P08-080-HLTC-E-G Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The P08-080-HLTC-E-G is an 80-position self-mating, non-gendered hermaphroditic rectangular connector manufactured by 3M. This surface mount connector features gold plating and is designed for applications requiring board-guided, self-mating connectivity. The product is currently obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for ongoing system support, maintenance, and new design implementations where legacy compatibility is required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the P08-080-HLTC-E-G is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type must be self-mating, non-gendered, and hermaphroditic
• Position count must be 80
• Pitch specification must be 0.031" (0.80mm)
• Row configuration must be 2 rows
• Mounting technology must be surface mount
• Contact finish must be gold
• Moisture sensitivity level must be 1 (Unlimited)

The LSEM-140-03.0-L-DV-A-N-K-TR from Samtec Inc. meets all these core electrical and mechanical requirements, establishing it as a direct functional equivalent. While secondary parameters such as stacking height and height above board differ, these variations remain within acceptable tolerance ranges for connector interchangeability in self-mating applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The LSEM-140-03.0-L-DV-A-N-K-TR is the qualified substitute for the P08-080-HLTC-E-G based on the following factors:

All critical electrical and mechanical parameters are equivalent, including connector topology, position count, pitch, row configuration, mounting method, and contact finish specification.

The substitute part is currently in active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity. The original P08-080-HLTC-E-G is obsolete and subject to inventory depletion.

The LSEM-140-03.0-L-DV-A-N-K-TR carries ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting modern regulatory requirements. Both parts share identical moisture sensitivity classification and ECCN/HTSUS coding.

The substitute offers improved contact finish thickness (10.0µin versus 8.00µin) and multiple mated stacking height options, providing enhanced design flexibility. The reduced height above board (4.45mm versus 8.35mm) may require PCB layout evaluation in space-constrained applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What makes the LSEM-140-03.0-L-DV-A-N-K-TR a valid substitute for the P08-080-HLTC-E-G?

A: Both connectors share identical core specifications: 80-position self-mating hermaphroditic topology, 0.031" (0.80mm) pitch, 2-row configuration, surface mount technology, and gold contact finish. These parameters define functional equivalence for rectangular connector applications.

Q: Are there any physical differences I should consider during PCB redesign?

A: The substitute part has a lower profile above the board (4.45mm versus 8.35mm) and offers variable mated stacking heights (6mm, 7mm, 9mm options versus fixed 11.5mm). PCB layout and component clearance must be re-evaluated to accommodate these dimensional changes.

Q: Does the substitute part meet current regulatory standards?

A: Yes. The LSEM-140-03.0-L-DV-A-N-K-TR is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. Both parts share identical moisture sensitivity level (1 - Unlimited) and ECCN/HTSUS classifications.

Q: What is the packaging format for the substitute part?

A: The LSEM-140-03.0-L-DV-A-N-K-TR is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, suitable for automated assembly processes.

Q: Is the contact finish thickness difference significant?

A: The substitute provides 10.0µin (0.25µm) gold plating versus 8.00µin (0.203µm) on the original part. This represents improved contact durability and is not a limiting factor for substitution.
