Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the FX2-80P-0.635SH is determined by strict alignment of the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Number of Positions: 80 positions (fixed requirement)
• Pitch: 1.27mm (fixed requirement)
• Connector Type: Plug configuration
• Mounting Type: Right angle orientation
• Contact Finish: Gold plating
• Manufacturer Series: FX2 series (Hirose Electric Co Ltd)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

The substitute part FX2-80P-0.635SH(71) maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications while offering an active product status and RoHS compliance. The primary distinction is the packaging format (Tray) and termination method (Solder), which represent manufacturing and assembly variations rather than functional changes.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The FX2-80P-0.635SH(71) serves as the direct substitute for the obsolete FX2-80P-0.635SH. Selection of this substitute is supported by the following factors:

Product Status: The substitute maintains active product status with Hirose Electric Co Ltd, ensuring continued availability and manufacturing support. The main part's obsolete classification necessitates transition to an actively produced alternative.

Compliance: The substitute achieves RoHS compliance, addressing regulatory requirements for new designs and procurement cycles. The main part's non-compliant status may restrict use in applications subject to RoHS directives.

Electrical and Mechanical Compatibility: Both parts maintain identical position count (80), pitch (1.27mm), connector type (Plug), and contact finish (Gold). These parameters ensure functional interchangeability in applications designed for the original part.

Export Classification: Both parts share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4040) classifications, maintaining consistent regulatory treatment.

Packaging and Assembly: The substitute is supplied in Tray packaging with solder termination, representing standard manufacturing practices for active production. Design integration requires verification of termination method compatibility with existing assembly processes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can FX2-80P-0.635SH(71) be used as a direct replacement for FX2-80P-0.635SH?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications: 80 positions, 1.27mm pitch, plug configuration, right-angle mounting, and gold contact finish. The substitute is the active production equivalent of the obsolete main part.

Q: What is the significance of the "(71)" designation in FX2-80P-0.635SH(71)?

A: The "(71)" suffix indicates a specific manufacturing variant within the FX2 series. This variant represents the current production configuration with Tray packaging and solder termination.

Q: Does the RoHS compliance difference affect substitution?

A: RoHS compliance is a regulatory attribute, not a functional parameter. The substitute's RoHS compliance makes it suitable for applications subject to RoHS directives. For applications without RoHS requirements, both parts are functionally equivalent.

Q: Are there packaging considerations when substituting these parts?

A: The main part packaging is not specified in available data. The substitute is supplied in Tray packaging. Verify that Tray packaging is compatible with your procurement and assembly processes.

Q: What is the contact finish thickness specification?

A: The substitute specifies contact finish thickness of 7.87µin (0.200µm). The main part does not provide this specification. Both parts use gold plating and are functionally equivalent for contact performance.

Q: Are both parts subject to the same export classifications?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4040) classifications, ensuring consistent regulatory treatment for export and import purposes.
