Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the FX2-52P-0.635SH is determined by strict alignment of the following parameters:

• Connector type (Plug)
• Position count (52 positions)
• Row configuration (2 rows)
• Mounting orientation (Surface Mount, Right Angle)
• Termination method (Solder)
• Connector style (Center Strip Contacts)
• Series designation (FX2)
• Contact finish (Gold)

The substitute part FX2-52P-0.635SH(71) maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all these parameters, differing only in packaging format and product status classification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The FX2-52P-0.635SH(71) is the direct functional equivalent of the FX2-52P-0.635SH. Selection between these parts should be based on the following criteria:

For new designs or production transitions: FX2-52P-0.635SH(71) is the appropriate choice. This part carries active product status, ensuring long-term availability and manufacturer support. It meets RoHS compliance requirements, satisfying modern regulatory standards for electronic components.

For legacy system maintenance: The original FX2-52P-0.635SH remains available with current inventory of 959 units. However, the non-compliant RoHS status and obsolete classification indicate limited future availability.

Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including connector geometry, contact configuration, and termination method, ensuring direct interchangeability in applications where the physical and electrical interface requirements are met.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can FX2-52P-0.635SH(71) be used as a direct replacement for FX2-52P-0.635SH?

A: Yes. Both parts are identical in connector type, position count, mounting configuration, and termination method. The primary differences are product status (active vs. obsolete) and RoHS compliance classification.

Q: What is the significance of the "(71)" designation in FX2-52P-0.635SH(71)?

A: The "(71)" suffix indicates a specific packaging variant. In this case, it denotes Tray packaging, whereas the original part number does not specify a packaging format.

Q: Are there any electrical performance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts maintain identical electrical specifications, including contact finish (gold plating), connector style (center strip contacts), and termination method (solder).

Q: Why should I transition from FX2-52P-0.635SH to FX2-52P-0.635SH(71)?

A: The substitute part carries active product status and RoHS compliance, ensuring regulatory alignment and extended supply chain availability. The original part is classified as obsolete, which may result in supply constraints.

Q: Are these parts compatible with existing PCB designs?

A: Yes, provided the original design accommodates the FX2 series 52-position plug connector with surface mount, right-angle solder termination. The mechanical footprint and electrical interface remain unchanged.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for both parts?

A: Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage or handling.
