Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The 66226-010LF qualifies as a direct substitute based on the following alignment of critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility: Both parts maintain identical voltage rating (500V), current rating (2A), and operating temperature range (-65°C to 105°C). Contact material (Copper Nickel Alloy) and finish (Tin) are identical, ensuring equivalent electrical performance.

Mechanical Compatibility: Both connectors feature 10 positions with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch and free-hanging in-line mounting. Housing material (Thermoplastic) and flammability rating (UL94 V-0) are identical. Mating cycle rating (100) is equivalent.

Key Differentiators: The 66226-010LF employs solder termination with slide lock and zero insertion force (ZIF) features, whereas the 66226-010 uses IDC termination. The 66226-010LF supports FFC thickness of 0.30mm and 0.33mm with straight and tapered cable end options. The 66226-010LF is RoHS Compliant and REACH Affected, while the 66226-010 is RoHS non-compliant.

Substitution is valid when termination method compatibility and compliance requirements align with application specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Selection between the 66226-010 and 66226-010LF depends on termination method requirements and regulatory compliance:

66226-010 (IDC Termination): Suitable for applications requiring insulation displacement contact termination. Non-compliant with RoHS regulations. Select when IDC termination is specified in design requirements and RoHS compliance is not mandated.

66226-010LF (Solder Termination): Suitable for applications requiring solder termination with slide lock and zero insertion force features. RoHS Compliant and REACH Affected. Select when solder termination is specified, RoHS compliance is required, or when enhanced locking and insertion force characteristics are beneficial. Supports flexible FFC thickness options (0.30mm, 0.33mm) and cable end configurations (straight, tapered).

Both parts share identical electrical ratings, operating temperature range, and mechanical pitch specifications, ensuring functional equivalence within their respective termination methodologies.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 66226-010LF directly replace the 66226-010 in existing designs?

A: Direct replacement is possible only if the design accommodates solder termination instead of IDC termination. The electrical and mechanical parameters are equivalent, but the connection method differs fundamentally. PCB layout and assembly process must be compatible with solder termination.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two connectors?

A: The 66226-010 uses IDC (Insulation Displacement Contact) termination, while the 66226-010LF uses solder termination with slide lock and zero insertion force features. Both maintain identical pitch (0.100"), position count (10), voltage rating (500V), and current rating (2A).

Q: Is the 66226-010LF RoHS compliant?

A: Yes, the 66226-010LF is RoHS Compliant and REACH Affected. The 66226-010 is RoHS non-compliant. Select the 66226-010LF for applications requiring RoHS compliance.

Q: Do both connectors support the same FFC cable thickness?

A: The 66226-010 specifies 0.33mm FFC thickness. The 66226-010LF supports both 0.30mm and 0.33mm FFC thickness with straight and tapered cable end options, providing greater flexibility in cable selection.

Q: What is the mating cycle rating for both connectors?

A: Both the 66226-010 and 66226-010LF are rated for 100 mating cycles, indicating equivalent durability for connection and disconnection operations.

Q: Are the contact materials identical?

A: Yes, both connectors use Copper Nickel Alloy contacts with Tin finish at 100.0µin (2.54µm) thickness, ensuring equivalent electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance.
