Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the FX8C-60P-SV2(21) is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Configuration: Header with outer shroud contacts, 60 positions, dual-row arrangement
• Electrical Interface: 0.024" (0.60mm) pitch maintains contact spacing and mating compatibility
• Physical Dimensions: Height above board of 0.254" (6.45mm) and mated stacking heights of 7mm and 12mm ensure mechanical fit
• Contact Properties: Gold finish for signal integrity and corrosion resistance
• Mounting Method: Surface mount technology for PCB assembly compatibility
• Environmental Ratings: MSL 1 (Unlimited) for storage and handling conditions

The FX8C-60P-SV2(21) has two active equivalent alternatives within the same FunctionMax™ FX8C series that maintain full parametric compatibility across all specified dimensions and electrical characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

FX8C-60P-SV2(71) is a direct parametric equivalent with RoHS Compliance certification. This part is currently active in production and available in tube packaging. Selection of this variant is appropriate for applications requiring RoHS compliance within the FunctionMax™ FX8C series.

FX8C-60P-SV2(91) is a direct parametric equivalent with ROHS3 Compliance certification. This part is currently active in production, available in tube packaging, and represents the highest inventory availability among active alternatives. Selection of this variant is appropriate for applications requiring ROHS3 compliance and maximum supply chain availability.

Both substitute parts maintain full electrical and mechanical compatibility with the original FX8C-60P-SV2(21) specification across all critical parameters. The primary differentiators are product status (active vs. obsolete), RoHS compliance level, and packaging format.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can FX8C-60P-SV2(71) or FX8C-60P-SV2(91) be used as direct replacements for FX8C-60P-SV2(21)?

A: Yes. Both parts are parametric equivalents within the FunctionMax™ FX8C series. They maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications including 60 positions, 0.024" (0.60mm) pitch, dual-row configuration, surface mount technology, gold contact finish, and board height dimensions. The parts are mechanically and electrically interchangeable.

Q: What is the difference between the three part numbers?

A: The primary differences are product status and RoHS compliance certification. FX8C-60P-SV2(21) is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. FX8C-60P-SV2(71) is active and RoHS Compliant. FX8C-60P-SV2(91) is active and ROHS3 Compliant. All three parts share identical connector specifications and dimensions.

Q: Which substitute should I select for new designs?

A: For new designs, either FX8C-60P-SV2(71) or FX8C-60P-SV2(91) is appropriate. Selection depends on your RoHS compliance requirements. FX8C-60P-SV2(91) offers higher inventory availability and ROHS3 certification.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the substitute parts?

A: FX8C-60P-SV2(21) packaging is not specified. Both FX8C-60P-SV2(71) and FX8C-60P-SV2(91) are supplied in tube packaging, which is standard for surface mount connector headers.

Q: What is the MSL rating and why does it matter?

A: All three parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating unlimited shelf life without moisture absorption concerns. This simplifies storage and handling requirements for production environments.

Q: Are there any electrical performance differences between these parts?

A: No. All three parts maintain identical electrical specifications including contact finish (gold), pitch (0.024"), connector type (header with outer shroud contacts), and signal integrity characteristics.
