Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution between P08-030SLTC-A-G and P08-030SLT-A-G is based on identical electrical and mechanical parameters across all critical dimensions and specifications. Both parts share the same base product number (P08), connector configuration, contact arrangement, and physical footprint. The substitution is valid because the following parameters are identical:

  • Number of positions: 30
  • Pitch spacing: 0.031" (0.80mm)
  • Row configuration: 2 rows
  • Mounting method: Surface Mount
  • Contact finish and thickness: Gold, 8.00µin
  • Height above board: 0.087" (2.20mm)
  • Mated stacking heights: 3mm, 4mm, 5mm
  • Board guide feature presence
  • Moisture sensitivity level: MSL 1

The primary distinction is product status: P08-030SLTC-A-G is obsolete, while P08-030SLT-A-G maintains active status with RoHS compliance certification.
