Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the HM2P12PS60M4 is based on strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type and pin configuration (Header, Male Pins, 3 positions)
• Physical mounting method (Through Hole)
• Termination technology (Solder)
• Contact material and finish specification (Gold, 59.0µin thickness)
• Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C)
• Mechanical features (Board Guide, single row)
• Series compatibility (Millipacs®)
• Moisture sensitivity classification (MSL 1)

The substitute part HM2P12PS60M4LF maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications while offering active product status and RoHS compliance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The HM2P12PS60M4LF serves as the direct functional equivalent to the obsolete HM2P12PS60M4. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including connector configuration, termination method, contact finish, and operating temperature range.

The primary distinction is product lifecycle status: HM2P12PS60M4LF is actively manufactured and carries RoHS compliance certification, whereas the original part is obsolete. For new designs or component replenishment, HM2P12PS60M4LF is the appropriate selection. The packaging difference (Tray for the substitute versus unspecified for the original) does not affect functional compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can HM2P12PS60M4LF be used as a direct replacement for HM2P12PS60M4?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical across all specified parameters, including connector type, pin count, mounting method, termination, contact finish, and operating temperature range.

Q: What is the significance of the "LF" suffix in HM2P12PS60M4LF?

A: The "LF" designation indicates lead-free composition and RoHS compliance. This does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility with applications designed for the original part.

Q: Are there packaging considerations when substituting these parts?

A: The substitute part is supplied in Tray packaging. Verify that your procurement and assembly processes accommodate this packaging format.

Q: Does RoHS compliance of the substitute part affect compatibility?

A: No. RoHS compliance is an environmental and regulatory attribute that does not alter the electrical or mechanical function of the connector.

Q: Is the operating temperature range identical between both parts?

A: Yes. Both parts operate across the same temperature range of -55°C to 125°C.
