PC-1628 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PC-1628 is a 28-position rectangular connector housing manufactured by Hirose Electric Co Ltd, part of the Sumicon 1600 series. This plug housing is designed for free-hanging in-line mounting with crimp contact termination and features a flanged design with resin insulation. The main part is classified as obsolete, making identification of suitable substitutes essential for ongoing system maintenance and component procurement.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the PC-1628 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Plug)
• Contact type (Male Pin)
• Number of positions (28)
• Number of rows (3)
• Mounting type (Free Hanging In-Line)
• Contact termination method (Crimp)
• Flanged design
• Resin insulation material
• MSL rating (1 - Unlimited)
• Manufacturer series (Sumicon 1600)

The PC-1628(10) variant meets all these criteria and is therefore classified as a direct substitute. The only difference between the main part and the substitute is the connector color (blue versus black) and product status (obsolete versus active).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The PC-1628(10) is the direct substitute for the obsolete PC-1628. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications within the Sumicon 1600 series. The substitute is currently in active production status with higher inventory availability (1075 pcs versus 721 pcs for the main part). The PC-1628(10) carries RoHS compliance certification, providing additional regulatory assurance for new designs and procurement cycles. Color differentiation (black versus blue) is the only functional distinction and should be evaluated based on system-specific requirements or design documentation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can PC-1628(10) be used as a direct replacement for PC-1628?

A: Yes. Both parts are identical in electrical and mechanical specifications, including connector type, contact configuration, position count, row arrangement, mounting method, and termination type. The only differences are color and product status.

Q: Does the color difference (blue to black) affect compatibility?

A: Color is a cosmetic attribute and does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. Selection should be based on system design requirements or documentation specifications.

Q: What is the significance of the RoHS compliance on PC-1628(10)?

A: RoHS compliance indicates the substitute part meets Restriction of Hazardous Substances regulations. This is relevant for applications subject to environmental or regulatory compliance requirements.

Q: Are contacts included with these connector housings?

A: No. Both the main part and substitute are housings only. Contacts must be procured separately and crimped into the housing.

Q: Why is PC-1628 classified as obsolete?

A: Obsolescence status indicates the part is no longer in active production. The PC-1628(10) substitute is actively manufactured and represents the current equivalent offering from Hirose Electric Co Ltd.

Q: What is MSL 1 (Unlimited)?

A: MSL 1 indicates the lowest moisture sensitivity level, meaning the component has unlimited shelf life under standard storage conditions and requires no special moisture control during handling or storage.
