Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MSS-LP-1.5(42) is based on the following criteria derived from the provided parameters:

Primary Substitution Basis:

• Shared manufacturer: Hirose Electric Co Ltd
• Identical category: Coaxial Connectors (RF)
• Common base product number: MSS-LP
• Matching MSL rating: 1 (Unlimited)
• Identical export classification: EAR99
• Identical HTSUS code: 8536.69.4010

The MSS-LP-1.5DV serves as the active equivalent to the obsolete MSS-LP-1.5(42). Both components belong to the MSS connector series and share identical regulatory and environmental classifications. The substitute part maintains the same impedance specification (50 Ohms) and operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C), ensuring functional compatibility within RF applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Obsolete Part Replacement:

The MSS-LP-1.5(42) is classified as obsolete. The MSS-LP-1.5DV is the active equivalent within the MSS-LP product family and is the appropriate selection for new designs or when the original part becomes unavailable.

Compliance Considerations:

Both the MSS-LP-1.5(42) and MSS-LP-1.5DV share identical regulatory classifications (ECCN: EAR99, HTSUS: 8536.69.4010) and environmental ratings (MSL: 1). The MSS-LP-1.5DV carries RoHS Compliant certification, meeting current environmental compliance requirements for electronic components.

Inventory Availability:

The MSS-LP-1.5(42) maintains current stock of 1033 pieces. The MSS-LP-1.5DV is available with 897 pieces in inventory. Both parts are classified as new original stock.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Why is the MSS-LP-1.5(42) listed as obsolete?

A: The MSS-LP-1.5(42) has reached end-of-life status within Hirose Electric's product portfolio. The MSS-LP-1.5DV represents the active continuation within the MSS-LP connector series.

Q: Are the MSS-LP-1.5(42) and MSS-LP-1.5DV electrically equivalent?

A: Both components share the same base product number (MSS-LP), manufacturer, category classification, impedance specification (50 Ohms), and operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C). They are electrically equivalent for RF coaxial connector applications.

Q: What are the key differences between these parts?

A: The primary difference is product status: MSS-LP-1.5(42) is obsolete while MSS-LP-1.5DV is active. The MSS-LP-1.5DV includes detailed specifications such as connector type (Plug, Male Pin), contact termination (Solder), and RoHS compliance certification. The MSS-LP-1.5(42) specifications are not fully detailed in available documentation.

Q: Can I use MSS-LP-1.5DV as a direct replacement for MSS-LP-1.5(42)?

A: Yes. Both parts belong to the MSS-LP series, share identical regulatory and environmental classifications (ECCN, HTSUS, MSL), and maintain the same electrical parameters. The MSS-LP-1.5DV is the active equivalent.

Q: What is the packaging difference?

A: The MSS-LP-1.5DV is supplied in bag packaging. The MSS-LP-1.5(42) packaging specification is not provided in available documentation.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: The MSS-LP-1.5DV is explicitly certified as RoHS Compliant. RoHS compliance status for the MSS-LP-1.5(42) is not specified in available documentation.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these connectors?

A: Both the MSS-LP-1.5(42) and MSS-LP-1.5DV carry an MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage and handling.
