Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 70232-115 are identified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional and mechanical compatibility:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• Number of Positions: 24
• Pitch: 0.079" (2.00mm)
• Number of Rows: 4
• Connector Type: Header, Male Pins
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Termination: Press-Fit
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 125°C
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0

Substitutes are grouped into two categories: direct manufacturer equivalents from Amphenol ICC and cross-manufacturer alternatives from TE Connectivity. Direct equivalents maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications while offering improved compliance status. Cross-manufacturer alternatives meet the same functional requirements but may introduce design considerations related to connector style and voltage rating differences.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

70232-115LF (Amphenol ICC Direct Equivalent): This part is the primary substitute for the obsolete 70232-115. It maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications while offering active product status and RoHS compliance. The direct manufacturer equivalence ensures PCB layout compatibility without redesign. Selection of this part is appropriate for applications requiring regulatory compliance and long-term supply chain stability.

536504-1 (TE Connectivity Cross-Manufacturer Alternative): This part meets all critical functional requirements including position count, pitch, mounting type, and temperature rating. The Futurebus connector style and 30V voltage rating provide additional design margin for certain applications. Cross-manufacturer substitution requires verification of mechanical fit and mating interface compatibility with existing socket designs. This part is suitable for applications where supply diversification or specific voltage rating requirements justify design validation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 70232-115LF be used as a direct replacement for 70232-115? A: Yes. The 70232-115LF maintains identical position count (24), pitch (2.00mm), row configuration (4), mounting type (through hole), and termination method (press-fit). PCB layout compatibility is preserved without modification.

Q: What is the primary advantage of 70232-115LF over the original 70232-115? A: The 70232-115LF is an active product with RoHS compliance, addressing the obsolescence and regulatory status of the original part. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Q: Is 536504-1 mechanically compatible with existing 70232-115 sockets? A: The 536504-1 shares the same position count, pitch, and row configuration. However, the Futurebus connector style may introduce mechanical differences. Physical compatibility with existing mating connectors must be verified before implementation.

Q: What are the key differences between the substitute parts? A: The 70232-115LF is a direct Amphenol ICC equivalent with improved compliance status. The 536504-1 is a TE Connectivity alternative that meets functional requirements but introduces a different connector style and higher voltage rating (30V).

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts? A: The 70232-115LF is supplied in tube packaging. The 70232-115 and 536504-1 packaging specifications are not detailed in the available data.

Q: Which substitute should be selected for new designs? A: For new designs, 70232-115LF is recommended as the primary choice due to direct manufacturer equivalence and active product status. The 536504-1 may be considered if cross-manufacturer sourcing or the 30V voltage rating provides specific design advantages.
