Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 70079-401 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Manufacturer consistency: Parts must originate from Amphenol ICC (FCI) to ensure design compatibility and quality standards
• Connector configuration: 21-position female socket receptacle architecture must be maintained
• Physical characteristics: Gray color specification and backplane termination corner kit function
• Electrical compatibility: Identical contact arrangement and signal integrity requirements

The substitute part 70079-401LF meets these criteria as a variant within the same product family, differing primarily in packaging configuration (backpanel kit with cover, 2-piece assembly) while maintaining the core 21-position female socket receptacle specification in gray.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 70079-401 and 70079-401LF are manufactured by Amphenol ICC (FCI) and maintain identical core electrical and mechanical specifications for the 21-position female socket receptacle configuration. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging requirements:

• 70079-401: Standard termination corner kit configuration
• 70079-401LF: Backpanel kit variant with integrated cover assembly (2-piece configuration)

The choice depends on whether the application requires the cover assembly included in the kit or if the standard termination corner configuration is sufficient. Both parts carry new original inventory status and are suitable for direct substitution where packaging differences do not impact system integration.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 70079-401LF be used as a direct replacement for 70079-401?

A: Yes, both parts share identical 21-position female socket receptacle specifications and are manufactured by Amphenol ICC (FCI). The primary difference is packaging: 70079-401LF includes a backpanel cover assembly as a 2-piece kit, while 70079-401 is the standard termination corner kit. Compatibility depends on whether your application requires the cover assembly.

Q: What determines substitution eligibility for this connector family?

A: Substitution is valid when parts maintain the same manufacturer (Amphenol ICC/FCI), position count (21), connector type (female socket receptacle), and color (gray). Packaging variants and kit configurations may differ without affecting electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Are there inventory considerations when selecting between these parts?

A: The 70079-401 has 1172 pieces in stock, while 70079-401LF has 847 pieces available. Both are new original inventory. Selection may be influenced by supply availability and delivery timeline requirements.

Q: What is the functional difference between the standard kit and the backpanel kit with cover?

A: The 70079-401LF includes an integrated cover assembly as part of a 2-piece configuration, providing additional mechanical protection or integration features. The 70079-401 provides the core termination corner functionality without the cover assembly.
