FX8-60P-SV Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The FX8-60P-SV is a 60-position rectangular connector header from Hirose Electric's FunctionMax™ FX8 series, designed for surface mount applications with outer shroud contacts and gold plating. This component is classified as obsolete, which necessitates identification of active equivalent alternatives that maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications for seamless board-level substitution.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the FX8-60P-SV is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Series: Header with outer shroud contacts from FunctionMax™ FX8 series
• Electrical Configuration: 60 positions, 2-row arrangement, 0.024" (0.60mm) pitch
• Physical Dimensions: 3mm mated stacking height, 0.112" (2.85mm) height above board
• Contact Properties: Gold finish, board guide feature
• Environmental Classification: MSL 1 (Unlimited moisture sensitivity)

The identified substitutes maintain 100% parametric equivalence across all specified dimensions and electrical characteristics. Differences exist only in product status (active vs. obsolete) and packaging configuration (tube vs. tray), which do not affect functional compatibility or board-level performance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both FX8-60P-SV(91) and FX8-60P-SV(71) are direct functional equivalents to the obsolete FX8-60P-SV. Selection between these active alternatives should be based on the following criteria:

FX8-60P-SV(91) is supplied in tube packaging and carries RoHS3 compliance certification, making it suitable for applications requiring the highest level of environmental regulatory adherence.

FX8-60P-SV(71) is supplied in tray packaging and carries RoHS compliance certification, providing an alternative for applications where tray-based component handling and logistics are preferred.

Both parts maintain identical electrical performance, mechanical fit, and board-level compatibility. The choice between them depends on procurement requirements, supply chain logistics, and regulatory compliance mandates specific to the end application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can FX8-60P-SV(91) and FX8-60P-SV(71) be used interchangeably with the original FX8-60P-SV?

A: Yes. Both substitute parts are parametrically equivalent across all electrical and mechanical specifications, including position count, pitch, mounting type, contact finish, and physical dimensions. They are direct functional replacements suitable for board-level substitution without design modification.

Q: What is the difference between tube and tray packaging?

A: Tube packaging (FX8-60P-SV(91)) and tray packaging (FX8-60P-SV(71)) represent different component handling and storage formats. The choice depends on assembly line equipment compatibility, inventory management practices, and supply chain requirements. The connector itself is identical in both cases.

Q: Why does the original FX8-60P-SV show as obsolete?

A: The FX8-60P-SV is classified as obsolete, indicating it is no longer in active production. The identified substitutes—FX8-60P-SV(91) and FX8-60P-SV(71)—are active production variants that provide continued availability of this connector specification.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between the substitute parts?

A: FX8-60P-SV(91) carries RoHS3 compliance, while FX8-60P-SV(71) carries RoHS compliance. Both are REACH Unaffected and classified under ECCN EAR99. Selection should align with the regulatory requirements of the target application and end market.

Q: Do the substitute parts have the same moisture sensitivity level?

A: Yes. All three parts—the original FX8-60P-SV and both substitutes FX8-60P-SV(91) and FX8-60P-SV(71)—are rated MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.
