Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the FX8C-80P-SV6(21) is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type and configuration (Header, Outer Shroud Contacts)
• Position count (80 positions)
• Pitch specification (0.024" / 0.60mm)
• Row configuration (2 rows)
• Mounting technology (Surface Mount)
• Contact material and finish (Gold)
• Mechanical envelope (Height Above Board: 0.427" / 10.85mm)
• Series compatibility (FunctionMax™ FX8C)

The FX8C-80P-SV6(91) meets all substitution criteria as a direct equivalent within the same manufacturer series and product family.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The FX8C-80P-SV6(91) is the direct substitute for the obsolete FX8C-80P-SV6(21). Both parts are functionally and mechanically identical across all critical connector parameters.

The primary distinction between these parts is product lifecycle status and regulatory compliance. The FX8C-80P-SV6(21) is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant, while the FX8C-80P-SV6(91) maintains active product status and meets ROHS3 compliance requirements. The FX8C-80P-SV6(91) is supplied in tube packaging.

For new designs or ongoing production requiring regulatory compliance with current environmental standards, the FX8C-80P-SV6(91) is the appropriate selection. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, ensuring direct interchangeability in applications where the connector footprint, pin count, pitch, and mounting method are specified.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are FX8C-80P-SV6(21) and FX8C-80P-SV6(91) electrically and mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts are identical in electrical performance, mechanical dimensions, contact configuration, and mounting specifications. The difference in part number suffix reflects packaging and compliance status only.

Q: What is the significance of the part number suffix difference between (21) and (91)?

A: The suffix indicates packaging and product lifecycle designation. The (21) variant is obsolete, while the (91) variant is active production. The (91) variant is supplied in tube packaging and meets current RoHS3 compliance standards.

Q: Can the FX8C-80P-SV6(91) be used as a direct replacement in existing designs using FX8C-80P-SV6(21)?

A: Yes. The FX8C-80P-SV6(91) provides direct functional and mechanical substitution. No design modifications are required. The connector maintains identical pin assignments, footprint, height, and electrical characteristics.

Q: What are the key parameters that define substitution eligibility for this connector?

A: Substitution is determined by equivalence in position count (80), pitch (0.024" / 0.60mm), row configuration (2), connector type (Header, Outer Shroud Contacts), mounting method (Surface Mount), contact finish (Gold), and mechanical envelope (Height Above Board: 0.427" / 10.85mm).

Q: Does the RoHS compliance difference affect connector performance?

A: No. RoHS compliance reflects manufacturing process and material sourcing standards, not electrical or mechanical performance. Both variants perform identically in circuit applications.
