Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: What is the primary difference between HIF3BA-30PD-2.54R-MC and HIF3BA-30PD-2.54R-MC(63)?
A: The primary difference is product status. HIF3BA-30PD-2.54R-MC is obsolete, while HIF3BA-30PD-2.54R-MC(63) is active. The connector type designation differs (Header vs. Plug), but electrical and mechanical parameters remain identical. Both support 30-position IDC ribbon cable termination with 28 AWG wire gauge and gold-plated male pins.
Q: Are these connectors mechanically interchangeable?
A: Yes. Both connectors feature identical pitch (0.100"), row spacing (0.100"), position count (30), fastening system (latch lock/eject hooks), and polarizing key configuration. They are mechanically interchangeable in applications designed for either header or plug connector types.
Q: What wire gauge does this connector support?
A: Both the main part and substitute support 28 AWG ribbon cable for IDC termination. This specification is fixed and cannot be altered.
Q: Is the substitute part RoHS compliant?
A: Yes. HIF3BA-30PD-2.54R-MC(63) carries ROHS3 certification, which supersedes the RoHS Compliant designation of the original part. Both meet RoHS requirements for regulated markets.
Q: What is the MSL rating for these connectors?
A: Both connectors carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity limitations for storage or handling.
Q: Can I use HIF3BA-30PD-2.54R-MC(63) as a direct replacement in existing designs?
A: Yes. The substitute part maintains full compatibility with designs specified for HIF3BA-30PD-2.54R-MC. No design modifications are required.
