Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 51952-095 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type: Header, Male Pins and Blades
• Connector style: Blade Power
• Number of positions: 30
• Number of rows: 4
• Pitch: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Mounting type: Through Hole
• Termination method: Press-Fit, Solder
• Contact layout: 24 Signal, 6 Power
• Board lock feature: Present
• Contact finish: Gold or Gold, GXT™
• Material flammability rating: UL94 V-0
• Operating temperature range: -20°C to 105°C
• Moisture sensitivity level: 1 (Unlimited)

The 51952-095LF meets all these criteria and is classified as an active product, making it a direct functional substitute.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 51952-095LF is the direct equivalent for the obsolete 51952-095. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters. The primary distinctions are product status and compliance certifications:

The 51952-095LF carries active product status and RoHS compliance, whereas the 51952-095 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. For new designs and ongoing system support, the 51952-095LF is the appropriate selection. The packaging difference (tray versus bulk) reflects standard industry practice for active products and does not affect functional compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 51952-095LF be used as a direct replacement for the 51952-095?

A: Yes. Both parts are identical in connector type, position count, pitch, mounting method, contact layout, and all electrical and mechanical specifications. The 51952-095LF is the active equivalent.

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

A: The "LF" designation indicates lead-free compliance, reflecting the RoHS compliance status of the 51952-095LF. The base 51952-095 does not carry this designation.

Q: Are there packaging considerations when switching from 51952-095 to 51952-095LF?

A: The 51952-095 is supplied in bulk packaging, while the 51952-095LF is supplied in tray packaging. This difference does not affect the connector's electrical or mechanical performance and reflects standard packaging for active products.

Q: Does the RoHS compliance difference affect compatibility?

A: No. RoHS compliance is a regulatory and environmental classification that does not impact the functional compatibility or performance of the connector in the application.

Q: What is the board lock feature?

A: The board lock mechanism is an integrated feature present on both parts that provides mechanical retention of the connector to the PCB during assembly and operation.

Q: Are the contact finishes identical between the two parts?

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