Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of rectangular connectors is determined by strict equivalence across critical mechanical and electrical parameters. The following parameters establish substitution validity for the 1-969973-5:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Connector type (Receptacle, Bottom or Top Entry)
• Number of positions (30)
• Pitch spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Number of rows (2)
• Row spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Mounting type (Surface Mount)
• Contact type (Female Socket)
• Fastening type (Push-Pull)
• Contact finish on mating surface (Gold)
• Termination method (Solder)
• Style (Board to Board)

The substitute part 89898-315ALF meets all primary substitution criteria. Both connectors share identical mechanical interfaces, contact configurations, and mating characteristics, enabling direct functional replacement in board-to-board applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 89898-315ALF serves as a direct functional equivalent to the obsolete 1-969973-5. Selection between these parts should be based on the following engineering considerations:

Product Status: The 1-969973-5 is classified as obsolete, while the 89898-315ALF is active. For new designs, ongoing production, or long-term supply chain planning, the 89898-315ALF is the appropriate selection due to its active status and continued manufacturer support.

Compliance and Certifications: The 89898-315ALF carries RoHS Compliance certification and REACH Affected status, providing regulatory alignment for applications subject to environmental and hazardous substance restrictions. The 1-969973-5 does not specify these certifications.

Mechanical Compatibility: Both connectors maintain identical mating pitch (0.100"), row configuration (2 rows), and row spacing (0.100"), ensuring mechanical interchangeability in board-to-board applications. The insulation height difference (0.244" versus 0.275") and insulation material variation (LCP versus thermoplastic, glass-filled) do not affect functional substitution when mating surfaces and contact configurations are identical.

Contact Characteristics: Both parts feature gold-plated mating contacts with comparable finish thickness (31.5µin versus 30.0µin), ensuring equivalent electrical performance and signal integrity. Contact material differences (copper alloy versus phosphor bronze) do not impact substitution validity for standard board-to-board applications.

Packaging Considerations: The 89898-315ALF is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, supporting automated assembly processes. The 1-969973-5 packaging specification is not provided.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 89898-315ALF directly replace the 1-969973-5 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mating pitch (0.100"), position count (30), row configuration (2 rows), contact type (female socket), fastening mechanism (push-pull), and termination method (solder). The mechanical and electrical interfaces are equivalent, enabling direct substitution in board-to-board applications.

Q: What are the key differences between these two connectors?

A: The primary differences are manufacturer (TE Connectivity versus Amphenol ICC), product series (AMPMODU HV-100 versus Dubox™), product status (obsolete versus active), insulation material (LCP versus thermoplastic, glass-filled), insulation height (0.244" versus 0.275"), and compliance certifications (RoHS status specified for 89898-315ALF only). These differences do not affect functional substitution.

Q: Does the insulation height difference impact compatibility?

A: No. The insulation height difference (0.031" / 0.79mm) does not affect mating compatibility or electrical performance. Both connectors maintain the same contact pitch and row spacing, which determine mechanical fit and signal routing.

Q: Are the contact finishes equivalent?

A: Yes. Both connectors feature gold-plated mating contacts with comparable finish thickness (31.5µin versus 30.0µin). This ensures equivalent electrical conductivity, corrosion resistance, and signal integrity in board-to-board applications.

Q: What is the significance of the RoHS Compliance status on the 89898-315ALF?

A: RoHS Compliance indicates that the 89898-315ALF meets Restriction of Hazardous Substances regulations, restricting lead, cadmium, mercury, and other hazardous materials. This certification is relevant for applications subject to environmental regulations or customer requirements. The 1-969973-5 does not specify RoHS status.

Q: Can these connectors be used interchangeably in production?

A: Yes, provided that the mating connector (plug) is compatible with both receptacle designs. Since both receptacles maintain identical mating pitch, row configuration, and contact type, they accept the same mating plugs. Verify mating connector compatibility before implementation.

Q: What packaging format is the 89898-315ALF supplied in?

A: The 89898-315ALF is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, which supports automated pick-and-place assembly processes. This packaging format is standard for high-volume surface mount production.

Q: Are there any thermal or environmental rating differences?

A: Operating temperature and environmental ratings are not specified for either connector in the provided data. Both connectors carry Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage or handling.
