Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute components for the PK10M-080PP-TH3-DA must satisfy the following core electrical and mechanical parameters:

• 80-position connector configuration
• 0.039" (1.00mm) pitch spacing
• 2-row arrangement
• Plug connector type with center strip contacts
• Right-angle orientation
• Gold contact finish with flash thickness
• 0.382" (9.70mm) height above board
• Moisture Sensitivity Level 1

The primary distinction between the main part and available substitutes is the mounting technology. The original part employs through-hole mounting, while substitute options may utilize surface-mount technology. Both mounting approaches maintain identical electrical performance and physical envelope characteristics when mated with corresponding receptacle components.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The PK10M-080PP-SM3-DA serves as the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete PK10M-080PP-TH3-DA. Both components maintain identical electrical specifications, contact configuration, and physical envelope dimensions.

The substitute part offers the advantage of active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain support. The surface-mount variant incorporates RoHS compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing and distribution.

Selection between through-hole and surface-mount variants depends on printed circuit board design and assembly process requirements. The electrical and mechanical compatibility between these components remains constant across mounting technology differences.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the PK10M-080PP-SM3-DA replace the PK10M-080PP-TH3-DA in existing designs?

A: Electrical compatibility is maintained. The substitute part provides identical contact configuration, pitch spacing, and mating interface. PCB layout and assembly process modifications are required to accommodate surface-mount mounting technology in place of through-hole mounting.

Q: What are the key differences between these connector variants?

A: The primary difference is mounting technology. The original part uses through-hole mounting with solder retention and board lock features. The substitute uses surface-mount technology with solder retention and board guide features. Both maintain 80-position configuration, 0.039" pitch, and gold flash contact finish.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the main part and substitute?

A: The substitute part carries RoHS compliance and REACH unaffected status. The original part's compliance status is not specified in available documentation. Both components maintain Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 classification.

Q: Does the substitute part maintain the same physical envelope?

A: Yes. Both components share identical height above board measurement of 0.382" (9.70mm) and maintain the same mating interface dimensions. Physical envelope compatibility is preserved across the mounting technology transition.

Q: What is the inventory status for these components?

A: The original PK10M-080PP-TH3-DA has 702 pieces in stock with obsolete status. The substitute PK10M-080PP-SM3-DA has 811 pieces in stock with active product status, ensuring continued availability.
