Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the IL-S-13P-S2T2-EF is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Configuration: 13 positions, single row, 2.00mm pitch
• Mounting Method: Through-hole mounting
• Shrouding Design: Shrouded 4-wall construction
• Contact Type: Male pin header
• Fastening Mechanism: Detent lock
• Electrical Performance: Current and voltage ratings must meet or exceed application requirements
• Environmental Compliance: UL94 V-0 flammability rating and operating temperature range

The B13B-PH-KL from JST Sales America Inc. shares the core mechanical and electrical configuration required for functional equivalence within the 2.00mm pitch header category. Both connectors maintain identical position count, row configuration, shrouding style, and fastening mechanism. Differences in contact material, insulation height, and electrical ratings must be evaluated against specific application requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The B13B-PH-KL qualifies as a functional substitute for the IL-S-13P-S2T2-EF based on matching mechanical configuration and core connector specifications. The JST part maintains active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity.

Selection of the B13B-PH-KL requires verification that application electrical requirements do not exceed the substitute's ratings. The B13B-PH-KL is rated for 2A per contact and 100V maximum, compared to the IL-S-13P-S2T2-EF's 3A per contact and 300VAC/400VDC ratings. Applications operating within the B13B-PH-KL's electrical envelope are compatible. Applications requiring the higher current or voltage specifications of the original part necessitate alternative solutions.

The B13B-PH-KL operates across a -25°C to 85°C temperature range, which covers the upper portion of the IL-S-13P-S2T2-EF's -40°C to 85°C range. Applications requiring operation below -25°C are not suitable for this substitute.

Both connectors maintain UL94 V-0 flammability compliance and identical insulation material composition. The B13B-PH-KL employs press-fit termination in addition to solder capability, offering alternative assembly methods not available with the kinked pin design of the original part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the B13B-PH-KL directly replace the IL-S-13P-S2T2-EF in all applications?

A: Direct replacement is possible only when application electrical requirements remain within the B13B-PH-KL's specifications: maximum 2A per contact and 100V. The IL-S-13P-S2T2-EF supports higher current (3A) and voltage (300VAC/400VDC) ratings. Verify your circuit requirements before substitution.

Q: What is the difference between kinked pin and press-fit termination?

A: The IL-S-13P-S2T2-EF uses kinked pin termination, designed for wave soldering and traditional PCB assembly. The B13B-PH-KL supports both press-fit and solder termination, providing flexibility in assembly methods. Press-fit termination allows insertion into plated through-holes without soldering.

Q: Are the physical dimensions compatible between these connectors?

A: Both connectors share identical pitch (2.00mm), position count (13), and row configuration (1 row). The insulation height differs slightly: IL-S-13P-S2T2-EF is 0.217" (5.51mm) versus B13B-PH-KL at 0.236" (6.00mm). Verify PCB layout clearance for the increased height of the substitute.

Q: What is the operating temperature difference between these parts?

A: The IL-S-13P-S2T2-EF operates from -40°C to 85°C. The B13B-PH-KL operates from -25°C to 85°C. Applications requiring operation below -25°C cannot use the B13B-PH-KL as a substitute.

Q: Does the B13B-PH-KL have RoHS compliance?

A: Yes, the B13B-PH-KL is RoHS Compliant. The IL-S-13P-S2T2-EF status for RoHS compliance is not specified in the provided data.

Q: What is the difference in contact material between these connectors?

A: The IL-S-13P-S2T2-EF uses brass contacts, while the B13B-PH-KL uses copper alloy contacts. Both materials are tin-finished and suitable for standard PCB assembly and mating applications. Material selection does not affect functional compatibility for typical applications.
