Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the KP10BH-8S-SF(800) are determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Card Type: Micro SIM
• Number of Positions: 8 (6 + 2)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount, Right Angle
• Contact Finish: Gold
• Insertion Method: Push In, Pull Out
• Features: Switch
• Base Product Number: KP10 series
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

Parts meeting all these criteria are classified as direct substitutes. Variations in height above board within the same series are acceptable provided all other electrical and mechanical parameters remain constant.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The KP10BJ-8S-SF(800) is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the KP10BH-8S-SF(800). Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters, including card type, position count, mounting configuration, contact finish, and compliance certifications.

The primary distinction is product status: the KP10BH-8S-SF(800) is in Last Time Buy phase, while the KP10BJ-8S-SF(800) is Active. The KP10BJ variant offers improved supply chain availability and long-term production support.

The height above board difference of 0.003" (0.07mm) between the two parts is within typical PCB design tolerances and does not affect functional compatibility in standard applications. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry identical moisture sensitivity ratings.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the KP10BJ-8S-SF(800) be used as a direct replacement for the KP10BH-8S-SF(800)?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications for card type, position count, mounting type, contact finish, and insertion method. The minor height variation (0.003") is within standard PCB design tolerances.

Q: What is the significance of the Last Time Buy status for the KP10BH-8S-SF(800)?

A: Last Time Buy indicates the manufacturer will cease production. Existing inventory will be depleted without replenishment. Transitioning to the KP10BJ-8S-SF(800) ensures continued supply availability.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant with identical moisture sensitivity levels (MSL 1, Unlimited). Certifications and regulatory classifications are equivalent.

Q: Does the 0.003" height difference affect PCB layout?

A: The height variation is minimal and typically accommodates standard PCB design margins. Verify clearance in your specific application if height-constrained designs are present.

Q: What packaging format is available for both parts?

A: Both the KP10BH-8S-SF(800) and KP10BJ-8S-SF(800) are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging suitable for automated assembly processes.
