Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the PCN10C-64ACS-2.54DSA(72) is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Manufacturer: Hirose Electric Co Ltd
• Series: PCN10
• Connector Type: Receptacle, Female Sockets
• Number of Positions: 64
• Pitch: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Number of Rows: 2
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Termination: Solder
• Contact Finish: Gold
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 85°C
• Current Rating: 2A
• Material - Insulation: Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT)
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
• RoHS Status: RoHS Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

The PCN10C-64ACS-2.54DSA(52) meets all mandatory matching parameters and qualifies as a direct substitute. The primary distinction is product status: the original part is obsolete, while the substitute is active and currently in production.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The PCN10C-64ACS-2.54DSA(52) is the direct substitute for the obsolete PCN10C-64ACS-2.54DSA(72). Both components maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including connector configuration, contact rating, temperature range, and material composition. The substitute part is RoHS compliant and carries UL94 V-0 flammability certification, meeting the same regulatory and compliance requirements as the original part. The transition from obsolete to active product status ensures continued availability and manufacturing support for this connector series.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the PCN10C-64ACS-2.54DSA(72) and PCN10C-64ACS-2.54DSA(52) electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts are 64-position DIN receptacles with identical electrical specifications: 2A current rating, gold-plated contacts, -55°C to 85°C operating temperature range, and equivalent insulation material (PBT, UL94 V-0).

Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers?

A: The primary difference is product status. The PCN10C-64ACS-2.54DSA(72) is obsolete, while the PCN10C-64ACS-2.54DSA(52) is active. The suffix designation (72 vs. 52) reflects manufacturing or packaging variants within the same electrical and mechanical family.

Q: Can I use the substitute part in existing designs without PCB layout modifications?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical pitch (0.100"/2.54mm), row configuration (2 rows), mounting type (through-hole), and termination method (solder). PCB footprints and assembly processes remain unchanged.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the PCN10C-64ACS-2.54DSA(72) and PCN10C-64ACS-2.54DSA(52) are RoHS compliant and carry UL94 V-0 flammability certification.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these connectors?

A: Both parts have MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.
