Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the 51731-041 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

  • Connector type and style (Header, Male Pins and Blades; Blade Power)
  • Number of positions (43)
  • Pitch specification (0.100" / 2.54mm)
  • Number of rows (4)
  • Mounting configuration (Board Edge, Through Hole, Right Angle)
  • Contact layout (32 Signal, 11 Power)
  • Contact finish and thickness (Gold or Gold, GXT™; 30.0µin)
  • Color (Black)
  • Flammability rating (UL94 V-0)
  • Operating temperature range (-20°C ~ 105°C)
  • Series designation (PwrBlade®)

The substitute part 51731-041LF meets all these parameters identically, with the primary distinction being product status and compliance certifications.
