Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the PT01E-8-4S is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Number of Positions: Must be 4
• Shell Size - Insert: Must be 8-4
• Connector Type: Receptacle configuration
• Category: Circular Connectors

The substitute part MSW01E8-4S meets these core requirements. Both parts share identical position count (4) and shell size designation (8-4), with matching receptacle configuration. Both are classified as circular connectors and maintain Active product status, confirming functional compatibility within the specified parameter constraints.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both PT01E-8-4S and MSW01E8-4S maintain Active product status, confirming ongoing manufacturer support and availability. The MSW01E8-4S is classified as RoHS non-compliant, which may impact suitability depending on application requirements and regulatory constraints.

Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Compliance requirements (RoHS status)
• Packaging format preference (Bulk versus Bag)
• Availability windows and inventory levels
• Specific electrical and mechanical requirements of the end application

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What makes MSW01E8-4S a valid substitute for PT01E-8-4S?

A: Both parts share the critical substitution parameters: 4-position configuration and 8-4 shell size designation. Both are circular connector receptacles with Active product status.

Q: Are there differences in packaging between these parts?

A: Yes. PT01E-8-4S is supplied in Bulk packaging, while MSW01E8-4S is supplied in Bag packaging. This distinction may affect handling, storage, and ordering procedures.

Q: What is the inventory status for each part?

A: PT01E-8-4S has 753 units in stock. MSW01E8-4S has 773 units in stock. Both are available as new original components.

Q: Does RoHS compliance differ between these parts?

A: Yes. MSW01E8-4S is RoHS non-compliant. Applications requiring RoHS compliance should verify compatibility before selection.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in all applications?

A: Substitution validity depends on the specific electrical, mechanical, and regulatory requirements of the application. The core position and shell size parameters are matched; however, additional specifications such as current rating, voltage rating, and operating temperature must be evaluated against application requirements.
