Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The MSS-R-PC(40) qualifies as a direct substitute for the MSS-R-PC(41) based on the following substitution criteria:

Matching Parameters:

• Identical base product number (MSS-R)
• Same connector category (Coaxial Connectors - RF)
• Identical manufacturer (Hirose Electric Co Ltd)
• Matching impedance specification (50 Ohms)
• Identical connector type (Receptacle, Female Socket)
• Matching contact termination method (Solder)
• Identical mounting type (Through Hole)
• Matching RoHS compliance status (ROHS3 Compliant)
• Identical MSL rating (1 - Unlimited)
• Matching ECCN and HTSUS classifications

The MSS-R-PC(40) is currently in active production status, providing supply continuity for applications previously using the obsolete MSS-R-PC(41).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MSS-R-PC(40) is the qualified substitute for the obsolete MSS-R-PC(41). Selection is based on:

• Compliance Alignment: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and identical MSL ratings, ensuring regulatory continuity in applications subject to environmental and hazardous substance restrictions.

• Active Production Status: The MSS-R-PC(40) is in active production, providing assured supply availability compared to the obsolete MSS-R-PC(41).

• Functional Equivalence: Identical electrical specifications (50-ohm impedance, 1 GHz maximum frequency) and mechanical parameters (through-hole solder termination, snap-on fastening) ensure direct functional replacement in existing circuit designs.

• Export Classification Consistency: Both parts share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS classifications, maintaining consistent regulatory treatment in procurement and logistics workflows.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MSS-R-PC(40) be used as a direct replacement for MSS-R-PC(41) in existing designs?

A: Yes. The MSS-R-PC(40) is functionally equivalent to the MSS-R-PC(41) across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters, including impedance, connector type, termination method, and mounting configuration. The parts share identical base product designation (MSS-R) and compliance certifications.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: The MSS-R-PC(41) is designated as obsolete. The MSS-R-PC(40) is the active production equivalent, ensuring continued supply availability for new builds and field replacements.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The MSS-R-PC(41) packaging specification is not provided in the technical data. The MSS-R-PC(40) is supplied in bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement specification.

Q: Do both parts meet the same environmental and compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both the MSS-R-PC(41) and MSS-R-PC(40) are ROHS3 compliant with MSL rating 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity level), ensuring equivalent performance in regulated applications.

Q: What is the maximum operating frequency for this connector?

A: The MSS-R-PC(40) is rated to 1 GHz maximum frequency. This specification applies to the active substitute part.

Q: Are there any differences in contact material or plating?

A: The MSS-R-PC(40) specifies beryllium copper center contacts with gold plating and a brass body with gold finish. These material specifications are provided for the active substitute part; equivalent specifications for the obsolete MSS-R-PC(41) are not documented.
