Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The FX2C-68S-1.27DSA(71) qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical electrical and mechanical parameters: 68-position configuration, 1.27 mm pitch, receptacle connector type, through-hole mounting, solder termination, board-to-board application, and gold contact finish. Both parts share the same base product number (FX2C) and maintain equivalent moisture sensitivity classification. The primary distinction is product lifecycle status: the original part is obsolete while the substitute maintains active status with enhanced RoHS3 compliance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The FX2C-68S-1.27DSA(71) is the appropriate selection for new designs and procurement activities. While both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications, the substitute offers active product status ensuring long-term availability and supply chain stability. The upgrade to ROHS3 compliance addresses regulatory requirements for restricted substances, whereas the original part carries non-compliant status. Both parts maintain equivalent REACH and export classification designations. For applications requiring RoHS compliance or where component lifecycle continuity is critical, the FX2C-68S-1.27DSA(71) is the specified choice.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are FX2C-68S-1.27DSA and FX2C-68S-1.27DSA(71) electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors provide identical electrical performance with 68 positions, 1.27 mm pitch, gold-plated contacts, and solder termination. They are functionally equivalent for board-to-board applications.

Q: What is the significance of the "(71)" designation in the part number?

A: The "(71)" suffix indicates a packaging variant. The substitute is supplied in Tray packaging, whereas the original part packaging is not specified. This does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Why is the original part listed as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the manufacturer has discontinued active production and support. The FX2C-68S-1.27DSA(71) maintains active status, ensuring continued availability and manufacturer support.

Q: Does the RoHS compliance difference affect physical compatibility?

A: No. RoHS3 compliance reflects manufacturing process changes to eliminate restricted substances but does not alter connector dimensions, pin configuration, or mounting characteristics. Physical and mechanical compatibility remains unchanged.

Q: Can the FX2C-68S-1.27DSA(71) be used as a direct replacement in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. Identical position count, pitch, mounting type, and termination method ensure direct replacement capability in existing PCB designs and assemblies.
