Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ST60-36P is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Receptacle)
• Number of positions (36)
• 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 substitute part ST60-36P(30) meets all these criteria and is manufactured by the same supplier, ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility with the original design.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

ST60-36P(30) is the direct substitute for ST60-36P. The substitute part maintains identical electrical, mechanical, and thermal specifications while offering the advantage of active product status. ST60-36P(30) carries ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, providing regulatory alignment for new designs and ongoing production.

The transition from ST60-36P to ST60-36P(30) requires no design modifications, as all critical parameters remain equivalent. Component placement, PCB layout, and mating interface specifications are unchanged.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ST60-36P(30) be used as a direct replacement for ST60-36P in existing designs?

A: Yes. ST60-36P(30) is electrically and mechanically equivalent to ST60-36P.
