MSS-LP-1.5-A(40) Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MSS-LP-1.5-A(40) is a coaxial connector plug manufactured by Hirose Electric Co Ltd, designed for RF applications requiring 50 Ohm impedance. This connector features a male pin configuration with right-angle solder termination and free-hanging (in-line) mounting. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of equivalent substitute parts essential for ongoing system maintenance and component procurement.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the MSS-LP-1.5-A(40) are identified based on strict parametric equivalence across the following critical specifications:

• Connector series and style (MSS)
• Connector type (Plug, Male Pin)
• Impedance rating (50 Ohms)
• Mounting configuration (Free Hanging, Right Angle)
• Contact termination method (Solder)
• Cable group compatibility (1.5D-2V)
• Frequency capability (1 GHz maximum)
• Mating cycle rating (3000 cycles)
• Material composition and plating (Brass body with Gold finish, PTFE dielectric)
• Regulatory compliance (RoHS Compliant)

The identified substitutes maintain full electrical and mechanical compatibility with the original part specification while offering active product status and improved availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both MSS-LP-1.5(40) and MSS-LP-1.5DV are direct parametric equivalents to the obsolete MSS-LP-1.5-A(40). Selection between these active alternatives is based on the following criteria:

MSS-LP-1.5(40): This substitute maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the original part, including operating temperature range (-30°C ~ 60°C). It is suitable for applications with standard temperature requirements and is available in bulk packaging.

MSS-LP-1.5DV: This substitute provides an extended operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C) and includes a voltage rating specification (150 V) not present in the original part data. It is available in bag packaging. Selection of this variant is appropriate for applications requiring enhanced thermal performance or where the additional voltage rating provides operational margin.

Both substitutes maintain full compliance with RoHS regulations and are manufactured by the same supplier using identical material specifications (Brass body with Gold finish, PTFE dielectric).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MSS-LP-1.5(40) and MSS-LP-1.5DV be used interchangeably with MSS-LP-1.5-A(40)?

A: Yes. Both parts are parametric equivalents meeting all critical electrical and mechanical specifications: 50 Ohm impedance, MSS connector series, male pin plug configuration, right-angle solder termination, 1.5D-2V cable group compatibility, and 1 GHz frequency capability. Both are RoHS compliant and manufactured by Hirose Electric Co Ltd.

Q: What is the difference between MSS-LP-1.5(40) and MSS-LP-1.5DV?

A: The primary difference is operating temperature range. MSS-LP-1.5(40) operates from -30°C to 60°C, while MSS-LP-1.5DV operates from -40°C to 85°C. MSS-LP-1.5DV also includes a voltage rating specification of 150 V. All other electrical and mechanical parameters are identical.

Q: Does packaging affect compatibility?

A: Packaging format (bulk for MSS-LP-1.5(40) and bag for MSS-LP-1.5DV) does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. Packaging selection is determined by procurement and inventory management requirements only.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences?

A: No. Both substitute parts maintain identical RoHS compliance status and regulatory classifications (ECCN: EAR99, HTSUS: 8536.69.4010) as the original MSS-LP-1.5-A(40).

Q: Which substitute should be selected for new designs?

A: For new designs, either active substitute is acceptable. MSS-LP-1.5DV is recommended if the application requires extended temperature operation or where the 150 V voltage rating provides operational margin. MSS-LP-1.5(40) is suitable for standard temperature range applications.
