Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can HIF3BA-40P-2.54W(63) be used as a direct replacement for HIF3BA-40P-2.54W?

A: Yes. The substitute part maintains identical specifications across all mechanical and electrical parameters. The primary distinction is product status transition from obsolete to active, with enhanced ROHS3 compliance certification.

Q: What are the critical parameters that define substitution compatibility?

A: Substitution compatibility is determined by: connector type (Header), contact type (Male Pin), position count (40), row configuration (2 rows), pitch spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm), mounting type (Through Hole), termination method (Wire Wrap), shrouding configuration (Shrouded - 4 Wall), fastening mechanism (Latch Lock/Eject Hooks), insulation material (PBT), contact material (Brass), operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 85°C), and voltage rating (200V).

Q: Are there packaging differences between the main part and substitute?

A: The main part packaging is not specified in available documentation. The substitute part is supplied in bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement specifications.

Q: Does the substitute part maintain the same wire wrap termination capability?

A: Yes. Both parts utilize identical wire wrap termination methodology and are suitable for equivalent assembly processes.

Q: What is the significance of the ROHS3 compliance upgrade?

A: ROHS3 compliance represents an enhanced regulatory certification level. This upgrade ensures the substitute part meets current and future regulatory requirements without functional or mechanical changes to the connector design.
