Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 70079-402 are qualified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional equivalence:

• Connector position count: 96 positions
• Contact type: Female sockets
• Connector classification: Backplane receptacle
• Physical color: Gray
• Manufacturer compatibility: Amphenol ICC (FCI)

The substitute part 70079-402LF maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications across these parameters, differing only in kit configuration (without cover versus standard kit). This variation does not affect the core termination function or contact interface.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both parts are new original inventory from Amphenol ICC (FCI) and maintain identical connector specifications. Selection between 70079-402 and 70079-402LF depends on kit configuration requirements. The 70079-402 includes standard kit packaging, while 70079-402LF is supplied without cover. Choose based on whether cover inclusion is required for your backplane assembly process. Both parts are functionally equivalent for the 96-position female socket receptacle interface.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 70079-402LF directly replace 70079-402 in existing designs? A: Yes. Both parts provide identical 96-position female socket receptacle functionality. The difference is kit configuration only, not electrical or mechanical interface specifications.

Q: What does "without cover" mean for the 70079-402LF? A: The 70079-402LF is supplied as a backpanel kit without the protective cover included in the standard 70079-402 kit. The connector receptacle itself is identical.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns between these parts? A: No. Both parts are manufactured by Amphenol ICC (FCI) within the same product series and maintain identical contact count, socket type, and color specification.

Q: Which part should I select for new designs? A: Selection is based on kit configuration needs. If cover inclusion is required, use 70079-402. If cover is not needed or will be sourced separately, 70079-402LF is equivalent.
