Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The GT8E-3P-DSA(55) is identified as the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete GT8E-3P-DSA. Substitution eligibility is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Style: Both parts are header connectors with board-to-cable/wire configuration
• Contact Configuration: 3-position, single-row layout with male pin contacts
• Pitch Specification: 0.079" (2.00mm) mating pitch
• Mounting Method: Through-hole PCB mounting
• Termination Type: Solder termination with latch lock fastening
• Electrical Ratings: 1A current rating, 250VAC voltage rating
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C ~ 105°C
• Compliance: RoHS compliant (ROHS3), EAR99 classification, HTSUS 8536.69.4040

The GT8E-3P-DSA(55) maintains identical functional and electrical characteristics while transitioning from obsolete to active product status.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can GT8E-3P-DSA(55) be used as a direct replacement for GT8E-3P-DSA in existing designs?

A: Yes. The GT8E-3P-DSA(55) maintains identical electrical ratings (1A, 250VAC), mechanical configuration (3-position, 0.079" pitch, through-hole mount), and contact specifications (tin-plated brass, solder termination). No design modifications are required.

Q: What is the difference between the obsolete GT8E-3P-DSA and the active GT8E-3P-DSA(55)?

A: The primary difference is product status. The GT8E-3P-DSA is obsolete and no longer manufactured. The GT8E-3P-DSA(55) is the active equivalent, manufactured to the same specifications with updated ROHS3 compliance. The "(55)" designation indicates the current production variant.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The GT8E-3P-DSA(55) is supplied in Tray packaging. Packaging specifications for the original GT8E-3P-DSA were not provided. Verify packaging requirements for your procurement process.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for GT8E-3P-DSA(55)?

A: MSL 1 (Unlimited). This classification indicates the component has unlimited shelf life under standard storage conditions and does not require special moisture control measures.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The GT8E-3P-DSA is RoHS Compliant. The GT8E-3P-DSA(55) achieves ROHS3 Compliant status, representing compliance with the current RoHS 3 directive.
