Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 70079-304 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Manufacturer consistency (Amphenol ICC / FCI)
• Product category classification (Backplane Connectors)
• Contact count and gender (21 Connector Receptacle, Female Sockets)
• Physical color specification (Gray)
• Functional kit composition and termination capability

The substitute part 70079-304LF maintains alignment with these core parameters while offering an alternative kit configuration that includes backpanel coverage, providing equivalent termination functionality for the same connector position count and socket type.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 70079-304 and 70079-304LF are manufactured by Amphenol ICC (FCI) and maintain identical contact configurations for 21-position female socket receptacles. Selection between these parts should be based on application-specific requirements regarding backpanel integration. The 70079-304LF includes integrated backpanel coverage as part of its three-piece kit composition, which may provide additional mechanical support or environmental protection depending on assembly requirements. The 70079-304 represents the standard termination kit configuration without integrated cover components.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 70079-304LF directly replace 70079-304 in existing designs?

A: Both parts share identical contact configurations (21 Connector Receptacle, Female Sockets) and are manufactured by the same supplier. Compatibility depends on whether the backpanel cover included in the 70079-304LF kit aligns with mechanical assembly constraints in the target application.

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

A: The 70079-304LF is supplied as a three-piece backpanel kit with integrated cover components, while the 70079-304 is a standard termination kit without cover integration. Both provide equivalent electrical termination for 21-position female socket applications.

Q: Are there packaging or form factor considerations when substituting between these parts?

A: The 70079-304LF includes backpanel coverage as part of its kit composition. Applications with space constraints or specific backpanel mounting requirements should evaluate whether the additional cover components are compatible with the target assembly geometry.

Q: What inventory status should influence part selection?

A: The 70079-304LF currently has higher stock availability (902 Pcs) compared to 70079-304 (722 Pcs). For time-sensitive procurement, the 70079-304LF may offer supply chain advantages while maintaining functional equivalence for compatible applications.
