Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the P50-030P-R1-TG is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type: Plug configuration with center strip contacts
• Position Count: 30-position arrangement
• Pitch Specification: 0.050" (1.27mm) contact spacing
• Row Configuration: 2-row layout
• Mounting Method: Through-hole PCB mounting
• Contact Material: Gold plating for signal integrity
• Mechanical Feature: Board lock mechanism for secure mating
• Moisture Sensitivity: MSL 1 rating for unlimited shelf life

The TX25-30P-8ST-H1E from JAE Electronics satisfies all substitution criteria. This part maintains functional and mechanical compatibility while offering active product status and improved compliance certifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TX25-30P-8ST-H1E serves as the direct functional equivalent for the obsolete P50-030P-R1-TG. Selection of the JAE Electronics substitute is supported by the following factors:

Product Status: The TX25-30P-8ST-H1E maintains active manufacturing status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity compared to the obsolete P50-030P-R1-TG.

Compliance Certifications: The substitute achieves ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, providing regulatory alignment for applications subject to environmental directives. The original part carries RoHS non-compliant designation.

Mechanical Compatibility: Both connectors share identical pitch, position count, row configuration, and board lock features. The TX25-30P-8ST-H1E height above board of 0.441" (11.20mm) differs from the original 0.530" (13.45mm), requiring PCB layout verification for clearance-critical applications.

Contact Finish: The substitute employs 4.00µin (0.100µm) gold plating versus the original 10.0µin (0.25µm), meeting industry standards for gold-plated connector contacts while reducing material cost.

Inventory Availability: The TX25-30P-8ST-H1E is available in higher quantities (2350 pcs) with tray packaging, supporting both prototype and production volume requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TX25-30P-8ST-H1E directly replace the P50-030P-R1-TG in existing designs?

A: Functional substitution is valid for all electrical and mating characteristics. Physical board layout must accommodate the 0.089" (2.25mm) reduction in height above board. Connector mating with existing receptacles is compatible based on identical pitch and position specifications.

Q: What is the significance of the contact finish thickness difference?

A: The TX25-30P-8ST-H1E employs 4.00µin gold plating, which meets industry contact durability standards for rectangular connectors. The original 10.0µin thickness provides additional wear resistance but is not required for standard electrical performance. Both thicknesses support equivalent signal integrity and mating cycle life.

Q: Does the TX25-30P-8ST-H1E support the same mating receptacles as the P50-030P-R1-TG?

A: Yes. Identical pitch (0.050"), position count (30), row configuration (2), and connector type (center strip contacts) ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility with receptacles designed for the original part.

Q: What packaging options are available for the TX25-30P-8ST-H1E?

A: The substitute is supplied in tray packaging, differing from the original part's unspecified packaging. Tray packaging is standard for rectangular connector distribution and supports both manual and automated assembly processes.

Q: Are there compliance considerations for switching to the TX25-30P-8ST-H1E?

A: The substitute achieves ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, providing regulatory advantage over the RoHS non-compliant original part. Applications subject to environmental directives benefit from this compliance upgrade.

Q: What is the mated stacking height capability of the TX25-30P-8ST-H1E?

A: The substitute supports mated stacking heights of 14mm, 18mm, and 20mm, enabling multi-connector stacking configurations. The original part does not specify stacking height capability.
