FX8C-60P-SV(21) Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The FX8C-60P-SV(21) is a 60-position rectangular connector header manufactured by Hirose Electric Co Ltd, part of the FunctionMax™ FX8C series. This surface mount connector features outer shroud contacts with gold plating and is designed for applications requiring dual-row, high-density interconnection with 0.60mm pitch spacing.

The FX8C-60P-SV(21) carries an obsolete product status. Identifying equivalent and substitute parts from the active FunctionMax™ FX8C product line ensures design continuity and maintains supply chain reliability for new production runs and legacy system support.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the FX8C-60P-SV(21) are identified based on strict parametric equivalence within the FunctionMax™ FX8C series. The following electrical and mechanical parameters must remain identical for substitution validity:

• Number of Positions: 60
• Number of Rows: 2
• Pitch: 0.024" (0.60mm)
• Connector Type: Header, Outer Shroud Contacts
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Contact Finish: Gold
• Height Above Board: 0.175" (4.45mm)
• Mated Stacking Heights: 5mm, 10mm
• Features: Board Guide
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

The substitute parts FX8C-60P-SV(91) and FX8C-60P-SV(71) maintain all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Differences exist only in product status and regulatory compliance certifications, which do not affect functional interchangeability in applications where the connector specifications are met.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both FX8C-60P-SV(91) and FX8C-60P-SV(71) are functionally equivalent to the obsolete FX8C-60P-SV(21) and serve as direct substitutes for new production designs and legacy system replacements.

FX8C-60P-SV(91) is recommended as the primary substitute. This part carries active product status and ROHS3 compliance certification, ensuring long-term availability and alignment with current regulatory requirements. Tube packaging provides standard handling and storage conditions for surface mount assembly operations.

FX8C-60P-SV(71) is an alternative substitute with active product status and RoHS compliance certification. This part is equally suitable for applications where regulatory compliance and supply continuity are required.

Selection between FX8C-60P-SV(91) and FX8C-60P-SV(71) should be based on inventory availability, packaging requirements, and specific regulatory compliance mandates applicable to the end application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can FX8C-60P-SV(91) or FX8C-60P-SV(71) be used as direct replacements for FX8C-60P-SV(21) without PCB redesign?

A: Yes. All three parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical parameters, including pitch, position count, mounting type, contact finish, and board height. No PCB layout modifications are required for substitution.

Q: What is the difference between FX8C-60P-SV(91) and FX8C-60P-SV(71)?

A: Both parts are functionally equivalent. The primary differences are product status (both active), RoHS certification level (ROHS3 for FX8C-60P-SV(91), RoHS for FX8C-60P-SV(71)), and packaging format (both supplied in tubes). Selection depends on regulatory compliance requirements and inventory availability.

Q: Why is FX8C-60P-SV(21) marked as obsolete?

A: The FX8C-60P-SV(21) has been superseded by newer variants within the FunctionMax™ FX8C series that offer improved regulatory compliance and extended product lifecycle support. FX8C-60P-SV(91) and FX8C-60P-SV(71) provide equivalent functionality with active product status.

Q: Are there any compliance considerations when substituting FX8C-60P-SV(21)?

A: The original FX8C-60P-SV(21) is RoHS non-compliant. Both substitute parts (FX8C-60P-SV(91) and FX8C-60P-SV(71)) are RoHS compliant, which may be required for new designs or applications subject to RoHS regulations. Both parts maintain REACH Unaffected status and EAR99 export classification.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these connectors?

A: All three parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. Standard handling and storage procedures apply without special environmental controls.

Q: Are these connectors suitable for high-density interconnection applications?

A: Yes. The 0.60mm pitch and 60-position dual-row configuration support high-density interconnection requirements. The board guide feature provides mechanical stability during mating and unmating operations.
