Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the FX8C-60S-SV5(21) is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Configuration: Receptacle with center strip contacts
• Electrical Specifications: 60 positions at 0.024" (0.60mm) pitch, dual-row arrangement
• Mechanical Compatibility: Surface mount mounting type, 0.352" (8.95mm) height above board, board guide feature
• Contact Properties: Gold finish, mated stacking heights of 10mm, 11mm, 12mm, 14mm, 16mm
• Environmental Rating: MSL 1 (Unlimited moisture sensitivity level)

The substitute part FX8C-60S-SV5(91) maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications while differing in product status and packaging configuration.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The FX8C-60S-SV5(91) is the direct functional equivalent of the FX8C-60S-SV5(21). Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including connector configuration, position count, pitch, mounting type, and environmental ratings.

The primary distinction is product lifecycle status: FX8C-60S-SV5(21) is obsolete, while FX8C-60S-SV5(91) maintains active production status. Additionally, FX8C-60S-SV5(91) achieves ROHS3 compliance, whereas FX8C-60S-SV5(21) is RoHS non-compliant.

For new designs and ongoing production applications, FX8C-60S-SV5(91) is the appropriate selection. For legacy system maintenance where the original part number is specified, FX8C-60S-SV5(21) remains available in current inventory (1045 pcs) pending stock depletion.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are FX8C-60S-SV5(21) and FX8C-60S-SV5(91) mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts are identical in connector type, position count, pitch, mounting configuration, height above board, and board guide feature. They are direct mechanical equivalents.

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

A: The primary differences are product status (obsolete vs. active), RoHS compliance level (non-compliant vs. ROHS3 compliant), and packaging format (unspecified vs. tube). Electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Can FX8C-60S-SV5(91) be used as a replacement for FX8C-60S-SV5(21) in existing designs?

A: Yes. The parts are functionally equivalent across all critical parameters. FX8C-60S-SV5(91) is suitable for direct substitution in applications where FX8C-60S-SV5(21) was originally specified.

Q: What does the MSL 1 rating mean for these connectors?

A: MSL 1 (Unlimited) indicates these connectors have no moisture sensitivity limitations and do not require special handling or storage conditions related to moisture exposure.

Q: Are there any compliance considerations when switching from FX8C-60S-SV5(21) to FX8C-60S-SV5(91)?

A: FX8C-60S-SV5(91) meets ROHS3 compliance requirements, making it suitable for applications subject to RoHS regulations. FX8C-60S-SV5(21) does not meet these requirements. Both parts maintain identical REACH and ECCN classifications.
