Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SIM7100-8-1-15-01-A is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Card Type: Micro SIM
• Number of Positions: 9 (8 + 1)
• Connector Type: Connector
• Insertion, Removal Method: Push In, Push Out
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount, Right Angle
• Height Above Board: 0.059" (1.50mm)
• Contact Finish: Gold
• Contact Finish Thickness: 3.00µin (0.076µm)
• Features: Switch
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)
• REACH Status: REACH Unaffected

The substitute part SIM7100-8-1-15-00-A meets all these critical parameters. The primary distinction between the main part and the substitute is the packaging format and product status. The main part (SIM7100-8-1-15-01-A) is obsolete, while the substitute (SIM7100-8-1-15-00-A) maintains active product status with higher inventory availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The SIM7100-8-1-15-00-A is a direct functional equivalent to the SIM7100-8-1-15-01-A. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters including card type, position count, mounting configuration, contact finish, and compliance certifications.
