Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the P08-030SLC-A-G is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Configuration: Socket with outer shroud contacts
• Electrical Specifications: 30 positions, 0.031" (0.80mm) pitch, 2-row arrangement
• Physical Dimensions: Height above board (0.087"), mated stacking heights (3mm, 4mm, 5mm)
• Contact Properties: Gold finish at 8.00µin (0.203µm) thickness
• Mounting Technology: Surface mount with board guide feature
• Environmental Rating: MSL 1 (Unlimited)

The P08-030SL-A-G meets all these criteria and is classified as an active product, providing direct functional and mechanical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The P08-030SL-A-G is the direct substitute for the obsolete P08-030SLC-A-G. Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications within the P08 series. The substitute part maintains active product status with current manufacturing support and availability. The P08-030SL-A-G carries RoHS compliance certification, providing additional regulatory alignment for new designs and procurement cycles. Selection of the active substitute part eliminates obsolescence risk while preserving full functional compatibility with existing PCB layouts and mating connectors.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the P08-030SLC-A-G and P08-030SL-A-G mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical connector type, position count, pitch, row configuration, mounting method, and board-level dimensions. PCB footprints and mating connector interfaces are fully compatible.

Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers?

A: The primary difference is product status. The P08-030SLC-A-G is obsolete, while the P08-030SL-A-G is active. The substitute part includes RoHS compliance certification. All electrical and mechanical parameters are equivalent.

Q: Can I use the P08-030SL-A-G in designs originally specified for the P08-030SLC-A-G?

A: Yes. The substitute part meets all original specifications and provides direct replacement capability without design modification.

Q: What does the contact finish thickness of 8.00µin (0.203µm) indicate?

A: This specifies the gold plating thickness on the connector contacts, ensuring consistent electrical performance and corrosion resistance across both parts.

Q: Are there any environmental or storage differences between these parts?

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