Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the HLE-120-02-G-DV-BE-LC-K is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Configuration: Receptacle, bottom entry, board-to-board style
• Contact Count & Arrangement: 40 positions in 2-row configuration
• Pitch Specifications: 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch and row spacing
• Electrical Performance: 4.1A per contact, 400VAC rating
• Mounting & Termination: Surface mount with solder termination
• Contact Material & Finish: Beryllium copper with gold plating (20.0µin mating surface)
• Environmental Compliance: ROHS3 compliance, MSL Level 1
• Operating Range: -55°C to 125°C

The substitute part HLE-120-02-G-DV-BE-LC-P matches all specified parameters, differing only in fastening mechanism designation (P vs. K suffix), which represents a variant within the same product family maintaining full electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both HLE-120-02-G-DV-BE-LC-K and HLE-120-02-G-DV-BE-LC-P maintain Active product status with identical ROHS3 compliance and MSL Level 1 certification. Selection between these parts is based on availability and application-specific fastening requirements. The HLE-120-02-G-DV-BE-LC-K currently maintains 1078 units in stock, while HLE-120-02-G-DV-BE-LC-P has 757 units available. Both parts satisfy identical electrical performance specifications, mechanical tolerances, and environmental operating conditions. Component selection should prioritize inventory availability and lead time requirements without compromising functional performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are HLE-120-02-G-DV-BE-LC-K and HLE-120-02-G-DV-BE-LC-P electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical ratings (4.1A per contact, 400VAC), contact materials (beryllium copper with gold plating), and operating temperature ranges (-55°C to 125°C). The suffix designation represents a variant within the HLE-120 family and does not affect electrical performance.

Q: What determines compatibility between these connector variants?

A: Compatibility is established through matching connector type (receptacle, bottom entry), contact count (40 positions), pitch specifications (0.100" mating and row spacing), mounting method (surface mount), and termination type (solder). Both parts meet these criteria identically.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in existing PCB designs?

A: Yes, provided the PCB footprint accommodates the surface mount configuration and solder termination. Both parts maintain identical mechanical dimensions, insulation height (0.144"), and board lock features.

Q: What is the significance of the MSL Level 1 rating?

A: MSL Level 1 indicates unlimited shelf life without moisture bake-out requirements, providing maximum flexibility in storage and handling without degradation of solder joint reliability.

Q: Are both parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both HLE-120-02-G-DV-BE-LC-K and HLE-120-02-G-DV-BE-LC-P carry ROHS3 compliance certification, meeting current environmental and hazardous substance restrictions.
