• Identical row spacing: 0.6" (15.24mm)
• Identical mating pitch: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Identical post pitch: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Identical contact finish: Tin
• Identical contact material: Phosphor Bronze
• Identical mounting type: Through Hole
• Identical housing material: Polyester, Glass Filled
• Identical current rating: 1 A
• Identical flammability rating: UL94 V-0
• Identical moisture sensitivity level: 1 (Unlimited)

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 4828-6000-CP is the direct functional equivalent for the obsolete ICO-286-S8-T. Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications for socket configuration, contact materials, and current handling capacity.

The primary distinction is product status: the ICO-286-S8-T is obsolete while the 4828-6000-CP is active and currently in production. The 4828-6000-CP offers ROHS3 compliance, whereas the original part is RoHS non-compliant. This compliance improvement aligns with current regulatory requirements for electronic component procurement.

Operating temperature range differs between the two parts. The ICO-286-S8-T operates from -65°C to 105°C, while the 4828-6000-CP operates from -25°C to 85°C. Applications requiring the extended low-temperature performance of the original part must evaluate whether the substitute's temperature range is sufficient for the intended use case.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 4828-6000-CP directly replace the ICO-286-S8-T in existing designs?

A: Yes, from an electrical and mechanical standpoint. Both components have identical pin counts, spacing, pitch, contact materials, and current ratings. Physical footprint compatibility is assured. However, verify that the operating temperature range of -25°C to 85°C meets your application requirements, as the original part supports -65°C to 105°C.

Q: What is the difference in packaging between these parts?

A: The ICO-286-S8-T packaging is not specified in the available data. The 4828-6000-CP is supplied in tube packaging. Confirm packaging requirements for your procurement and assembly processes.

Q: Does the RoHS compliance difference affect substitution?

A: The 4828-6000-CP is ROHS3 compliant while the ICO-286-S8-T is RoHS non-compliant. For applications subject to RoHS regulations, the 4828-6000-CP is the appropriate choice. For legacy systems without RoHS requirements, both parts are functionally equivalent.

Q: Are there any contact finish thickness differences?

A: The ICO-286-S8-T contact finish thickness is not specified. The 4828-6000-CP specifies 35.4µin (0.90µm) for mating contacts and 35.0µin (0.90µm) for post contacts. Both use tin finish on phosphor bronze, ensuring compatible electrical performance.

Q: What is the inventory status for these parts?

A: The ICO-286-S8-T has 723 pieces in stock as new original inventory. The 4828-6000-CP has 2209 pieces in stock as new original inventory, providing greater availability for ongoing procurement needs.
