Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the HIF6-20D-1.27R is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Receptacle)
• Contact type (Female Socket)
• Position count (20)
• Pitch spacing (0.050" / 1.27mm)
• Row configuration (2 rows, 0.100" spacing)
• Cable termination method (IDC)
• Wire gauge compatibility (28 AWG)
• Contact finish (Gold)
• Mechanical features (Feed Through, Strain Relief)

The HIF6-20D-1.27R(20) is identified as a direct substitute. This part maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications while differing in packaging format and product status classification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The HIF6-20D-1.27R(20) is the direct functional equivalent for the obsolete HIF6-20D-1.27R. Selection of the active part number is supported by:

• Identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters
• Active product status ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity
• ROHS3 compliance certification on the substitute part
• Tray packaging format suitable for production environments
• Equivalent export classification (EAR99) and tariff coding (8536.69.4051)

The primary distinction is packaging format and regulatory compliance status. The HIF6-20D-1.27R(20) is suitable for direct replacement in new designs and production applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can HIF6-20D-1.27R(20) be used as a direct replacement for HIF6-20D-1.27R?

A: Yes. Both parts are identical in connector type, position count, pitch, row configuration, termination method, wire gauge, and contact finish. The substitute part is the active equivalent.

Q: What is the difference between HIF6-20D-1.27R and HIF6-20D-1.27R(20)?

A: The primary differences are packaging format (tray for the substitute) and product status (active vs. obsolete). Electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Is HIF6-20D-1.27R(20) RoHS compliant?

A: Yes, HIF6-20D-1.27R(20) is ROHS3 compliant. RoHS status for the original part number is not specified in available documentation.

Q: What wire gauge is compatible with these connectors?

A: Both parts are designed for 28 AWG ribbon cable with IDC termination.

Q: Are there packaging considerations when switching from HIF6-20D-1.27R to HIF6-20D-1.27R(20)?

A: The substitute part is supplied in tray packaging, which is standard for production environments. Verify tray quantity and handling requirements for your procurement process.

Q: What is the pitch spacing of this connector?

A: The pitch is 0.050" (1.27mm) with 2 rows spaced 0.100" (2.54mm) apart, accommodating standard 20-position IDC ribbon cable configurations.
