Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the PHEC40P-SC11LF is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Position Count: Must be a 40-position plug connector
• Row Configuration: Must maintain 2-row arrangement
• Mounting Method: Must support through-hole mounting
• Termination Type: Must use solder termination
• Connector Style: Must feature center strip contacts
• Contact Finish: Must have gold plating
• Electrical Category: Must be classified as D-Sub, D-Shaped Connectors

The substitute part 5-5175473-5 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors) meets all these criteria, making it functionally equivalent for applications requiring the PHEC40P-SC11LF specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the PHEC40P-SC11LF and 5-5175473-5 are active production components with identical export classifications (EAR99) and tariff codes. The 5-5175473-5 carries RoHS Compliance certification, providing additional environmental regulatory alignment for applications subject to RoHS requirements. Both connectors maintain MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings, indicating no special storage or handling requirements. Selection between these parts should be based on supply availability, cost considerations, and specific RoHS compliance mandates applicable to the end application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5-5175473-5 directly replace the PHEC40P-SC11LF in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical electrical and mechanical specifications for position count, row configuration, mounting type, termination method, and contact finish. The connectors are functionally equivalent for through-hole solder applications.

Q: What is the difference in contact finish thickness between these parts?

A: The PHEC40P-SC11LF has a contact finish thickness of 3.94µin (0.10µm), while the 5-5175473-5 has 30.0µin (0.76µm). Both gold finishes meet the specified electrical and mechanical requirements for D-Sub connectors.

Q: Does the 5-5175473-5 have any compliance advantages?

A: The 5-5175473-5 is RoHS Compliant, which may be required for applications subject to RoHS directives. The PHEC40P-SC11LF RoHS status is not specified in the provided data.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these connectors?

A: Packaging information for the 5-5175473-5 is not specified in the provided data. Verify packaging requirements with the supplier before procurement.

Q: What is the board-to-board designation on the 5-5175473-5?

A: The 5-5175473-5 is designated as a board-to-board connector with board lock features. This does not affect its compatibility as a substitute for the PHEC40P-SC11LF in standard through-hole solder applications.
