PC96-56-60-3.0 Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The PC96-56-60-3.0 is a non-silicone thermal interface material manufactured by t-Global Technology with dimensions of 56×60×3mm. This component is classified as obsolete, indicating that direct procurement from the original manufacturer may be limited or unavailable. The product maintains RoHS compliance and carries an MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), making it suitable for applications requiring thermal management without moisture sensitivity constraints.

Given the obsolete status, identifying equivalent alternatives becomes necessary for ongoing production support, maintenance, and new design implementations where this thermal interface specification is required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the PC96-56-60-3.0 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Dimensional Compatibility: Exact or functionally equivalent dimensions (56×60×3mm or within standard tolerance ranges for thermal interface materials)
• Material Type: Non-silicone composition to maintain chemical compatibility with target substrates
• Thermal Interface Classification: Products serving equivalent thermal management functions
• Compliance Requirements: RoHS compliance and MSL rating of 1 or better
• Regulatory Classification: ECCN EAR99 or equivalent export classification

Currently, no substitute parts meeting all specified criteria are available in the provided dataset. Any future substitution candidates must satisfy all parameters listed above to ensure functional and regulatory equivalence.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For applications currently specified with PC96-56-60-3.0, the following approach is recommended:

1. Direct Sourcing: Verify availability through authorized t-Global Technology distributors, as legacy inventory may remain available despite obsolete classification.

2. Specification Review: Confirm that the 56×60×3mm non-silicone thermal interface is the optimal choice for your thermal management requirements. Document the thermal conductivity, compressibility, and operating temperature range specifications if available.

3. Future Substitution: When substitute parts become necessary, ensure candidates meet all parameters: identical dimensions, non-silicone composition, RoHS compliance, MSL 1 rating, and EAR99 classification.

4. Compliance Verification: Any replacement component must maintain RoHS compliance and equivalent export classification to ensure regulatory continuity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Why is PC96-56-60-3.0 listed as obsolete? A: Obsolete status indicates the manufacturer has discontinued active production. However, existing inventory may still be available through authorized distributors.

Q: What makes a part a valid substitute for PC96-56-60-3.0? A: A valid substitute must match the following criteria: 56×60×3mm dimensions, non-silicone material composition, RoHS compliance, MSL 1 rating, and EAR99 export classification.

Q: Can I use a silicone-based thermal interface as a substitute? A: No. The PC96-56-60-3.0 is specifically non-silicone. Silicone-based alternatives may have different chemical compatibility and performance characteristics unsuitable for this application.

Q: Does MSL 1 (Unlimited) affect substitution criteria? A: Yes. MSL 1 indicates no moisture sensitivity constraints. Substitute parts must maintain this rating or better to ensure equivalent reliability.

Q: How do I verify RoHS compliance for a potential substitute? A: Request the RoHS certification documentation from the supplier. Ensure the certificate covers all materials and components within the thermal interface product.
