Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the FX2BA-60PA-1.27DSA is determined by strict alignment of the following parameters:

• Manufacturer and Series: Hirose Electric Co Ltd, FX2 series
• Electrical Configuration: 60 positions, 1.27 mm pitch, center strip contacts
• Mechanical Interface: Through-hole mounting, solder termination
• Contact Properties: Gold finish, consistent contact finish thickness
• Environmental Compliance: Moisture sensitivity level 1 (unlimited)

The substitute part FX2BA-60PA-1.27DSA(71) maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications while offering improved product status and compliance posture.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The FX2BA-60PA-1.27DSA(71) serves as the direct substitute for the obsolete FX2BA-60PA-1.27DSA. Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, ensuring functional interchangeability in through-hole solder applications requiring 60-position connectors at 1.27 mm pitch.

The substitute part offers two significant advantages: active product status ensures continued availability and manufacturing support, and RoHS compliance aligns with current regulatory requirements for new designs and procurement initiatives. The contact finish thickness specification (7.87µin / 0.200µm) is explicitly documented for the substitute part, providing additional technical clarity for design validation.

Selection between these parts depends on application requirements: the substitute part is appropriate for new designs and systems requiring RoHS compliance, while the original part may be retained for legacy system maintenance where non-compliant components are already established.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are FX2BA-60PA-1.27DSA and FX2BA-60PA-1.27DSA(71) electrically identical?

A: Yes. Both connectors feature 60 positions, 1.27 mm pitch, center strip contacts, gold plating, and identical moisture sensitivity ratings. They are electrically interchangeable.

Q: What is the significance of the "(71)" designation in FX2BA-60PA-1.27DSA(71)?

A: The "(71)" suffix indicates a specific packaging or manufacturing variant. In this case, it denotes tray packaging and represents an active product variant of the obsolete base part number.

Q: Can the substitute part be used in existing designs originally specified for FX2BA-60PA-1.27DSA?

A: Yes. The substitute part maintains identical connector specifications, mounting interface, and termination method. Direct substitution is appropriate for both repair and redesign applications.

Q: What is the difference in RoHS compliance between these parts?

A: The original part is RoHS non-compliant, while the substitute part is RoHS compliant. For new designs subject to RoHS regulations, the substitute part is the appropriate selection.

Q: Are there any packaging differences between these parts?

A: The original part packaging is not specified in available documentation. The substitute part is supplied in tray packaging, which is standard for production quantities.

Q: What does MSL 1 (Unlimited) mean for these connectors?

A: Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 indicates the lowest moisture sensitivity classification. These connectors do not require special moisture control during storage, handling, or assembly.
