Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the IPBS-108-01-T-S is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Manufacturer and series consistency (Samtec Inc., Power Mate® IPBS)
• Identical connector type, contact type, and style (Header, Female Socket, Board to Board)
• Matching position count and mating pitch (8 positions, 0.165" / 4.20mm)
• Equivalent mounting and termination methods (Through Hole, Solder)
• Identical operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 105°C)
• Matching voltage ratings (400VAC, 565VDC)
• Same insulation material and contact material specifications

The substitute part IPBS-108-01-T-S-GP meets all these criteria and is therefore electrically and mechanically interchangeable with the main part number.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both IPBS-108-01-T-S and IPBS-108-01-T-S-GP are active products with ROHS3 compliance and identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on design requirements and inventory availability. The IPBS-108-01-T-S-GP includes a guide pin feature, which may be relevant for applications requiring enhanced alignment during mating. Both parts carry EAR99 export classification and are subject to the same HTSUS tariff code. Current inventory levels are 1080 units for IPBS-108-01-T-S and 791 units for IPBS-108-01-T-S-GP.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are IPBS-108-01-T-S and IPBS-108-01-T-S-GP electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications including voltage rating (400VAC, 565VDC), operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 105°C), contact material (Phosphor Bronze), and contact finish (Tin). They are electrically equivalent.

Q: What is the functional difference between these two part numbers?

A: The IPBS-108-01-T-S-GP includes a guide pin feature. This is a mechanical enhancement for alignment purposes and does not affect electrical performance or core connector functionality.

Q: Are these connectors mechanically compatible in the same PCB footprint?

A: Yes. Both connectors have identical mechanical dimensions: 8 positions, 0.165" (4.20mm) mating pitch, 0.480" (12.20mm) insulation height, and 0.155" (3.94mm) contact post length. They are mechanically interchangeable in the same through-hole footprint.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both IPBS-108-01-T-S and IPBS-108-01-T-S-GP are ROHS3 compliant, carry EAR99 export classification, and share the same HTSUS code (8536.69.4040).

Q: Which part should I select for new designs?

A: Selection depends on design requirements. If alignment assistance during mating is beneficial, the IPBS-108-01-T-S-GP with guide pin is appropriate. If the guide pin is not required, either part is suitable. Both are active products with established supply availability.
