Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SNT-100-BL-H is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Series & Base Product: SNT series, base product SNT-100
• Position Configuration: 2 (1 x 2) position arrangement
• Pitch Specification: 0.100" (2.54mm) standard spacing
• Connector Type: Open top design
• Gender Configuration: Female sockets
• Physical Dimensions: 0.240" (6.10mm) height
• Contact Material & Finish: Gold-plated contacts
• Current Rating: 4.3A per contact minimum
• Housing Material: Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT)
• Flammability Compliance: UL94 V-0 rating
• Environmental Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected

The SNT-100-BL-G meets all substitution criteria and is classified as an active product, providing direct functional and mechanical compatibility with the obsolete SNT-100-BL-H.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The SNT-100-BL-G is the direct substitute for the obsolete SNT-100-BL-H. Both connectors maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including position count, pitch, current rating, and physical dimensions. The SNT-100-BL-G is currently in active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.

Both parts satisfy ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements. The contact finish thickness differs between the two parts (30.0µin for SNT-100-BL-H versus 10.0µin for SNT-100-BL-G), though both maintain gold plating and equivalent electrical performance at the specified 4.3A per contact rating.

For new designs or component replacement in existing systems, the SNT-100-BL-G is the appropriate selection due to its active product status and guaranteed availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the SNT-100-BL-G directly replace the SNT-100-BL-H in existing applications?

A: Yes. The SNT-100-BL-G provides direct mechanical and electrical compatibility. Both connectors share identical position configuration (2 positions), pitch (0.100"), height (0.240"), current rating (4.3A per contact), and housing material (PBT). No design modifications are required.

Q: What is the difference in contact finish thickness between these parts?

A: The SNT-100-BL-H specifies 30.0µin (0.76µm) gold contact finish thickness, while the SNT-100-BL-G specifies 10.0µin (0.25µm). Both maintain gold plating and deliver equivalent electrical performance at the rated current specification.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the SNT-100-BL-H and SNT-100-BL-G?

A: The SNT-100-BL-H packaging is listed as unspecified (-), while the SNT-100-BL-G is supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging format does not affect connector functionality or compatibility.

Q: Do both parts meet current compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both the SNT-100-BL-H and SNT-100-BL-G are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements for electronic component procurement.

Q: Why is the SNT-100-BL-H classified as obsolete?

A: The SNT-100-BL-H is no longer in active production. The SNT-100-BL-G serves as the current production equivalent, providing identical functionality with assured supply availability.
