Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the 70229-111 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Position Count & Pitch: 96 positions at 0.079" (2.00mm) pitch
• Connector Configuration: 4-row receptacle with female sockets
• Mounting & Termination: Board edge, through-hole, right-angle solder termination
• Contact System: Gold-plated contacts at 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness
• Mechanical Features: Board guide and spacer integration
• Compliance: UL94 V-0 flammability rating

The substitute part 70229-112 maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications while offering active product status and high-speed connector styling. Both parts share the same base product number (70229) and are manufactured within the Metral® series, ensuring form, fit, and functional compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 70229-112 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete 70229-111. Both connectors maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications, ensuring direct compatibility in existing designs. The primary distinction is product status: the 70229-112 is actively manufactured and supported, while the 70229-111 is obsolete.

For new designs or system refreshes, the 70229-112 should be selected to ensure long-term component availability and manufacturing support. For legacy system maintenance where the 70229-111 is currently deployed, the 70229-112 provides a direct replacement without design modification.

Both parts carry identical compliance certifications (UL94 V-0, RoHS non-compliant, REACH Unaffected, ECCN EAR99) and share the same HTSUS classification (8536.69.4040), confirming regulatory and trade equivalence.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 70229-112 be used as a direct replacement for the 70229-111?

A: Yes. The 70229-112 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute and maintains identical position count (96), pitch (0.079" / 2.00mm), row configuration (4 rows), connector type (receptacle, female sockets), mounting method (board edge, through-hole, right-angle), termination (solder), contact finish (gold, 30.0µin), and mechanical features (board guide, spacer). No design modification is required.

Q: Why is the 70229-111 listed as obsolete?

A: The 70229-111 has reached end-of-life status in Amphenol ICC's product portfolio. The 70229-112 represents the active continuation of this connector family within the Metral® series.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts share identical compliance profiles: UL94 V-0 flammability rating, RoHS non-compliant status, REACH Unaffected designation, and EAR99 ECCN classification. Moisture sensitivity level is identical (MSL 1, Unlimited).

Q: What is the difference between the 70229-111 and 70229-112 connector styles?

A: The 70229-112 is designated as a high-speed connector variant within the Metral® series. All electrical and mechanical parameters remain equivalent; the high-speed designation reflects design optimization for signal integrity in high-frequency applications.

Q: Are packaging differences relevant to substitution?

A: The 70229-111 is supplied in standard packaging, while the 70229-112 is supplied in bulk packaging. This distinction affects logistics and inventory management but does not impact electrical or mechanical compatibility.
