Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the WP7A-S024VA1-R500 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Configuration: Receptacle with center strip contacts
• Electrical Specifications: 24-position, 2-row arrangement
• Mechanical Specifications: 0.016" (0.40mm) pitch, surface mount configuration
• Physical Dimensions: 0.7mm mated stacking height, 0.028" (0.71mm) height above board
• Contact Properties: Gold finish at 4.00µin (0.100µm) thickness
• Assembly Features: Solder retention capability
• Compliance: RoHS compliant, MSL 1

The WP7A-S024VA1-R8000 meets all these parameters and is classified as a parametric equivalent. The primary distinction is product status and packaging availability.

Parameter Comparison

Selection of the WP7A-S024VA1-R8000 requires no design modifications, PCB layout changes, or assembly process adjustments relative to the original WP7A-S024VA1-R500 specification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the WP7A-S024VA1-R8000 be used as a direct replacement for the WP7A-S024VA1-R500?

A: Yes. The WP7A-S024VA1-R8000 is a parametric equivalent with identical connector type, position count, pitch, mounting configuration, contact finish, and physical dimensions. No design or assembly modifications are required.

Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers?

A: The primary differences are product status and packaging. The WP7A-S024VA1-R500 is discontinued, while the WP7A-S024VA1-R8000 is active production. The substitute part is available in Cut Tape and Digi-Reel packaging formats.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences?

A: No. Both parts are RoHS compliant with MSL 1 rating. All regulatory and environmental specifications are identical.

Q: Does the packaging format affect compatibility?

A: No. Packaging format (Cut Tape vs. Digi-Reel) affects supply chain logistics and assembly handling but does not impact electrical or mechanical compatibility. The connector itself is identical.

Q: What are the key parameters that define substitution for this connector?

A: Substitution is determined by: connector type (receptacle, center strip), position count (24), pitch (0.016"/0.40mm), row configuration (2 rows), mounting type (surface mount), contact finish (gold, 4.00µin), physical dimensions (0.7mm stacking height, 0.028" above board), and solder retention feature.
