Engineering Selection Recommendations

The FX2C-60P-1.27DSA(71) is the direct substitute for the obsolete FX2C-60P-1.27DSA. Selection of this substitute is based on the following engineering criteria:

Product Status Alignment: The substitute part is in active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity compared to the obsolete main part.

Compliance Enhancement: The substitute achieves RoHS compliance, whereas the main part is RoHS non-compliant. This distinction is material for applications subject to RoHS regulatory requirements.

Electrical & Mechanical Equivalence: Both parts maintain identical specifications across all critical parameters including position count, pitch, mounting type, termination method, and connector classification. Functional interchangeability is established through these matching parameters.

Certification Parity: Both parts carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4040) classifications, maintaining regulatory consistency.

Moisture Sensitivity: Both parts share MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating equivalent handling and storage requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can FX2C-60P-1.27DSA(71) be used as a direct replacement for FX2C-60P-1.27DSA?

A: Yes. Both parts are manufactured by Hirose Electric Co Ltd within the FX2 series and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The 60-position, 2-row configuration with 1.27mm pitch, through-hole solder termination, and board-to-board connectivity are equivalent across both parts.

Q: What is the significance of the "(71)" designation in FX2C-60P-1.27DSA(71)?

A: The "(71)" suffix indicates a specific variant or revision of the base FX2C-60P-1.27DSA part number. This variant is in active production status and is RoHS compliant, distinguishing it from the obsolete main part.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the main part and substitute?

A: Yes. The substitute part FX2C-60P-1.27DSA(71) is supplied in Tray packaging, whereas packaging information for the main part is not specified. Packaging format does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Does the RoHS compliance difference affect substitution eligibility?

A: No. RoHS compliance status does not alter the electrical or mechanical interchangeability of these connectors. However, applications subject to RoHS regulatory requirements should utilize the compliant substitute part FX2C-60P-1.27DSA(71).

Q: Are the contact finish specifications identical?

A: Both parts feature gold-plated contacts. The substitute part specifies contact finish thickness as 7.87µin (0.200µm), while this specification is not provided for the main part. This does not preclude substitution, as both maintain gold contact finish.

Q: What is the inventory status of these parts?

A: The main part FX2C-60P-1.27DSA has 935 pieces in stock as new original inventory. The substitute part FX2C-60P-1.27DSA(71) has 731 pieces in stock as new original inventory.
