Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the PRT-00116 are qualified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional equivalence:

Connector Type: Header, Breakaway configuration Contact Type: Male Pin Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm) Number of Positions: 40 Number of Rows: 1 Mounting Type: Through Hole Termination: Solder Style: Board to Board Shrouding: Unshrouded Fastening Type: Push-Pull Regulatory Compliance: RoHS3 Compliant, MSL 1

The identified substitutes—HDR100IMP40M-G-V-TH (Chip Quik Inc.) and PRPC040SAAN-RC (Sullins Connector Solutions)—share these core specifications, enabling direct functional replacement in applications requiring 40-position, 2.54mm pitch breakaway headers with through-hole solder termination.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts maintain Active product status and full RoHS3 compliance with MSL 1 rating, confirming regulatory equivalence for applications requiring unrestricted moisture exposure handling.

HDR100IMP40M-G-V-TH (Chip Quik Inc., Proto-Advantage Series): This substitute provides gold-plated mating and post contacts with standardized 2.54mm pitch configuration. Inventory availability of 2090 units supports consistent supply for production requirements.

PRPC040SAAN-RC (Sullins Connector Solutions): This substitute offers additional technical documentation including operating temperature range (-40°C to 105°C), current rating (3A per contact), UL94 V-0 flammability rating, and material specifications (brass contacts, PBT insulation, black color). Contact finish thickness is specified as flash plating. Inventory availability of 37802 units provides extended supply security. The base product number PRPC040 enables cross-reference within the Sullins product family.

Both substitutes are functionally equivalent to the PRT-00116 for 40-position, 2.54mm pitch through-hole breakaway header applications with solder termination.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What defines functional equivalence for the PRT-00116 breakaway header?

A: Functional equivalence is established through matching specifications: 40-position configuration, 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch, male pin contact type, through-hole solder termination, unshrouded breakaway header design, and push-pull fastening. All three parts meet these criteria.

Q: Are the substitute parts directly interchangeable with the PRT-00116?

A: Yes. The HDR100IMP40M-G-V-TH and PRPC040SAAN-RC share identical core electrical and mechanical parameters with the PRT-00116, including connector type, contact configuration, pitch, position count, mounting method, and termination style. Physical dimensions and contact geometry are compatible for board-level integration.

Q: What is the significance of the 2.54mm pitch specification?

A: The 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch is the standard spacing between adjacent contact positions. This specification ensures mechanical and electrical compatibility with mating connectors, PCB footprints, and associated hardware designed for this industry-standard pitch.

Q: How do contact finish specifications affect part selection?

A: The HDR100IMP40M-G-V-TH and PRPC040SAAN-RC both specify gold plating on mating and post contacts, providing corrosion resistance and reliable electrical contact. The PRT-00116 contact finish details are not provided in available documentation.

Q: What does MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating indicate?

A: MSL 1 rating indicates the component requires no special moisture control during storage, handling, or assembly. All three parts carry this rating, eliminating moisture-related constraints for manufacturing and logistics.

Q: Are there differences in operating temperature specifications?

A: The PRPC040SAAN-RC specifies an operating temperature range of -40°C to 105°C. Operating temperature specifications for the PRT-00116 and HDR100IMP40M-G-V-TH are not provided in available documentation.

Q: What is the significance of the UL94 V-0 flammability rating on the PRPC040SAAN-RC?

A: UL94 V-0 rating indicates the insulation material (PBT) meets stringent flammability standards, self-extinguishing within specified time limits. This certification is relevant for applications requiring compliance with fire safety standards.

Q: How do current ratings affect component selection?

A: The PRPC040SAAN-RC specifies a 3A per-contact current rating. Current rating specifications for the PRT-00116 and HDR100IMP40M-G-V-TH are not provided. Applications requiring current specifications should reference the PRPC040SAAN-RC datasheet or contact manufacturers for the other parts.

Q: What packaging format is used for these parts?

A: All three parts are supplied in Bulk packaging, suitable for production assembly and component procurement workflows.

Q: How do inventory levels affect procurement decisions?

A: Current inventory availability is 733 units (PRT-00116), 2090 units (HDR100IMP40M-G-V-TH), and 37802 units (PRPC040SAAN-RC). Higher inventory levels for the PRPC040SAAN-RC provide extended supply security for high-volume production requirements.
