Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution within the LSHM-120 connector family is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type: Self-mating, non-gendered, hermaphroditic configuration
• Position Count: 40 positions
• Pitch: 0.020" (0.50mm)
• Row Configuration: 2 rows
• Mounting Technology: Surface mount
• Contact Material & Finish: Gold plating at 10.0µin (0.25µm) thickness
• Mechanical Features: Board guide, pick and place compatibility, shielding
• Compliance: ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating

The substitute part LSHM-120-06.0-L-DV-A-S-K-TR maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters. Variation in the part number nomenclature reflects internal Samtec designation differences that do not affect functional interchangeability in circuit applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the LSHM-120-L6.0-L-DV-A-S-K-TR and LSHM-120-06.0-L-DV-A-S-K-TR maintain Active product status within the Samtec Razor Beam™ LSHM series. Both parts satisfy ROHS3 compliance requirements and carry MSL 1 (unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings, making them suitable for standard manufacturing and storage environments without special handling protocols.

Selection between these equivalent parts may be based on inventory availability and supply chain considerations. The LSHM-120-06.0-L-DV-A-S-K-TR currently maintains higher inventory levels (3849 pcs) compared to the LSHM-120-L6.0-L-DV-A-S-K-TR (809 pcs), which may influence procurement decisions for high-volume production requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are these connectors electrically interchangeable? A: Yes. Both parts maintain identical electrical specifications including 40-position configuration, 0.020" (0.50mm) pitch, gold contact finish at 10.0µin thickness, and self-mating hermaphroditic design.

Q: Can these connectors be used interchangeably on the same PCB layout? A: Yes. Both parts share identical mechanical dimensions, including 0.293" (7.45mm) height above board, 2-row configuration, and mated stacking heights of 8.5mm, 9mm, 10mm, and 12mm. PCB footprints and assembly processes remain unchanged.

Q: What is the significance of the part number variation between L6.0 and 06.0? A: The nomenclature difference reflects internal Samtec designation conventions and does not indicate functional or performance differences. Both designations refer to equivalent connector specifications within the LSHM-120 family.

Q: Are both parts suitable for automated assembly? A: Yes. Both connectors feature pick and place compatibility and board guide design, supporting standard surface mount assembly processes.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards? A: Yes. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry MSL 1 (unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings, meeting equivalent environmental and regulatory requirements.

Q: What packaging format is used for both parts? A: Both parts are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, suitable for automated component placement equipment.
