Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the FX2-32P-1.27DS is based on strict equivalence across all electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part FX2-32P-1.27DS(71) maintains identical specifications across the following critical parameters:

• 32-position connector configuration with 2-row arrangement
• Plug connector type with center strip contacts
• Through-hole, right-angle mounting orientation
• Solder termination method
• Gold contact finish
• Board-to-board connection type
• Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited)

The primary distinction between the main part and substitute is packaging format and product status classification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The FX2-32P-1.27DS(71) is the direct substitute for the FX2-32P-1.27DS. Selection between these parts should be based on the following criteria:

Product Status: The FX2-32P-1.27DS is classified as obsolete, while FX2-32P-1.27DS(71) maintains active product status. For new designs or long-term supply requirements, the active status part is preferred.

Compliance Requirements: The FX2-32P-1.27DS(71) is ROHS3 compliant, whereas the main part is RoHS non-compliant. Applications subject to RoHS regulations must use the substitute part.

Inventory Availability: FX2-32P-1.27DS(71) provides significantly higher inventory availability (3076 pieces versus 704 pieces), supporting larger production volumes and extended supply continuity.

Packaging Consideration: FX2-32P-1.27DS(71) is supplied in tray packaging, which may affect handling and storage procedures compared to unspecified packaging for the main part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are FX2-32P-1.27DS and FX2-32P-1.27DS(71) electrically and mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters including position count, row configuration, mounting type, termination method, and contact finish. They are direct substitutes.

Q: What does the "(71)" designation indicate in FX2-32P-1.27DS(71)?

A: The "(71)" suffix indicates a specific packaging variant and product revision. In this case, it denotes tray packaging and active product status with updated compliance certifications.

Q: Why should I use FX2-32P-1.27DS(71) instead of the main part number?

A: The substitute part offers three advantages: active product status ensuring continued availability, ROHS3 compliance for regulated applications, and higher inventory levels supporting production requirements.

Q: Does switching to FX2-32P-1.27DS(71) require PCB redesign?

A: No. The connector maintains identical through-hole, right-angle mounting specifications and pin configuration. Existing PCB designs require no modification.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: Yes. FX2-32P-1.27DS(71) is ROHS3 compliant while the main part is RoHS non-compliant. Both parts are REACH unaffected and classified under ECCN EAR99.
