Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 68002-425HLF is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type: Header
• Contact Type: Male Pin
• Number of Positions: 25
• Pitch: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Number of Rows: 1
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Termination: Solder

The substitute part TS-125-G-AA meets all these core electrical and mechanical requirements. Both components are single-row, 25-position headers with identical pitch and mounting specifications, enabling direct functional substitution in board-to-board applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 68002-425HLF and TS-125-G-AA are active production components with equivalent regulatory compliance. The 68002-425HLF features tin plating on mating contacts, while the TS-125-G-AA provides gold plating. Both components meet RoHS requirements and carry MSL 1 moisture sensitivity ratings, indicating no special storage or handling requirements.

Selection between these components should be based on:

• Contact Finish Requirements: Tin finish (68002-425HLF) versus gold finish (TS-125-G-AA)
• Packaging Format: Bag packaging (68002-425HLF) versus tube packaging (TS-125-G-AA)
• Availability: Current inventory levels and lead times from respective manufacturers

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TS-125-G-AA directly replace 68002-425HLF in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical connector type, contact type, position count, pitch, row configuration, mounting type, and termination method. The primary difference is contact finish material.

Q: What is the difference between tin and gold plating on the mating contacts?

A: The 68002-425HLF uses tin plating (100.0µin thickness), while the TS-125-G-AA uses gold plating (20.0µin thickness). Contact finish affects corrosion resistance and mating force characteristics but does not impact the core electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: Yes. The 68002-425HLF is supplied in bag packaging, while the TS-125-G-AA is supplied in tube packaging. This affects handling, storage, and component counting procedures but not functional performance.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Both components are RoHS compliant and carry EAR99 ECCN classification. The 68002-425HLF is RoHS Compliant, while the TS-125-G-AA is ROHS3 Compliant. Both have MSL 1 ratings.

Q: What is the current rating for these connectors?

A: The 68002-425HLF is rated for 3A per contact. The TS-125-G-AA specifications provided do not include a current rating parameter.
