Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the SEAF8-30-05.0-S-06-2 is based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence within the SEARAY™ SEAF series. The substitute part must maintain identical specifications across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type: High Density Array, Female
• Position count: 180 positions
• Pitch: 0.031" (0.80mm)
• Row configuration: 6 rows
• Mounting method: Surface Mount
• Contact finish: Gold at 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness
• Mated stacking heights: 7mm and 10mm options
• Height above board: 0.180" (4.57mm)
• Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture sensitivity: MSL 1 (Unlimited)

The SEAF8-30-05.0-S-06-3 meets all these requirements and is classified as an active product, making it suitable for direct substitution.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The SEAF8-30-05.0-S-06-3 is the direct substitute for the obsolete SEAF8-30-05.0-S-06-2. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including connector architecture, contact configuration, pitch, and physical dimensions. The substitute part is currently in active production status with confirmed inventory availability.

Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating, ensuring compatibility with current manufacturing and environmental standards. The SEAF8-30-05.0-S-06-3 includes a board guide feature, which provides additional mechanical stability during assembly and operation.

Selection of the SEAF8-30-05.0-S-06-3 is appropriate for new designs, production continuity, and field replacements where the original part number is no longer available.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the SEAF8-30-05.0-S-06-3 be used as a direct replacement for the SEAF8-30-05.0-S-06-2?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent. They share identical position count (180), pitch (0.031"/0.80mm), row configuration (6), contact finish (gold, 30.0µin), and physical dimensions. The substitute part is actively manufactured and available.

Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers?

A: The primary difference is product status. The SEAF8-30-05.0-S-06-2 is obsolete, while the SEAF8-30-05.0-S-06-3 is active. The SEAF8-30-05.0-S-06-3 includes a board guide feature for enhanced mechanical stability. Both parts are functionally equivalent for connector applications.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The SEAF8-30-05.0-S-06-3 is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) packaging. Packaging format does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Do both parts meet current compliance requirements?

A: Yes. Both the SEAF8-30-05.0-S-06-2 and SEAF8-30-05.0-S-06-3 are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, meeting current environmental and reliability standards.

Q: What are the mated stacking height options for these connectors?

A: Both parts support mated stacking heights of 7mm and 10mm, providing flexibility for different application requirements and PCB spacing constraints.
