FI-X30H Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The FI-X30H is a 30-position rectangular connector housing manufactured by JAE Electronics, designed for crimp contact termination with a 1.00mm pitch. This plug housing is part of the FI-X series and features a single-row configuration suitable for free-hanging in-line applications. The FI-X30H is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for ongoing design support and procurement continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the FI-X30H is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Plug housing with male pin contacts
• Position Count & Pitch: 30 positions at 1.00mm pitch
• Row Configuration: Single-row layout
• Termination Method: Crimp contact termination
• Mounting Style: Free-hanging in-line configuration
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to 80°C
• Environmental Compliance: RoHS compliance and MSL rating

The FI-X30HL qualifies as a direct substitute based on matching all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary distinction is the addition of a latch lock fastening mechanism and a change in insulation material from glass-filled polyamide to thermoplastic, both of which are compatible with the original application requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The FI-X30HL is the direct substitute for the obsolete FI-X30H. Both components maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters: 30-position, 1.00mm pitch, single-row plug housing with crimp termination and free-hanging in-line mounting.

The FI-X30HL offers the advantage of active product status, ensuring continued availability and manufacturing support. The component meets ROHS3 compliance and maintains the same operating temperature range and MSL rating as the original part. The addition of a latch lock fastening mechanism provides enhanced mechanical retention without affecting electrical performance or physical compatibility.

The change in insulation material from glass-filled polyamide to thermoplastic does not alter the functional equivalence, as both materials satisfy the operating temperature range and environmental requirements specified for this connector category.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the FI-X30HL be used as a direct replacement for the FI-X30H?

A: Yes. The FI-X30HL maintains identical specifications for connector type, position count, pitch, row configuration, termination method, and mounting style. Both components operate across the same temperature range and meet equivalent environmental compliance standards.

Q: What is the difference between the FI-X30H and FI-X30HL?

A: The primary differences are product status and fastening mechanism. The FI-X30H is obsolete, while the FI-X30HL is active. The FI-X30HL includes a latch lock fastening type, whereas the FI-X30H does not specify a fastening mechanism. The insulation material differs: FI-X30H uses glass-filled polyamide, while FI-X30HL uses thermoplastic. These differences do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Are the contacts interchangeable between FI-X30H and FI-X30HL?

A: Both housings are designed for crimp contact termination with 1.00mm pitch. Contacts must be verified for compatibility with the specific housing variant, as fastening mechanism differences may influence contact retention characteristics.

Q: What is the MSL rating for these connectors?

A: Both the FI-X30H and FI-X30HL carry an MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The FI-X30H is RoHS Compliant, and the FI-X30HL is ROHS3 Compliant. Both meet regulatory requirements for hazardous substance restrictions.
