Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can FX6-50P-0.8SV(71) be used as a direct replacement for FX6-50P-0.8SV?

A: Yes. The substitute part maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including connector type, position count, pitch, mounting configuration, and physical dimensions. No circuit modifications are required.

Q: What is the difference between FX6-50P-0.8SV and FX6-50P-0.8SV(71)?

A: The primary differences are product status (obsolete vs. active) and RoHS compliance (non-compliant vs. ROHS3 compliant). The designation "(71)" indicates the packaging format (Tube). All functional parameters are identical.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns with PCB footprints?

A: No. Both parts share identical height above board (0.197" / 5.00mm), mated stacking heights (5mm, 7mm), and mounting type (surface mount). Existing PCB designs require no modification.

Q: Does the substitute part affect signal integrity or electrical performance?

A: No. Both parts feature identical gold contact finish, pitch (0.031" / 0.80mm), and connector configuration. Electrical performance characteristics remain unchanged.

Q: What is the inventory status of the substitute part?

A: FX6-50P-0.8SV(71) has 1136 pcs in stock as new original inventory, ensuring supply continuity for production requirements.
