SLW8S-1C7LF Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SLW8S-1C7LF is an 8-position FFC/FPC vertical connector with 1.00mm pitch, manufactured by Amphenol ICC (FCI). This connector features kinked pin termination, through-hole mounting, and Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) operation. The product is currently obsolete, making equivalent substitute parts necessary for ongoing design support and component sourcing.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the SLW8S-1C7LF are qualified based on the following critical parameters that must match or exceed the original specification:

Core Matching Criteria:

• Number of Positions: 8
• Pitch: 0.039" (1.00mm)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Connector Type: Contacts, Vertical - 1 Sided
• Termination: Kinked Pin
• Voltage Rating: ≥100V
• Current Rating: ≥1A
• Operating Temperature Range: Must encompass or exceed -55°C ~ 85°C
• Material Flammability: UL94 V-0 or equivalent
• RoHS Compliance: Required

The two substitute parts listed below meet these core electrical and mechanical requirements while offering active product status and improved availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

HLW8S-2C7LF is the primary substitute for the SLW8S-1C7LF. Both connectors are manufactured by Amphenol ICC (FCI) and share identical electrical specifications (100V, 1A, -55°C ~ 85°C). The HLW8S-2C7LF offers active product status, improved mating cycle rating (30 vs. 20), and maintains UL94 V-0 flammability compliance. Housing material differs (PBT vs. PA), and height above board increases by 0.015" (0.40mm), which must be verified against PCB layout constraints. RoHS compliance is maintained.

84984-8 is an alternative substitute manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors. This connector meets core electrical and mechanical requirements with a higher voltage rating (125V) and maintains ROHS3 compliance. Operating temperature range is reduced to -20°C ~ 85°C, which may limit suitability for applications requiring the full -55°C lower temperature specification. Housing material is PBT glass-filled, and packaging is supplied in tubes rather than trays. Height above board (5.59mm) is intermediate between the main part and HLW8S-2C7LF.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can HLW8S-2C7LF be used as a direct replacement for SLW8S-1C7LF?

A: HLW8S-2C7LF meets all core electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary design consideration is the increased height above board (5.90mm vs. 5.50mm). PCB layout and clearance must be verified before implementation.

Q: What is the difference in housing material between the main part and substitutes?

A: The SLW8S-1C7LF uses polyamide (PA) nylon glass-filled housing, while both substitutes use polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) glass-filled housing. Both materials meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements where specified.

Q: Is 84984-8 suitable for applications requiring -55°C operation?

A: No. The 84984-8 operating temperature range is -20°C ~ 85°C, which does not meet the -55°C lower limit of the original SLW8S-1C7LF specification. Use HLW8S-2C7LF for full temperature range compatibility.

Q: What are the packaging differences between substitutes?

A: HLW8S-2C7LF is supplied in trays (matching the original packaging), while 84984-8 is supplied in tubes. Packaging selection may affect procurement and assembly processes.

Q: Are both substitutes RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. HLW8S-2C7LF is RoHS Compliant, and 84984-8 is ROHS3 Compliant. Both meet current regulatory requirements.

Q: What is the mating cycle difference?

A: SLW8S-1C7LF is rated for 20 mating cycles, while HLW8S-2C7LF is rated for 30 mating cycles, providing improved durability. The 84984-8 mating cycle rating is not specified.
