Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the FX8C-60P-SV6(21) are identified based on strict parametric equivalence within the FunctionMax™ FX8C series. The following criteria determine substitutability:

• Identical number of positions (60)
• Identical pitch (0.024" / 0.60mm)
• Identical number of rows (2)
• Identical connector type (Header, Outer Shroud Contacts)
• Identical mounting type (Surface Mount)
• Identical contact finish (Gold)
• Identical height above board (0.427" / 10.85mm)
• Identical mated stacking heights (11mm, 16mm)
• Identical features (Board Guide)
• Identical MSL rating (1 / Unlimited)

The substitute parts FX8C-60P-SV6(91) and FX8C-60P-SV6(96) meet all these parametric requirements and are therefore electrically and mechanically equivalent to the main part number.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both FX8C-60P-SV6(91) and FX8C-60P-SV6(96) are parametrically equivalent to FX8C-60P-SV6(21) and are suitable for direct substitution based on electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key differentiators for selection:

Product Status: FX8C-60P-SV6(91) and FX8C-60P-SV6(96) are both active products, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain support compared to the obsolete FX8C-60P-SV6(21).

RoHS Compliance: FX8C-60P-SV6(91) meets ROHS3 compliance, and FX8C-60P-SV6(96) meets RoHS compliance. The original FX8C-60P-SV6(21) is RoHS non-compliant. Selection should align with regulatory requirements for the target application and market.

Packaging: Both substitute parts are supplied in tube packaging, providing standardized handling and storage compared to the unspecified packaging of the main part number.

Inventory Availability: FX8C-60P-SV6(96) offers the highest current inventory level at 1154 pieces, followed by FX8C-60P-SV6(91) at 987 pieces.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are FX8C-60P-SV6(91) and FX8C-60P-SV6(96) direct replacements for FX8C-60P-SV6(21)?

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

Q: What is the difference between FX8C-60P-SV6(91) and FX8C-60P-SV6(96)?

A: The primary differences are RoHS compliance status (ROHS3 for the 91 variant versus RoHS for the 96 variant) and current inventory levels. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical and interchangeable.

Q: Why is the original FX8C-60P-SV6(21) marked as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates that the manufacturer has discontinued active production and support for this part number. Substitute parts with active status provide better long-term supply chain reliability and support.

Q: Does the packaging difference affect compatibility?

A: No. Packaging differences (tube versus unspecified) do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. Packaging is a logistics and handling consideration only.

Q: Are there any RoHS compliance considerations when substituting?

A: Yes. If your application or target market requires RoHS compliance, FX8C-60P-SV6(91) (ROHS3 compliant) or FX8C-60P-SV6(96) (RoHS compliant) must be selected instead of the non-compliant FX8C-60P-SV6(21). Verify compliance requirements for your specific application.

Q: Can I use these parts interchangeably in the same PCB design?

A: Yes. All three part numbers share identical electrical and mechanical parameters, including footprint, pitch, and mounting type. No PCB design changes are required for substitution.
