Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the P08-040PLTC-C-G is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

• Connector Type & Configuration: Plug with center strip contacts, dual-row arrangement
• Electrical Interface: 40 positions at 0.031" (0.80mm) pitch
• Mounting Technology: Surface mount with board guide feature
• Contact Material & Finish: Gold plating at 8.00µin thickness
• Environmental Classification: MSL 1 rating

The substitute part 61083-041402LF meets all these criteria, providing functional and mechanical compatibility with the original P08-040PLTC-C-G specification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 61083-041402LF from Amphenol ICC (FCI) is the qualified substitute for the obsolete P08-040PLTC-C-G. Selection of this alternative is supported by:

• Functional Equivalence: Identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters
