P08-026SLC-A-G Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The P08-026SLC-A-G is a 26-position rectangular connector socket manufactured by 3M, designed for surface mount applications with outer shroud contacts and gold plating. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of suitable substitute parts essential for ongoing production and maintenance requirements. The P08 series provides standardized rectangular connector solutions with consistent electrical and mechanical interfaces across product variants.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the P08-026SLC-A-G is determined by the following critical parameters that must remain constant:

• Manufacturer: 3M
• Connector Type: Socket, Outer Shroud Contacts
• Number of Positions: 26
• Pitch: 0.031" (0.80mm)
• Number of Rows: 2
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Contact Finish: Gold
• Contact Finish Thickness: 8.00µin (0.203µm)
• Features: Board Guide
• Base Product Number: P08
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

The P08-026SLC-B-G qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical values across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary difference between these parts is the mated stacking height specification and product status classification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The P08-026SLC-B-G is the designated substitute for the obsolete P08-026SLC-A-G. Both components maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications for connector position count, pitch, contact finish, and mounting configuration. The P08-026SLC-B-G carries active product status and RoHS compliance certification, providing assurance of continued availability and regulatory alignment for new designs and production continuity.

The primary design consideration is the difference in mated stacking height and height above board. The P08-026SLC-B-G accommodates taller stacking heights (6mm, 7mm, 8mm) and presents a greater height above board (0.205" versus 0.087"). PCB layout and mechanical clearance requirements must be evaluated to confirm compatibility with the substitute part in the target application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the P08-026SLC-B-G be used as a direct replacement for the P08-026SLC-A-G?

A: The P08-026SLC-B-G is electrically and mechanically compatible based on identical connector position count, pitch, contact finish, and mounting type. The primary design difference is the increased height above board (0.205" versus 0.087"). Verify that PCB layout and mechanical clearance accommodate the taller profile before implementation.

Q: What is the significance of the different mated stacking heights?

A: Mated stacking height defines the vertical distance when the connector socket is mated with its corresponding plug. The P08-026SLC-A-G supports 3mm, 4mm, and 5mm stacking heights, while the P08-026SLC-B-G supports 6mm, 7mm, and 8mm. Confirm that the mating plug connector is compatible with the substitute part's stacking height range.

Q: Why is the P08-026SLC-A-G classified as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates that the manufacturer has discontinued production. The P08-026SLC-B-G, with active product status, represents the current production equivalent within the P08 series.

Q: Does the P08-026SLC-B-G meet RoHS compliance requirements?

A: Yes, the P08-026SLC-B-G is RoHS compliant. The original P08-026SLC-A-G does not specify RoHS status in available documentation.

Q: Are there any differences in moisture sensitivity between these parts?

A: Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.
