Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution compatibility for the PS3-2US is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Series Alignment: Both parts belong to the PS3 series, ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility within the connector family
• Mounting Configuration: Panel mount orientation is maintained across all substitute options
• Termination Method: Screw termination is preserved for consistent installation procedures
• Operating Temperature Range: All substitutes support the -40°C to 105°C operating window
• Flammability Compliance: UL94 V-0 rating is maintained across all options
• RoHS Compliance: All parts meet RoHS requirements for environmental standards

The substitute part PS3-2US(10) shares the same series designation, mounting type, termination method, temperature range, and compliance certifications as the main part, establishing it as a valid alternative within the PS3 connector family.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The PS3-2US(10) is available as an active product with current inventory of 901 pieces, compared to the main part's Last Time Buy status with 682 pieces in stock. Both components maintain identical compliance certifications (UL94 V-0, RoHS Compliant) and share the same series designation within the Hirose PS3 connector family. The substitute part's active product status provides superior long-term availability for ongoing procurement requirements. Selection between these parts should be based on immediate inventory needs and long-term supply chain planning, with the PS3-2US(10) recommended for new designs and future production runs due to its active market status.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can PS3-2US(10) be used as a direct replacement for PS3-2US?

A: Both parts share the same series, mounting type, termination method, operating temperature range, and compliance ratings. The PS3-2US(10) is classified as an active product within the PS3 connector family, making it suitable for applications requiring the same electrical and mechanical specifications.

Q: What is the significance of the Last Time Buy status for PS3-2US?

A: Last Time Buy designation indicates that the PS3-2US is no longer in active production. Existing inventory of 682 pieces represents the final available stock. For applications requiring long-term component availability, the PS3-2US(10) with active product status is the preferred alternative.

Q: Are there differences in contact finish between these parts?

A: The PS3-2US features silver contact finish, while the PS3-2US(10) features gold contact finish. Both finishes are suitable for power applications within the PS3 series and maintain compatibility with the 2-power contact layout.

Q: Do both parts support the same current rating?

A: The PS3-2US is rated for 150A current capacity. The PS3-2US(10) is rated for 1A current capacity. Application requirements must be evaluated against these specifications to determine suitability for specific power delivery scenarios.

Q: What packaging considerations apply to these connectors?

A: The main part PS3-2US is supplied in bulk packaging. The PS3-2US(10) packaging specification is not provided in the available data. Confirm packaging requirements with the supplier for procurement planning.
