Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the GT8E-5P-DSA is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mechanical Compatibility:

• Connector type (Header)
• Contact type (Male Pin)
• Number of positions (5)
• Pitch - mating (0.079" / 2.00mm)
• Mounting type (Through Hole)
• Shrouding configuration (Shrouded - 4 Wall)
• Fastening type (Latch Lock)

Electrical & Material Compatibility:

• Contact material (Brass)
• Contact finish (Tin on both mating and post surfaces)
• Insulation material (PBT or equivalent polymeric material)
• Termination method (Solder)

Regulatory & Environmental:

• RoHS compliance status
• MSL rating (1 - Unlimited)

The substitute part GT8E-5P-DSA(55) maintains full equivalence across all critical parameters while offering active product status and enhanced operational specifications.

Parameter Comparison
