Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the P08-060SLC-A-G is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Configuration: Socket with outer shroud contacts
• Electrical Specifications: 60 positions at 0.031" (0.80mm) pitch, 2-row configuration
• Mounting Technology: Surface mount with board guide feature
• Contact Material & Finish: Gold plating at 8.00µin (0.203µm) thickness
• Environmental Rating: Moisture Sensitivity Level 1

The P08-060SLC-B-G meets all substitution criteria as a direct equivalent within the P08 series. The primary distinction lies in product status (active versus obsolete) and mated stacking height specifications, which reflect design iterations within the same connector family while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The P08-060SLC-B-G is the designated manufacturer substitute for the obsolete P08-060SLC-A-G. Both components maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters including position count, pitch, contact geometry, and finish specifications.

Selection of the P08-060SLC-B-G is supported by its active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability. The substitute part carries RoHS compliance certification, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing and assembly.

The difference in mated stacking heights (3-5mm for the original versus 6-8mm for the substitute) and height above board (0.087" versus 0.205") reflects design evolution within the P08 series. These dimensional variations must be evaluated against specific application requirements, particularly in space-constrained assemblies or where connector height impacts overall product form factor.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are P08-060SLC-A-G and P08-060SLC-B-G electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both components maintain identical electrical specifications: 60 positions, 0.031" (0.80mm) pitch, 2-row configuration, and gold contact finish at 8.00µin thickness. Electrical performance and signal integrity characteristics are equivalent.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: The P08-060SLC-A-G is classified as obsolete. The P08-060SLC-B-G is the active equivalent within the P08 series, ensuring continued component availability and supply chain support.

Q: Do the different mated stacking heights affect compatibility?

A: Mated stacking heights (3-5mm versus 6-8mm) and height above board (0.087" versus 0.205") are design specifications that must be verified against your specific application requirements. These dimensions may impact PCB layout, enclosure design, and connector mating depth. Confirm compatibility with your mating connector specifications before implementation.

Q: Is RoHS compliance a factor in substitution?

A: The P08-060SLC-B-G carries RoHS compliance certification. If your application or regulatory environment requires RoHS-compliant components, the substitute part meets this requirement. The original part's RoHS status is not specified in available documentation.

Q: Are there any moisture sensitivity considerations?

A: Both components carry Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. Standard handling and storage practices apply.

Q: What is the inventory status for these parts?

A: The P08-060SLC-A-G has 720 pieces in stock as new original inventory. The P08-060SLC-B-G has 724 pieces in stock as new original inventory.
