Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the M60-6162545 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type: Plug with center strip contacts
• Position Count: 50 positions
• Pitch Specification: 0.031" (0.80mm)
• Row Configuration: 2 rows
• Mounting Technology: Surface mount
• Contact Material: Gold plating
• Compliance Requirements: RoHS and REACH status

The 3M P08-050PLC-C-G qualifies as a direct substitute based on matching all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Both components share identical position count, pitch, row configuration, mounting type, and contact finish specifications. Compliance certifications align with current regulatory requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 3M P08-050PLC-C-G serves as the primary substitute for the obsolete M60-6162545. Selection is based on the following engineering criteria:

Product Status: The substitute component maintains active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity compared to the obsolete original part.

Regulatory Compliance: Both components satisfy RoHS and REACH requirements. The substitute maintains current RoHS compliance standards, supporting modern manufacturing and environmental regulations.

Electrical and Mechanical Equivalence: Identical specifications across connector type, position count, pitch, row configuration, and mounting technology ensure direct functional replacement without circuit redesign or PCB modification.

Export Classification: Both components share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS classifications, maintaining consistent regulatory treatment for procurement and logistics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the P08-050PLC-C-G directly replace the M60-6162545 without PCB redesign?

A: Yes. Both components share identical pitch (0.031"/0.80mm), position count (50), row configuration (2), and mounting type (surface mount). No PCB layout modifications are required for substitution.

Q: What is the difference in contact finish thickness between these parts?

A: The M60-6162545 specifies 2.00µin (0.051µm) gold plating, while the P08-050PLC-C-G specifies 8.00µin (0.203µm). Both meet gold contact finish requirements for rectangular connectors. The thicker plating on the substitute provides enhanced durability and contact reliability.

Q: Are there differences in mated stacking heights?

A: The M60-6162545 supports mated stacking heights of 7mm, 8mm, and 9mm. The P08-050PLC-C-G supports 5mm and 8mm. Verify that your application accommodates the available stacking height options of the substitute component.

Q: Does the substitute component have the same moisture sensitivity level?

A: Yes. Both components are classified as MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage, handling, or assembly.

Q: What is the height above board difference?

A: The M60-6162545 has a height above board of 0.232" (5.90mm), while the P08-050PLC-C-G measures 0.186" (4.72mm). This 0.046" (1.18mm) difference may affect clearance in space-constrained applications. Verify mechanical fit within your enclosure or assembly.

Q: Are both components RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The M60-6162545 is RoHS3 compliant, and the P08-050PLC-C-G is RoHS compliant. Both satisfy current lead-free and hazardous substance restrictions.
