Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The FX2-60P-0.635SH has one direct equivalent substitute: FX2-60P-0.635SH(71). Substitution eligibility is determined by the following critical parameters that must remain identical:

• Number of Positions: 60
• Number of Rows: 2
• Connector Type: Plug
• Connector Style: Center Strip Contacts
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount, Right Angle
• Termination: Solder
• Contact Finish: Gold
• Series: FX2
• Category: D-Sub, D-Shaped Connectors

The substitute part maintains all functional and mechanical specifications required for direct replacement. The primary distinction is product status and packaging configuration.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The FX2-60P-0.635SH(71) is the direct functional equivalent for the obsolete FX2-60P-0.635SH. Selection of the substitute part is based on the following engineering criteria:

Product Status: The main part is obsolete, while FX2-60P-0.635SH(71) maintains active status with current manufacturing support from Hirose Electric Co Ltd.

Compliance: FX2-60P-0.635SH(71) is RoHS Compliant, whereas the original part is RoHS non-compliant. This distinction is significant for applications subject to RoHS regulations.

Packaging: FX2-60P-0.635SH(71) is supplied in Tray packaging, which differs from the unspecified packaging of the main part. Packaging configuration does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Electrical and Mechanical Compatibility: All critical parameters—position count, row configuration, connector type, mounting method, termination style, and contact finish—are identical between the two parts, ensuring direct substitution without circuit or mechanical redesign.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can FX2-60P-0.635SH(71) be used as a direct replacement for FX2-60P-0.635SH?

A: Yes. FX2-60P-0.635SH(71) is a direct functional equivalent. All electrical and mechanical specifications are identical, including position count, mounting type, termination method, and contact finish. The parts are interchangeable without modification to PCB layout or assembly procedures.

Q: What is the significance of the "(71)" designation in FX2-60P-0.635SH(71)?

A: The "(71)" suffix indicates a specific packaging configuration. In this case, it denotes Tray packaging. The suffix does not alter the connector's electrical or mechanical properties.

Q: Why is the original FX2-60P-0.635SH listed as obsolete?

A: Obsolescence indicates that the part is no longer in active production. FX2-60P-0.635SH(71) is the active equivalent maintained by Hirose Electric Co Ltd for ongoing supply.

Q: Does the RoHS compliance difference affect compatibility?

A: RoHS compliance status does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. However, applications subject to RoHS regulations must use FX2-60P-0.635SH(71), which is RoHS Compliant.

Q: Are there inventory considerations when selecting between these parts?

A: The main part has 1063 pieces in stock, while FX2-60P-0.635SH(71) has 952 pieces available. Both are listed as new original stock. Inventory availability should be evaluated based on project timeline and supply chain requirements.

Q: Does packaging affect the connector's performance or installation?

A: Packaging does not affect electrical performance or mechanical installation. Tray packaging is standard for surface mount connectors and facilitates automated assembly processes.
