Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The FI-X30SSLA-HF-R2500 qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical electrical and mechanical parameters. Substitution is determined by the following criteria:

• Connector type and contact configuration (30-position receptacle, non-gendered)
• Mating pitch (0.039" / 1.00mm)
• Mounting style (surface mount, right angle)
• Contact finish specification (gold mating surface)
• Electrical ratings (1A per contact, 200V)
• Operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 80°C)
• Flammability and material compliance (UL94 V-0)

The primary distinction between the main part and substitute is packaging format and product status. The FI-X30SSLA-HF-R2500 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging and maintains active product status, whereas the original part is discontinued.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The FI-X30SSLA-HF-R2500 is the direct functional equivalent for the discontinued FI-X30SSLA-HF. Both parts share identical electrical specifications, mechanical dimensions, and material certifications. The substitute maintains RoHS compliance (ROHS3 status) and carries REACH Unaffected designation, meeting current regulatory requirements.

Selection of the FI-X30SSLA-HF-R2500 is appropriate for new designs and production continuity. The primary operational difference is packaging format: the substitute is supplied in Tape & Reel configuration, which is standard for automated assembly processes. Inventory availability is significantly higher for the active part (18,625 pcs vs. 828 pcs for the discontinued variant).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the FI-X30SSLA-HF and FI-X30SSLA-HF-R2500 electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts are identical in electrical performance, contact configuration, and current/voltage ratings. They are rated for 1A per contact at 200V across the same operating temperature range.

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

A: The primary differences are packaging format and product status. The FI-X30SSLA-HF-R2500 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging for automated assembly, while the original part was supplied in bulk packaging. The substitute maintains active product status.

Q: Can I use the FI-X30SSLA-HF-R2500 in existing designs specified for FI-X30SSLA-HF?

A: Yes. The mechanical footprint, pin configuration, and electrical characteristics are identical. No design modifications are required.

Q: What does the "-R2500" suffix indicate?

A: The "-R2500" suffix denotes the Tape & Reel packaging format with a 2500-piece reel quantity. This is a packaging and quantity designation, not a functional specification change.

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

A: Both parts are RoHS compliant. The substitute carries ROHS3 certification, reflecting current regulatory standards. Both are classified as REACH Unaffected.

Q: Is the Tape & Reel packaging suitable for my assembly process?

A: Tape & Reel packaging is standard for automated pick-and-place assembly. If manual assembly or bulk handling is required, consult your assembly process specifications.
