Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the FX8-60P-SV(21) is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type and contact configuration (Header, Outer Shroud Contacts)
• Position count and row configuration (60 positions, 2 rows)
• Pitch specification (0.024" / 0.60mm)
• Mounting technology (Surface Mount)
• Contact material and finish (Gold)
• Physical dimensions (Mated stacking height 3mm, height above board 0.112")
• Board guide feature presence

The FX8-60P-SV(91) meets all substitution criteria as a direct equivalent within the FunctionMax™ FX8 series, differing only in packaging format and product lifecycle status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The FX8-60P-SV(91) is the direct functional equivalent for the obsolete FX8-60P-SV(21). Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including connector architecture, position count, pitch, mounting method, and physical dimensions.

The primary distinction between these parts is product lifecycle status and regulatory compliance. The FX8-60P-SV(21) is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant, while the FX8-60P-SV(91) is active and ROHS3 compliant. For new designs or systems requiring regulatory compliance with current environmental standards, the FX8-60P-SV(91) is the appropriate selection. For legacy system maintenance where the original part specification must be preserved, the FX8-60P-SV(91) provides functional interchangeability without design modification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are FX8-60P-SV(21) and FX8-60P-SV(91) mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts are mechanically identical in connector type, position count, pitch, mounting footprint, and physical dimensions. They are direct substitutes for PCB assembly and mating applications.

Q: What is the significance of the part number suffix difference (21 vs. 91)?

A: The suffix indicates packaging format and product lifecycle designation. The FX8-60P-SV(21) uses standard packaging and is obsolete. The FX8-60P-SV(91) uses tube packaging and maintains active production status.

Q: Can I use FX8-60P-SV(91) in a design originally specified for FX8-60P-SV(21)?

A: Yes. The FX8-60P-SV(91) is a direct functional equivalent. No design changes are required. The substitution is valid for both new production and retrofit applications.

Q: What is the RoHS compliance difference, and does it affect compatibility?

A: The FX8-60P-SV(21) is RoHS non-compliant, while FX8-60P-SV(91) is ROHS3 compliant. This difference reflects manufacturing process updates and environmental standards adherence. Electrical and mechanical compatibility remains unchanged. For applications subject to RoHS regulations, the FX8-60P-SV(91) is required.

Q: Are there inventory or lead time considerations between these parts?

A: The FX8-60P-SV(21) is obsolete with limited remaining stock. The FX8-60P-SV(91) is active production with established supply availability. For ongoing procurement, the FX8-60P-SV(91) is the recommended source.
