Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the ST80X-10S is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Configuration: Plug cradle, non-gendered contacts
• Position Count & Pitch: 10 positions at 0.039" (1.00mm) mating pitch
• Mounting Technology: Surface mount termination with solder connection
• Electrical Ratings: 0.5A current capacity and 100V voltage rating
• Environmental Compliance: UL94 V-0 flammability rating
• Mechanical Features: Board guide, mounting flange, and shielded design
• Thermal Range: -30°C to 80°C operating temperature

The identified substitute maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications while differing in product status and packaging configuration.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The ST80X-10S(30) is the direct functional equivalent of the ST80X-10S. Both parts are manufactured by Hirose Electric Co Ltd within the ST series and maintain identical electrical, mechanical, and thermal specifications. The primary distinction is product lifecycle status: the original ST80X-10S is obsolete, while ST80X-10S(30) is active and currently in production.

For new designs or ongoing procurement, ST80X-10S(30) is the appropriate selection. This variant includes RoHS compliance certification and is supplied in Tape & Reel packaging, which is standard for surface mount production environments. The MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited) indicates no moisture sensitivity constraints for storage or handling.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ST80X-10S(30) be used as a direct replacement for ST80X-10S?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The designation difference reflects packaging format and product status only. ST80X-10S(30) is supplied in Tape & Reel configuration versus bulk packaging for the original part.

Q: What is the significance of the "(30)" designation in ST80X-10S(30)?

A: The "(30)" suffix indicates the packaging specification. In this case, it denotes Tape & Reel packaging, which is the standard format for automated surface mount assembly processes.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between the two parts?

A: ST80X-10S(30) is explicitly RoHS compliant, while the original ST80X-10S does not specify RoHS status. Both maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating and identical MSL classification.

Q: What is the current availability status of these parts?

A: ST80X-10S is obsolete with limited inventory (2100 pcs). ST80X-10S(30) is active with higher availability (4095 pcs). For new procurement, ST80X-10S(30) is the recommended selection.

Q: Are the contact specifications identical between both parts?

A: Yes. Both parts feature gold-plated copper alloy contacts with 0.5A current rating and 100V voltage rating. Contact finish thickness for mating surfaces is specified as 30.0µin (0.76µm) for the original part, with the substitute maintaining equivalent contact performance.

Q: What are the storage and handling requirements for these connectors?

A: Both parts have MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity constraints. Standard ESD precautions apply for handling surface mount components.
