Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the S-2408-HSB are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical compatibility criteria. The following parameters must match or remain functionally equivalent:

• Connector type: Socket, Jones
• Number of positions: 8
• Mounting configuration: Panel mount
• Number of rows: 2
• Termination method: Solder eyelet(s)
• Voltage rating: 250 V minimum
• Current rating: 15 A minimum
• Operating temperature: 105°C minimum
• Series compatibility: 2400 series
• Material and finish specifications for contact and insulation

The S-2408-AB meets these criteria as a direct substitute, with the primary difference being contact finish material (cadmium versus tin) and active product status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The S-2408-AB serves as a direct functional substitute for the obsolete S-2408-HSB. Both parts maintain identical electrical ratings (250 V, 15 A), mechanical configuration (8-position, 2-row, panel mount), and termination method (solder eyelet). The S-2408-AB is currently in active production status with 947 units available in inventory, providing supply continuity for applications requiring this connector type.

The primary distinction between these parts is the contact finish specification: tin finish on the S-2408-HSB versus cadmium finish on the S-2408-AB. Both finishes are applied to phosphor bronze contacts and meet RoHS compliance requirements. The S-2408-AB's active product status ensures long-term availability and support compared to the obsolete S-2408-HSB.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the S-2408-AB directly replace the S-2408-HSB in existing applications?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical electrical ratings, mechanical dimensions, mounting configuration, and termination specifications. The S-2408-AB is electrically and mechanically compatible with applications designed for the S-2408-HSB.

Q: What is the difference between tin and cadmium contact finishes?

A: Both finishes are applied to the same phosphor bronze contact material. Tin and cadmium finishes provide corrosion resistance and electrical conductivity. The choice between them depends on specific application requirements and environmental conditions.

Q: Is the S-2408-AB RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The S-2408-AB is RoHS compliant, matching the compliance status of the S-2408-HSB.

Q: What is the current inventory status for the S-2408-AB?

A: 947 units of the S-2408-AB are available as new original stock.

Q: Are both connectors rated for the same voltage and current?

A: Yes. Both the S-2408-HSB and S-2408-AB are rated for 250 V and 15 A, with an operating temperature range up to 105°C.

Q: What mounting configuration do these connectors use?

A: Both connectors are panel mount with a 2-row, 8-position configuration and feature a flange for secure mounting.
