Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both FX11LA-68S-SV and FX11LA-68S-SV(21) are Active product status components manufactured by Hirose Electric Co Ltd and maintain full RoHS compliance. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging requirements and supply chain logistics:

• FX11LA-68S-SV (Bag packaging) is suitable for manual assembly, prototyping, or low-volume production runs.
• FX11LA-68S-SV(21) (Tape & Reel packaging) is optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly and high-volume manufacturing operations.

Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical and will function interchangeably in the same circuit design and PCB layout.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can FX11LA-68S-SV(21) be used as a direct replacement for FX11LA-68S-SV?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The only difference is packaging format. FX11LA-68S-SV(21) uses Tape & Reel packaging while FX11LA-68S-SV uses Bag packaging. The connector specifications, contact configuration, and performance characteristics are identical.

Q: What is the significance of the "(21)" designation in FX11LA-68S-SV(21)?

A: The "(21)" designation indicates the packaging format is Tape & Reel (TR), which is standard for automated assembly processes. This does not affect the electrical or mechanical properties of the connector itself.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns when switching between Bag and Tape & Reel packaging?

A: No compatibility concerns exist for the connector component itself. The choice between packaging formats is determined by assembly method and production volume requirements, not by circuit design or PCB layout.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both FX11LA-68S-SV and FX11LA-68S-SV(21) are RoHS compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating and Active product status from Hirose Electric Co Ltd.

Q: What are the key parameters that define substitution eligibility for this connector?

A: Substitution eligibility is determined by: 68-position count, 0.020" (0.50mm) pitch, 2-row configuration, receptacle type with center strip contacts, surface mount mounting, gold contact finish at 4.00µin thickness, 2mm mated stacking height, 0.065" height above board, board guide and solder retention features, and RoHS compliance.
