Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Amphenol ICC 69958-104 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

  • Connector geometry: 8 positions, 2 rows, 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch and row spacing
  • Mounting configuration: Through-hole, right-angle orientation
  • Shrouding design: Shrouded with 4-wall construction
  • Contact system: Male pin contacts with gold or gold GXT™ mating finish
  • Termination method: Solder termination
  • Series compatibility: LATCH-N-LOK™ series

The substitute part 69958-104LF maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all these parameters. The primary distinction is product status and compliance certification, not functional capability.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 69958-104LF serves as the direct functional equivalent to the obsolete 69958-104. Both connectors are identical in electrical and mechanical specifications, including contact configuration, pitch, shrouding design, and termination method.

The 69958-104LF is the recommended selection for new designs and ongoing production support due to its active product status. Additionally, the 69958-104LF carries RoHS compliance certification, whereas the original 69958-104 is RoHS non-compliant. For applications subject to RoHS regulatory requirements, the 69958-104LF is the appropriate choice.

The 69958-104LF provides specified electrical ratings of 2.5A current and 250VDC voltage, offering documented performance parameters for circuit design validation. Both parts maintain identical moisture sensitivity classification (MSL 1) and flammability rating (UL94 V-0).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 69958-104 and 69958-104LF mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mechanical specifications including 8-position, 2-row configuration with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, right-angle through-hole mounting, and shrouded 4-wall design. They are direct mechanical equivalents.

Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers?

A: The primary differences are product status and compliance certification. The 69958-104 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant, while the 69958-104LF is active and RoHS compliant. The 69958-104LF also provides specified electrical ratings (2.5A, 250VDC) and REACH compliance documentation.

Q: Can I use the 69958-104LF as a replacement in existing assemblies designed for the 69958-104?

A: Yes. The 69958-104LF is functionally and mechanically equivalent. No design modifications are required for substitution in existing board layouts or cable assemblies.

Q: What does the "LF" suffix indicate?

A: The "LF" suffix indicates lead-free termination and RoHS compliance. This designation reflects the part's adherence to RoHS regulatory requirements.

Q: Are there any packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 69958-104 packaging is not specified in the technical data. The 69958-104LF is supplied in tray packaging.

Q: What is the current and voltage rating for the 69958-104?

A: The original 69958-104 does not have specified current or voltage ratings in the technical documentation. The 69958-104LF is rated for 2.5A current and 250VDC voltage.

Q: Are both parts suitable for high-reliability applications?
