are mechanically and electrically compatible for board-to-cable/wire applications.

Q: What is the significance of the insulation height difference?

A: The FI-SE30P-HFE has an insulation height of 0.083" (2.10mm) while the FI-S30P-HFE measures 0.071" (1.80mm). This dimensional variation affects PCB layout and mating clearance. Verify that your application accommodates the reduced height of the substitute part before implementation.

Q: Does the absence of shielding in FI-S30P-HFE affect compatibility?

A: The FI-SE30P-HFE includes shielding as a feature, while the FI-S30P-HFE does not. If electromagnetic shielding is required for your application, this difference must be evaluated. For applications without shielding requirements, this distinction does not impact substitution.

Q: What packaging differences exist between these parts?

A: The FI-SE30P-HFE is supplied without specified packaging, while the FI-S30P-HFE is packaged in trays. Verify that tray packaging is compatible with your assembly and handling processes.

Q: Why is the FI-SE30P-HFE marked as obsolete?

A: The FI-SE30P-HFE carries an obsolete product status, indicating it is no longer in active production. The FI-S30P-HFE, as an active product from the same manufacturer and series, represents the current production equivalent and is recommended for new designs and ongoing procurement.
