Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

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

• Connector Type: Plug with center strip contacts
• Position Count: 80 positions
• Pitch Specification: 0.031" (0.80mm)
• Row Configuration: 2 rows
• Mounting Technology: Surface mount
• Contact Material: Gold plating at 8.00µin thickness
• Mechanical Interface: Board guide feature
• Environmental Rating: MSL 1 (Unlimited)

The substitute part 61083-081402LF meets all these criteria and is manufactured by Amphenol ICC (FCI) under the BergStak® 0.80mm series. This part maintains functional and mechanical compatibility while offering active product status and current availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 61083-081402LF serves as the direct functional equivalent to the obsolete P08-080PLTC-C-G. Selection of this substitute is based on:

Product Status: The original part is obsolete, while the substitute maintains active manufacturing status, ensuring long-term supply chain viability and continued technical support.

Compliance Certifications: The substitute part carries RoHS compliance and REACH affected status, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component procurement.

Mechanical Compatibility: Height above board measurements differ by 0.001" (0.02mm), which falls within standard PCB assembly tolerances and does not affect functional performance or mating characteristics.

Packaging Consideration: The substitute is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, suitable for automated assembly processes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 61083-081402LF directly replace the P08-080PLTC-C-G in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical connector type, position count, pitch, row configuration, mounting technology, contact finish specification, and board guide features. The 0.001" height variance is within standard assembly tolerances.

Q: What is the significance of the height above board difference?

A: The P08-080PLTC-C-G measures 0.186" (4.72mm) while the 61083-081402LF measures 0.185" (4.70mm). This 0.001" (0.02mm) difference is negligible for PCB design and does not affect connector mating or clearance requirements.

Q: Are there differences in mated stacking heights?

A: The original part supports 5mm and 8mm stacking heights. The substitute supports 5mm, 9mm, and 13mm stacking heights. Both support the 5mm configuration, ensuring compatibility for standard applications.

Q: What packaging format is the substitute supplied in?

A: The 61083-081402LF is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, optimized for automated surface mount assembly processes.

Q: Does the substitute meet current regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. The 61083-081402LF is RoHS compliant and REACH affected, meeting current environmental and regulatory standards for electronic component procurement.
