SC-1624 Rectangular Connector Housing - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SC-1624 is a 24-position rectangular connector housing manufactured by Hirose Electric Co Ltd, part of the Sumicon 1600 series. This receptacle housing features female socket contacts, a 3-row configuration, and is designed for free-hanging in-line mounting with crimp termination. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives necessary for ongoing system support and component procurement.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SC-1624 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Receptacle)
• Contact type (Female Socket)
• Number of positions (24)
• Number of rows (3)
• Mounting type (Free Hanging In-Line)
• Contact termination method (Crimp)
• Insulation material (Resin)
• Presence of flange feature
• Series compatibility (Sumicon 1600)

The SC-1624(10) meets all substitution criteria. The only variation is color (Black vs. Blue) and product status (Active vs. Obsolete), neither of which affects electrical or mechanical compatibility for connector housing applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The SC-1624(10) is a direct functional equivalent to the SC-1624. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications within the Sumicon 1600 series. The SC-1624(10) is currently in active production status with confirmed RoHS compliance, whereas the original SC-1624 is obsolete. For new designs or component replenishment, the SC-1624(10) is the appropriate selection. The color difference (Black vs. Blue) does not impact connector performance or interchangeability. Current inventory of SC-1624(10) is 990 pieces.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SC-1624(10) be used as a direct replacement for SC-1624?

A: Yes. Both parts are 24-position, 3-row receptacle housings with female socket contacts, crimp termination, and flange features within the Sumicon 1600 series. All critical electrical and mechanical parameters are identical.

Q: Does the color difference affect compatibility?

A: No. Color is a cosmetic attribute and does not affect electrical performance, mechanical fit, or contact functionality.

Q: What is the significance of the product status difference?

A: The SC-1624 is obsolete and no longer manufactured. The SC-1624(10) is in active production, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain reliability.

Q: Is RoHS compliance a requirement for substitution?

A: RoHS compliance is a regulatory and environmental consideration. The SC-1624(10) is RoHS compliant, which may be required depending on application and regional regulations. The original SC-1624 RoHS status is not specified.

Q: Are contacts included with these housings?

A: No. Both the SC-1624 and SC-1624(10) are housings only. Contacts must be procured separately and crimped into the housing.

Q: What packaging is available?

A: The SC-1624(10) is supplied in bulk packaging, whereas the original SC-1624 packaging type is not specified.
