Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SEAM8-30-S05.0-L-06-2-K is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type and position count (180-position High Density Array, Male)
• Pitch specification (0.031" / 0.80mm)
• Row configuration (6 rows)
• Mounting technology (Surface Mount)
• Contact material and finish (Gold, 10.0µin thickness)
• Physical dimensions (Mated stacking height 10mm, height above board 0.297")
• Environmental compliance (RoHS3, MSL 1)

The identified substitute parts maintain full electrical and mechanical compatibility with the original specification. Differences in product status and packaging do not affect functional interchangeability in the connector interface.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both SEAM8-30-S05.0-L-06-2 and SEAM8-30-S05.0-L-06-3 are direct functional equivalents to the obsolete SEAM8-30-S05.0-L-06-2-K. Selection between these active alternatives should be based on:

SEAM8-30-S05.0-L-06-2: Recommended for applications requiring standard packaging with board guide features. This part maintains active product status and RoHS compliance certification.

SEAM8-30-S05.0-L-06-3: Recommended for applications where strip packaging is acceptable or preferred. This part is supplied in strip format and carries ROHS3 compliance certification.

Both parts meet all electrical and mechanical requirements specified for the original connector. Inventory availability and supply chain considerations may influence final selection between these two options.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SEAM8-30-S05.0-L-06-2 and SEAM8-30-S05.0-L-06-3 be used interchangeably with SEAM8-30-S05.0-L-06-2-K?

A: Yes. Both substitute parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters including position count, pitch, row configuration, contact finish, and physical dimensions. The connector interface is fully compatible.

Q: What is the difference between the two substitute parts?

A: The primary differences are product status and packaging format. SEAM8-30-S05.0-L-06-2 is supplied in standard packaging with board guide features, while SEAM8-30-S05.0-L-06-3 is supplied in strip packaging. Both are functionally equivalent connectors.

Q: Does the packaging difference affect connector performance?

A: No. Packaging format does not affect the electrical or mechanical performance of the connector interface. The difference is limited to supply and handling considerations.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between the substitute parts?

A: Both substitute parts are RoHS compliant. SEAM8-30-S05.0-L-06-2 carries RoHS certification, while SEAM8-30-S05.0-L-06-3 carries ROHS3 certification. Both meet environmental compliance requirements.

Q: Why is the original part listed as obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence is determined by the manufacturer. The availability of active equivalent parts (SEAM8-30-S05.0-L-06-2 and SEAM8-30-S05.0-L-06-3) ensures continued design support and production capability.
