Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The identified substitute part FX8-60S-SV(21) is functionally equivalent to the main part FX8-60S-SV based on the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Configuration: Both are 60-position receptacles with center strip contacts
• Electrical Specifications: Identical pitch (0.024" / 0.60mm), number of positions (60), and row configuration (2 rows)
• Mechanical Specifications: Matching height above board (0.089" / 2.26mm), mated stacking heights (3mm, 4mm), and board guide feature
• Contact Properties: Gold plating on both parts
• Compliance: Both RoHS compliant and MSL 1 rated
• Series Compatibility: Both belong to the FunctionMax™ FX8 series

The substitution difference is limited to packaging format: the main part is supplied in Tray packaging, while the substitute is supplied in Tube packaging. This distinction affects logistics and handling but does not alter electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both FX8-60S-SV and FX8-60S-SV(21) are active production parts from Hirose Electric Co Ltd with full compliance certifications. The main part is RoHS compliant, while the substitute carries ROHS3 compliance, indicating enhanced environmental standards. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications, making them interchangeable at the component level.

Selection between these parts should be based on packaging requirements and supply chain considerations. The Tray packaging of the main part may be preferred for high-volume automated assembly operations, while the Tube packaging of the substitute may be suitable for lower-volume applications or specific handling requirements. Both parts carry MSL 1 rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage and handling.
