Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the P08-020-SLTM-A-G is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

  • Manufacturer and series consistency (3M P08 series)
  • Electrical interface: 20 positions, 2 rows, 0.031" (0.80mm) pitch
  • Mechanical form factor: Socket with outer shroud contacts, surface mount configuration
  • Contact specifications: Gold finish at 8.00µin (0.203µm) thickness
  • Physical dimensions: 0.087" (2.20mm) height above board, compatible mated stacking heights (3mm, 4mm, 5mm)
  • Compliance requirements: RoHS compliant, MSL 1

The P08-020SLT-A-G meets all specified parameters and represents an active product status alternative within the same manufacturer series.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The P08-020SLT-A-G is the direct equivalent for the obsolete P08-020-SLTM-A-G. Both components maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications within the 3M P08 rectangular connector series. The substitute part carries active product status, ensuring continued availability and manufacturing support. Both parts satisfy RoHS compliance requirements and MSL 1 classification, supporting unrestricted moisture exposure conditions. Selection of the active equivalent part eliminates obsolescence risk while maintaining full interface compatibility with existing designs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What determines compatibility between P08-020-SLTM-A-G and P08-020SLT-A-G?

A: Compatibility is established through identical electrical interface (20 positions, 0.031" pitch, 2 rows), mechanical form factor (socket with outer shroud contacts, surface mount), contact specifications (gold finish, 8.00µin thickness), and physical dimensions (0.087" height above board, 3mm/4mm/5mm mated stacking heights).

Q: Why is the substitute part recommended despite the main part being in stock?

A: The main part carries obsolete product status. The substitute maintains active status, ensuring long-term availability, manufacturing continuity, and compliance support. Obsolete parts present supply chain risk for future production requirements.

Q: Are there packaging or MSL considerations for substitution?

A: Both parts carry MSL 1 classification, indicating unlimited moisture sensitivity protection. No special handling or storage restrictions apply to either component. Packaging specifications were not provided in the technical data.

Q: Can the P08-020SLT-A-G be used in existing designs without modification?

A: Yes. The substitute part maintains full parametric equivalence across all specified electrical, mechanical, and compliance parameters. No design modifications are required for direct substitution.
