Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the MSS-LR-PC(41) must maintain electrical and mechanical compatibility based on the following critical parameters:

  • Connector Series & Type: MSS series receptacle, female socket configuration
  • Impedance Rating: 50 Ohms (RF standard)
  • Mounting Configuration: Through hole, right-angle orientation
  • Termination Method: Solder contact and shield termination
  • Frequency Performance: Maximum 500 MHz operation
  • Environmental Compliance: ROHS3 compliance required
  • Mechanical Durability: Minimum 3000 mating cycles

The MSS-LR-PC-A(41) qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical connector style, impedance, mounting type, and termination methodology. Both parts maintain the same functional interface and electrical characteristics required for RF coaxial applications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MSS-LR-PC-A(41) is the recommended substitute for the MSS-LR-PC(41). Both parts are manufactured by Hirose Electric Co Ltd and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary distinction is product status: the original part is in Last Time Buy phase, while the substitute is Active. This transition ensures continued availability and supply chain stability. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing and use.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MSS-LR-PC-A(41) be used as a direct replacement for MSS-LR-PC(41)?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical connector type, impedance rating, mounting configuration, and termination method. They are electrically and mechanically interchangeable for RF coaxial applications.

Q: What is the significance of the product status change from Last Time Buy to Active?

A: Last Time Buy status indicates the original part is being discontinued. The Active status of the substitute ensures long-term availability and procurement reliability for ongoing production and future designs.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant. No compliance differences exist between the two parts.

Q: What are the critical parameters for confirming substitution compatibility?

A: Connector type (receptacle, female socket), impedance (50 Ohms), mounting style (through hole, right angle), and termination method (solder) must remain constant. Both parts meet these requirements.

Q: Does the packaging difference affect electrical performance?

A: Packaging format does not affect electrical or mechanical performance. The connector specifications remain identical regardless of packaging configuration.
