Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the 51939-147 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

  • Connector type and style (Header, Male Pins and Blades; Blade Power)
  • Number of positions and contact layout (31 positions; 24 Signal, 7 Power)
  • Pitch and row configuration (0.100" pitch; 4 rows)
  • Mounting type and termination method (Board Edge, Through Hole, Right Angle; Solder)
  • Contact finish specification (Gold or Gold, GXT™)
  • Operating temperature range (-20°C ~ 105°C)
  • Material flammability rating (UL94 V-0)
  • Series designation (PwrBlade®)

The 51939-147LF meets all these criteria and serves as the direct active equivalent.
