PRT-00115 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PRT-00115 is a 40-position female header connector manufactured by SparkFun Electronics, designed for board-to-board applications with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing. This through-hole component features solder termination and push-pull fastening, making it suitable for prototyping and production applications requiring reliable interconnection. The part is currently active in production status and maintains ROHS3 compliance with MSL 1 rating. Substitute parts are identified to provide alternative sourcing options when the primary part is unavailable or when specific contact finish requirements necessitate component alternatives.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the PRT-00115 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector Type: Header
• Contact Type: Female Socket
• Number of Positions: 40
• Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Number of Rows: 1
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Termination: Solder
• Fastening Type: Push-Pull
• Style: Board to Board
• Contact Shape: Square

Compliance Requirements:

• RoHS3 Compliance
• MSL 1 Rating

The substitute part HDR100IMP40F-G-V-TH from Chip Quik Inc. meets all mandatory matching parameters and maintains equivalent compliance certifications. The primary distinction is the contact finish specification: the substitute features gold plating on mating contacts, whereas the main part does not specify a contact finish material. Both parts are active in production status and suitable for direct substitution in applications where contact finish does not impose design constraints.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both PRT-00115 and HDR100IMP40F-G-V-TH are active production components with ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 ratings, establishing them as functionally equivalent for board-to-board header applications requiring 40-position, 0.100" pitch female socket connectors with through-hole solder termination.

Selection Criteria:

The PRT-00115 is the primary component specification and should be selected when sourcing from SparkFun Electronics inventory or when contact finish material is not a design requirement.

The HDR100IMP40F-G-V-TH substitute from Chip Quik Inc. is appropriate for applications where gold-plated mating contacts are specified or preferred for enhanced corrosion resistance and contact reliability. This part is available in higher inventory quantities and carries Proto-Advantage series designation.

Both parts satisfy identical electrical and mechanical interface requirements and are suitable for direct substitution without circuit redesign or PCB layout modification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can HDR100IMP40F-G-V-TH be used as a direct replacement for PRT-00115?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical connector type, contact type, position count, pitch spacing, row configuration, mounting method, termination type, fastening mechanism, and board-to-board style. The primary difference is the gold contact finish on the substitute part, which does not affect mechanical or electrical compatibility.

Q: What is the significance of the gold contact finish on the substitute part?

A: Gold plating on mating contacts provides enhanced corrosion resistance and improved contact reliability compared to unspecified contact finishes. This is a material upgrade that does not alter the physical or electrical interface.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both PRT-00115 and HDR100IMP40F-G-V-TH are ROHS3 compliant and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings, meeting equivalent environmental and regulatory standards.

Q: What is the difference in insulation height between the parts?

A: The substitute part specifies an insulation height of 0.335" (8.51mm), while the main part does not provide this specification. This dimension does not affect board-to-board compatibility and represents a documented physical characteristic of the substitute design.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts are mechanically and electrically interchangeable for applications requiring 40-position, 0.100" pitch female header connectors with through-hole solder termination. No circuit redesign or PCB layout modification is required for substitution.

Q: What is the contact length specification for the substitute part?

A: The HDR100IMP40F-G-V-TH specifies a contact length of 0.122" (3.10mm) on the post. This dimension is not provided for the main part but represents a standard mechanical characteristic that does not affect interface compatibility.
