HIF3-2428SCF(05) Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The HIF3-2428SCF(05) is a socket contact connector manufactured by Hirose Electric Co Ltd, designed for 24-28 AWG wire gauge applications with crimp termination. This component is classified as obsolete and is no longer in active production. Due to its obsolete status, identifying functionally equivalent active alternatives is essential for ongoing system maintenance, repair, and new design implementations where this connector type is required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the HIF3-2428SCF(05) is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Series Alignment: Both parts must belong to the HIF3 series to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility within the connector family
• Contact Type: Socket contacts must be substituted with socket contacts only
• Termination Method: Crimp termination is the required connection method
• Wire Gauge Compatibility: 24-28 AWG wire gauge must be maintained
• Manufacturer Consistency: Hirose Electric Co Ltd maintains design specifications across the HIF3 series

The HIF3-2428SCF variant (without the (05) designation) meets all substitution criteria as an active production alternative within the same series and specification class.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The HIF3-2428SCF serves as the direct substitute for the obsolete HIF3-2428SCF(05). Selection is based on the following engineering factors:

• Product Status: The substitute part is in active production, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity
• Compliance: The substitute part carries RoHS Compliant certification, meeting current environmental and regulatory standards
• Moisture Sensitivity: MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited) indicates no moisture sensitivity constraints during storage and handling
• Series Compatibility: Both parts belong to the HIF3 series, guaranteeing mechanical fit and electrical performance within HIF3-based connector assemblies
• Specification Alignment: Identical wire gauge, termination method, and contact type ensure direct functional equivalence

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the HIF3-2428SCF be used as a direct replacement for HIF3-2428SCF(05)?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications within the HIF3 series: socket contact type, 24-28 AWG wire gauge, and crimp termination. The primary difference is product status—the substitute is active production while the original is obsolete.

Q: What is the significance of the (05) designation in the original part number?

A: The (05) designation in HIF3-2428SCF(05) indicates a specific production variant or revision. The HIF3-2428SCF variant without this designation represents the current active production equivalent.

Q: Does the gold contact finish on the substitute part affect compatibility?

A: No. The gold contact finish on HIF3-2428SCF is an enhancement that improves corrosion resistance and electrical performance. It does not affect mechanical compatibility or functional equivalence with applications designed for the original part.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The substitute part is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) packaging, which is standard for active production components. The original part's packaging specification was not provided.

Q: What is the inventory status for these parts?

A: The original HIF3-2428SCF(05) has 800 pieces in stock as new original inventory. The substitute HIF3-2428SCF has 9100 pieces in stock as new original inventory, providing superior availability for procurement.
