Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MXR-8R-8SA(71) serves as the direct substitute for the obsolete MXR-8R-8SA. This variant provides identical mechanical and functional interface compatibility while offering improved material specifications and regulatory compliance.

Key selection factors:

• The MXR-8R-8SA(71) achieves RoHS compliance, addressing regulatory requirements for new designs and manufacturing environments subject to RoHS directives.
• Product status transitions from obsolete to last time buy, providing a defined procurement window for inventory planning.
• Enhanced specifications include defined shell material (aluminum alloy with nickel finish), contact materials (phosphor bronze with gold plating), and electrical ratings (2A at 100VAC/140VDC).
• Both parts maintain identical MSL classification (1, unlimited), ensuring equivalent handling and storage requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MXR-8R-8SA(71) be used as a direct replacement for MXR-8R-8SA?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain identical mechanical interfaces, pin configurations, mounting methods, and solder termination compatibility. The MXR-8R-8SA(71) provides enhanced material specifications and regulatory compliance without requiring design modifications.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The MXR-8R-8SA(71) provides fully specified material compositions, contact finishes, and electrical ratings that were not documented for the original MXR-8R-8SA. Additionally, the substitute achieves RoHS compliance status.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The MXR-8R-8SA(71) is supplied in tray packaging. Original packaging specifications for MXR-8R-8SA were not provided in the component data.

Q: What is the significance of the product status change from obsolete to last time buy?

A: Last time buy status indicates a defined final procurement period before the part is discontinued. This allows for planned inventory acquisition and transition to alternative components if necessary.

Q: Do both parts have the same moisture sensitivity requirements?

A: Yes. Both parts are classified as MSL 1 (unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage, handling, or reflow processes.

Q: Are there any compliance or regulatory differences?

A: The MXR-8R-8SA(71) is RoHS compliant, making it suitable for applications and markets requiring RoHS certification. The original MXR-8R-8SA is RoHS non-compliant.
