Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 10028542-001 with the 10028542-003LF is based on strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Both parts share the same base product number (10028542) and maintain identical specifications for connector type, position count, mounting configuration, and termination method. The substitution is valid because the following parameters are identical:

• Connector Type: SAS, 4x
• Number of Positions: 32
• Connector Style: Header
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Termination: Press-Fit
• Features: Board Guide, Board Lock
• Contact Finish: Gold at 30.0µin (0.76µm)
• ECCN and HTSUS classifications

The primary distinction between these parts is product status and RoHS compliance, not functional or mechanical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 10028542-003LF is the direct functional equivalent to the 10028542-001. Selection between these parts should be based on the following criteria:

Use 10028542-003LF when:

• RoHS compliance is required for the application or end market
• New production designs are being implemented
• Long-term component availability is a priority
• The application operates in regulated industries requiring compliant materials

Use 10028542-001 when:

• Existing inventory must be consumed in legacy systems
• RoHS compliance is not a requirement
• The application is for repair or maintenance of existing equipment using the original part number

Both parts are electrically and mechanically interchangeable for all SAS 4x header connector applications requiring 32-position through-hole press-fit termination with board guide and board lock features.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 10028542-001 and 10028542-003LF mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts are 32-position SAS 4x header connectors with identical mounting type (through hole), termination method (press-fit), and physical features (board guide, board lock). They share the same base product number and contact specifications.

Q: What is the difference between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are product status and RoHS compliance. The 10028542-001 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant, while the 10028542-003LF is active and RoHS compliant. All electrical and mechanical parameters are identical.

Q: Can I use 10028542-003LF as a direct replacement for 10028542-001 in existing designs?

A: Yes, the 10028542-003LF is a direct functional replacement. No design modifications are required. The connector type, position count, mounting configuration, and termination method are identical.

Q: Does the packaging difference affect compatibility?

A: No. Packaging (tray for 10028542-003LF versus unspecified for 10028542-001) affects only handling, storage, and logistics. It does not affect electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: Why should I transition from 10028542-001 to 10028542-003LF?

A: The 10028542-001 is obsolete, meaning Amphenol ICC (FCI) no longer manufactures it. The 10028542-003LF is the active equivalent with improved RoHS compliance status and confirmed current inventory availability.

Q: Are there any electrical performance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts have identical contact finish (gold at 30.0µin / 0.76µm), connector type, and electrical specifications. Performance in SAS 4x header applications is equivalent.
