Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the FX5-80P-SH is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Configuration: Header with center strip contacts, 80 positions, 2 rows
• Electrical Interface: 0.039" (1.00mm) pitch spacing
• Mechanical Form Factor: Surface mount, right-angle orientation, 0.256" (6.50mm) height above board
• Contact Material: Gold finish
• Functional Features: Board guide and solder retention

The identified substitute part FX5-80P-SH(71) maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications while differing in product status and packaging configuration. This part is sourced from the same manufacturer and base product series, ensuring design compatibility and interchangeability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The FX5-80P-SH(71) is the direct equivalent substitute for the obsolete FX5-80P-SH. Selection between these parts should be based on the following criteria:

For New Designs and Active Production: FX5-80P-SH(71) is the appropriate choice. This part maintains active product status with Hirose Electric Co Ltd and achieves RoHS compliance, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component procurement.

For Legacy System Maintenance: The original FX5-80P-SH remains available in inventory (986 units) for applications where RoHS non-compliant components are acceptable or required for exact historical reproduction.

Compliance Considerations: The FX5-80P-SH(71) provides RoHS compliance and is classified as REACH Unaffected, supporting modern supply chain and environmental compliance requirements. Both parts share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4040) classifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are FX5-80P-SH and FX5-80P-SH(71) electrically and mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts are 80-position headers with identical pitch (0.039"/1.00mm), row configuration (2 rows), mounting type (surface mount, right angle), contact finish (gold), and height above board (0.256"/6.50mm). They are direct substitutes for circuit board applications.

Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers?

A: The primary differences are product status and RoHS compliance. FX5-80P-SH is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant, while FX5-80P-SH(71) is active and RoHS compliant. The packaging differs (unspecified versus tray). All electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Why does the part number include "(71)" in the substitute?

A: The "(71)" designation indicates a specific packaging variant within the FX5-80P-SH product line. This variant is supplied in tray packaging and maintains RoHS compliance status.

Q: Can I use FX5-80P-SH(71) as a direct replacement in existing designs?

A: Yes. The FX5-80P-SH(71) is a direct replacement with identical form factor, pin configuration, and electrical characteristics. No design modifications are required.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these connectors?

A: Both parts have MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. These connectors can be stored and handled without special moisture control measures.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences?

A: FX5-80P-SH(71) is RoHS compliant and REACH unaffected, while FX5-80P-SH is RoHS non-compliant. Both share the same ECCN (EAR99) export classification. For applications requiring RoHS compliance, FX5-80P-SH(71) is the required selection.
