Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The FX5-80S2A-DSA(71) qualifies as a direct substitute based on the following critical parameters:

• Identical number of positions (80)
• Identical pitch specification (0.039" / 1.00mm)
• Identical number of rows (2)
• Identical connector type (Receptacle, Outer Shroud Contacts)
• Identical mounting type (Through Hole)
• Identical contact finish (Gold)
• Identical height above board (0.366" / 9.30mm)
• Same manufacturer (Hirose Electric Co Ltd)
• Same series (FX5)

The primary distinction is product status and compliance: FX5-80S2A-DSA(71) is active and RoHS compliant, whereas the original part is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can FX5-80S2A-DSA(71) be used as a direct replacement for FX5-80S2A-DSA?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including position count, pitch, mounting type, contact finish, and board height. The primary differences are product status and RoHS compliance.

Q: What is the significance of the "(71)" designation in FX5-80S2A-DSA(71)?

A: The "(71)" suffix indicates a specific variant within the FX5 series, typically denoting RoHS compliance and active production status. This designation distinguishes it from the obsolete base part number.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: Yes. FX5-80S2A-DSA is supplied without specified packaging, while FX5-80S2A-DSA(71) is supplied in Tray packaging. Both packaging formats are suitable for through-hole assembly processes.

Q: Does the RoHS compliance difference affect electrical performance?

A: No. RoHS compliance relates to material composition and environmental standards, not electrical or mechanical performance. Both parts meet identical functional specifications.

Q: What is the Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) for these connectors?

A: Both parts have MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.
