Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 51915-098 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type and Style: Receptacle with female sockets and blade sockets, blade power configuration
• Position Count and Layout: 25 positions with 12 signal and 13 power contact arrangement
• Pitch and Row Configuration: 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch with 4-row arrangement
• Mounting Specification: Board edge, through-hole, right-angle mounting
• Termination Method: Solder termination
• Contact Finish: Gold or Gold, GXT™ with 30.0µin thickness
• Environmental Ratings: UL94 V-0 flammability rating and -20°C to 105°C operating temperature range
• Mechanical Features: Board lock and guide pin functionality

The substitute part 51915-098LF maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications while differing in product status and compliance certifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 51915-098LF is the direct substitute for the obsolete 51915-098. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical across all specified parameters. The primary differences are:

Product Status: The 51915-098LF is active and currently in production, whereas the 51915-098 is obsolete. For new designs and ongoing procurement, the 51915-098LF is the appropriate selection.

Compliance: The 51915-098LF is RoHS compliant and REACH affected, providing enhanced regulatory compliance for applications subject to these requirements. The original 51915-098 is RoHS non-compliant.

Packaging: The 51915-098LF is supplied in tray packaging, which is standard for active production parts.

For applications currently using the 51915-098, direct substitution with the 51915-098LF is supported without design modification, as all electrical and mechanical specifications remain unchanged.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 51915-098LF be used as a direct replacement for the 51915-098?

A: Yes. The 51915-098LF is electrically and mechanically identical to the 51915-098 across all specified parameters, including connector type, position count, pitch, mounting configuration, contact finish, and operating temperature range. Direct substitution is supported without design changes.

Q: What is the significance of the "LF" suffix in the part number 51915-098LF?

A: The "LF" suffix indicates lead-free termination and RoHS compliance. This designation reflects the part's compliance with RoHS regulations and REACH requirements.

Q: Are there any packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 51915-098 packaging is not specified in the available data. The 51915-098LF is supplied in tray packaging, which is standard for active production connectors.

Q: Why is the 51915-098 classified as obsolete?

A: The 51915-098 has been superseded by the 51915-098LF, which offers improved regulatory compliance and is actively manufactured. Amphenol ICC maintains the 51915-098LF as the current production equivalent.

Q: Are both parts suitable for the same operating temperature range?

A: Yes. Both the 51915-098 and 51915-098LF operate across the identical temperature range of -20°C to 105°C.

Q: What contact finish specifications apply to both parts?

A: Both parts feature gold or gold GXT™ contact finish with a thickness of 30.0µin (0.76µm), ensuring equivalent electrical performance and reliability.
