Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The substitute part 48233-000LF is classified as a direct equivalent based on the following matching parameters:

• Identical base product number (48233)
• Same series designation (Mini-PV™, Basics+)
• Matching contact type (Socket)
• Identical termination method (Crimp)
• Same wire gauge specification (18-20 AWG)
• Identical contact finish material (Gold)
• Matching contact finish thickness (30.0µin / 0.76µm)
• Same moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1)
• Identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications

The primary distinction is product status and RoHS compliance. The 48233-000LF is the active production equivalent with RoHS compliance, while the original 48233-000 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant.

Parameter Comparison

• RoHS compliance: The 48233-000LF meets RoHS requirements, satisfying regulatory compliance for applications subject to RoHS directives.
• Electrical and mechanical compatibility: All functional parameters remain identical, ensuring drop-in compatibility in existing circuit designs.
• Packaging: The 48233-000LF is supplied in box packaging, suitable for standard procurement and inventory management.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 48233-000LF be used as a direct replacement for the 48233-000?

A: Yes. The 48233-000LF is electrically and mechanically identical to the 48233-000. All contact specifications, wire gauge ratings, and termination methods are unchanged. The primary differences are product status and RoHS compliance.

Q: What does the "LF" suffix in 48233-000LF indicate?

A: The "LF" suffix indicates lead-free composition and RoHS compliance. This designation reflects the material composition change from the original 48233-000 to meet RoHS regulatory requirements.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns when substituting the 48233-000LF for the 48233-000?

A: No compatibility concerns exist. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications within the Mini-PV™ and Basics+ series. The contact finish thickness, wire gauge, and termination method remain constant.

Q: What is the MSL rating, and does it affect substitution?

A: Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. This rating is identical across both parts and does not impact substitution decisions.

Q: Why is the original 48233-000 marked as obsolete?

A: The 48233-000 is obsolete due to the industry-wide transition to RoHS-compliant components. The 48233-000LF represents the current production equivalent that meets modern regulatory standards while maintaining full functional compatibility.
