Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ST60-10P is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Receptacle)
• Number of positions (10)
• Mating pitch (0.020" / 0.50mm)
• Mounting configuration (Board Edge, Surface Mount, Right Angle)
• Contact finish specification (Gold)
• Electrical ratings (0.5A, 100VAC)
• Operating temperature range (-30°C ~ 80°C)
• Material flammability compliance (UL94 V-0)
• Insulation material (Liquid Crystal Polymer)

The ST60-10P(30) meets all substitution criteria as a direct equivalent. The primary distinction is packaging format and product status, with the substitute part available in active production status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The ST60-10P(30) is the direct substitute for the obsolete ST60-10P. Both parts are manufactured by Hirose Electric Co Ltd and maintain identical electrical, mechanical, and thermal specifications. The substitute part is currently in active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.

The ST60-10P(30) is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging format, which differs from the standard packaging of the original part. This packaging format is standard for high-volume production environments and automated assembly processes.

The ST60-10P(30) carries RoHS compliance certification, providing additional environmental and regulatory alignment for applications subject to RoHS requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ST60-10P(30) be used as a direct replacement for ST60-10P?

A: Yes. The ST60-10P(30) is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the ST60-10P. All critical parameters including connector type, position count, mating pitch, mounting configuration, contact finish, electrical ratings, and operating temperature range are identical.

Q: What is the difference between ST60-10P and ST60-10P(30)?

A: The primary differences are product status and packaging. The ST60-10P is obsolete and supplied in standard packaging. The ST60-10P(30) is in active production and supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. The ST60-10P(30) also carries RoHS compliance certification.

Q: Does the Tape & Reel packaging affect connector performance?

A: No. Tape & Reel packaging is a supply format used for automated assembly processes. The connector itself maintains identical electrical and mechanical characteristics regardless of packaging format.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: The ST60-10P(30) is certified as RoHS Compliant. Both parts meet UL94 V-0 material flammability requirements and operate across the same temperature range with identical electrical ratings.

Q: What inventory status should be considered for procurement?

A: The ST60-10P has 2175 pieces in stock but is classified as obsolete. The ST60-10P(30) has 1308 pieces in stock and is in active production, making it the recommended choice for new designs and ongoing procurement.
