Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the GT8E-3P-DSA(01) is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Header)
• Contact type (Male Pin)
• Number of positions (3)
• Pitch - mating (0.079" / 2.00mm)
• Mounting type (Through Hole)
• Termination method (Solder)
• Shrouding configuration (Shrouded - 4 Wall)
• Style (Board to Cable/Wire)
• Contact finish (Tin)

The GT8E-3P-DSA(56) meets all these core substitution criteria. Both parts belong to the same GT8E series from Hirose Electric Co Ltd and maintain identical electrical and mechanical interface specifications for mating applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The GT8E-3P-DSA(56) is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete GT8E-3P-DSA(01). Both parts maintain identical core electrical and mechanical interface specifications, ensuring functional compatibility in board-to-cable/wire applications with 3-position, 2.00mm pitch requirements.

The GT8E-3P-DSA(56) is currently in active production status with higher inventory availability (1116 pcs vs. 876 pcs), providing superior supply chain reliability. Both parts carry RoHS compliance certification and identical moisture sensitivity ratings, meeting modern regulatory and environmental requirements.

Differences in fastening type (Push-Pull vs. Latch Lock), insulation height, contact shape, and insulation material do not affect mating interface compatibility. These variations represent design evolution within the GT8E series and do not preclude direct substitution in existing applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can GT8E-3P-DSA(56) directly replace GT8E-3P-DSA(01) in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors maintain identical mating pitch (2.00mm), contact type (Male Pin), number of positions (3), and solder termination specifications. The mating interface is fully compatible.

Q: What is the difference between Latch Lock and Push-Pull fastening?

A: Latch Lock uses a mechanical latch mechanism for connection retention, while Push-Pull employs a push-pull engagement system. Both are fastening methods within the GT8E series and do not affect electrical or mechanical mating compatibility.

Q: Does the difference in insulation material (PBT vs. PA/Nylon) affect compatibility?

A: No. Insulation material differences do not affect mating interface compatibility. Both materials are suitable for through-hole solder termination and board-to-cable/wire applications.

Q: Why is the insulation height different between these parts?

A: Insulation height variation (12.10mm vs. 13.50mm) reflects design refinement within the GT8E series. This difference does not impact mating compatibility and may provide improved mechanical stability in the substitute part.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both GT8E-3P-DSA(01) and GT8E-3P-DSA(56) are RoHS compliant with identical Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited) ratings.

Q: What is the packaging difference?

A: GT8E-3P-DSA(01) packaging is not specified in available data. GT8E-3P-DSA(56) is supplied in Bulk packaging, which is standard for through-hole connector headers.
