SIP050-1X30-160BLF Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SIP050-1X30-160BLF is a 30-position SIP (Single In-line Package) socket manufactured by Amphenol ICC (FCI). This through-hole component features gold-plated mating contacts and tin-plated brass posts for reliable interconnection in IC and transistor applications. The product is currently obsolete, making identification of compatible substitute parts essential for ongoing system support and component procurement.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SIP050-1X30-160BLF is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Position Count & Configuration: 30 positions in 1 x 30 arrangement
• Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm) grid spacing
• Contact Finish - Mating: Gold plating
• Contact Material - Mating: Beryllium Copper
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: MSL 1 (Unlimited)

Two substitute parts meet these core electrical and mechanical compatibility criteria:

346-43-130-41-013000 (Mill-Max Manufacturing Corp.) matches all critical parameters with identical position count, pitch, contact finish, and contact material. The primary difference is termination method (Press-Fit vs. Solder) and increased post length (0.175" vs. 0.095").

SL-130-G-12 (Samtec Inc.) matches position count, pitch, contact finish, and contact material. This part is classified as a Receptacle Connector rather than a socket, with solder termination and identical post length to the original part.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

346-43-130-41-013000 is an active product with ROHS3 compliance and specified operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C). This part maintains electrical compatibility through identical contact finish thickness, material, and pitch specifications. The Press-Fit termination method eliminates solder processing requirements. The increased post length (0.175" vs. 0.095") requires PCB design verification to ensure clearance compatibility with existing board layouts.

SL-130-G-12 is an active product with ROHS3 compliance and specified operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C). This part maintains solder termination compatibility with the original design and identical post length. The receptacle connector classification and gold post finish differ from the original specification but do not preclude functional substitution where board-to-board connectivity is acceptable. REACH and regulatory compliance status matches the original part.

Both substitute parts provide regulatory compliance advantages over the obsolete original part through active product status and ROHS3 certification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 346-43-130-41-013000 be used as a direct replacement without PCB modification?

A: The increased post length (0.175" vs. 0.095") requires verification of PCB clearance. Press-Fit termination eliminates solder processing but may require different assembly procedures. All electrical parameters remain compatible.

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

A: 346-43-130-41-013000 uses Press-Fit termination with longer posts, while SL-130-G-12 uses solder termination with post length matching the original part. Both maintain the required 30-position, 0.100" pitch, gold-plated beryllium copper contact configuration.

Q: Are both substitute parts suitable for the same applications as SIP050-1X30-160BLF?

A: Both parts meet the core electrical and mechanical parameters (position count, pitch, contact finish, contact material, through-hole mounting, MSL 1). Application suitability depends on specific termination method requirements and PCB design constraints.

Q: What compliance advantages do the substitute parts offer?

A: Both 346-43-130-41-013000 and SL-130-G-12 are active products with ROHS3 compliance and specified operating temperature ranges, providing regulatory advantages over the obsolete original part. Both maintain REACH Unaffected status.

Q: Does the gold post finish on SL-130-G-12 affect compatibility?

A: The gold post finish on SL-130-G-12 differs from the tin post finish on the original part. This difference does not preclude functional substitution but should be evaluated against specific application requirements for contact resistance and long-term reliability.
