PCN10-64P-2.54DS Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PCN10-64P-2.54DS is a 64-position DIN connector header manufactured by Hirose Electric Co Ltd, designed for backplane applications with male pins, gold contact finish, and right-angle through-hole mounting. This part is classified as obsolete, making equivalent and substitute parts necessary for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations. The connector operates across a temperature range of -55°C to 85°C with a 2A current rating and UL94 V-0 flammability compliance.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the PCN10-64P-2.54DS is determined by the following critical parameters:

Connector Type: Must be Header with Male Pins
Position Count: Must be 64 positions
Pitch: Must be 0.100" (2.54mm)
Row Configuration: Must be 2 rows
Style: Must be Style B

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Hirose Equivalent: PCN10-64P-2.54DS(72) is the active production equivalent from the original manufacturer. This part maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications while offering RoHS3 compliance and improved availability compared to the obsolete original part number.

Amphenol ICC (FCI) Series 8609 Alternatives: The 86092645113 series parts provide active production alternatives with identical connector geometry and gold contact finish. These parts operate across an extended temperature range (-55°C to 125°C) and carry RoHS compliance. Current rating is specified at 1.5A, which is lower than the original 2A specification. Selection among the 8609 series variants depends on mounting style requirements (right-angle vs. straight) and insulation material preference (standard polyester thermoplastic vs. glass-filled variant).

HARTING DIN 41612 Alternative: Part 09021646951 provides a DIN 41612 compliant alternative with identical pitch and position count. This part is active and RoHS3 compliant but lacks specified contact finish and current rating parameters.

TE Connectivity Eurocard Series: Parts 6-1393644-3 and 6-1393644-6 are classified as plugs rather than headers, representing a different connector form factor. These parts are suitable only for applications where plug-type connectors are functionally equivalent to headers. Both offer extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C) and RoHS compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can PCN10-64P-2.54DS(72) be used as a direct replacement for the obsolete PCN10-64P-2.54DS?

A: Yes. PCN10-64P-2.54DS(72) maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications including connector type, position count, pitch, mounting style, and contact finish. The primary differences are product status (active vs. obsolete), packaging format (tray vs. unspecified), and RoHS compliance status (RoHS3 vs. non-compliant).

Q: What is the difference between header and plug connector types in this product category?

A: Headers have male pins that insert into a mating connector, while plugs have female receptacles that accept male pins from a mating header. The TE Connectivity parts (6-1393644-3 and 6-1393644-6) are plugs and require a compatible header for mating, whereas the primary part and most substitutes are headers.

Q: Why do Amphenol ICC parts specify 1.5A current rating instead of 2A?

A: Current rating specifications are determined by contact design and material properties. The 1.5A rating for Amphenol ICC parts reflects their specific contact geometry and materials. Applications requiring 2A current capacity should verify compatibility with the lower rating or select alternatives that specify 2A.

Q: Are there packaging considerations when selecting substitutes?

A: Yes. The original PCN10-64P-2.54DS packaging is unspecified, while PCN10-64P-2.54DS(72) is supplied in trays. HARTING 09021646951 is supplied in bulk. Amphenol ICC parts are supplied in trays. TE Connectivity parts are supplied in trays or bulk depending on part number. Packaging affects handling, storage, and procurement logistics but does not impact electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Which substitute offers the best compliance profile for new designs?

A: PCN10-64P-2.54DS(72) from Hirose offers RoHS3 compliance and maintains all original specifications. Amphenol ICC 8609 series parts offer RoHS compliance with extended temperature range. HARTING 09021646951 offers RoHS3 compliance. All active alternatives meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements. Selection depends on specific compliance requirements and temperature operating range needs.

Q: Can I use 86092645113745ELF instead of 86092645113745E1LF?

A: Both parts are functionally equivalent with identical electrical specifications. The primary difference is mounting type: 86092645113745E1LF specifies "Through Hole, Right Angle" while 86092645113745ELF specifies "Through Hole" without right-angle designation. Verify PCB layout compatibility with the specific mounting style before selection.
