Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the 70232-116 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Configuration: Header with male pins, 24 positions arranged in 4 rows
• Pitch & Spacing: 0.079" (2.00mm) pitch for PCB mounting compatibility
• Mounting & Termination: Through-hole mounting with press-fit termination
• Electrical Performance: 1A current rating and contact finish specifications
• Environmental Compliance: UL94 V-0 flammability rating and MSL 1 rating
• Operating Range: -55°C to 125°C temperature specification

Two substitute parts meet these criteria:

1. 70232-116LF (Amphenol ICC): Direct manufacturer upgrade with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Active product status with RoHS compliance and improved availability.

2. 5536514-1 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors): Functionally equivalent header connector from an alternative manufacturer. Meets all core electrical and mechanical parameters with active product status and ROHS3 compliance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

70232-116LF is the primary substitute for the obsolete 70232-116. Both parts are manufactured by Amphenol ICC within the Metral® series, ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility. The 70232-116LF is an active product with RoHS compliance, addressing regulatory requirements and supply chain continuity. This part maintains identical specifications for pitch, position count, current rating, and operating temperature range.

5536514-1 from TE Connectivity AMP Connectors serves as a cross-manufacturer alternative. This part meets all critical mechanical parameters (24 positions, 0.079" pitch, 4-row configuration, through-hole press-fit mounting) and environmental specifications (UL94 V-0, MSL 1, -55°C to 125°C). The 5536514-1 is classified as active with ROHS3 compliance. Selection of this part requires confirmation that the Futurebus connector style is compatible with the application's mating interface.

Both substitutes address the obsolescence of the original part while maintaining functional equivalence for standard backplane header applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 70232-116LF be used as a direct replacement for 70232-116?

A: Yes. The 70232-116LF maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications including pitch, position count, current rating, and operating temperature range. Both parts are manufactured by Amphenol ICC and are mechanically and electrically interchangeable. The primary difference is product status (active vs. obsolete) and RoHS compliance.

Q: What is the key difference between 70232-116LF and 5536514-1?

A: Both parts share identical core specifications: 24 positions, 0.079" pitch, 4-row configuration, through-hole press-fit mounting, gold contact finish, 1A current rating, and -55°C to 125°C operating range. The primary differences are manufacturer (Amphenol ICC vs. TE Connectivity) and connector style designation (Metral® vs. Futurebus). Compatibility depends on mating connector specifications.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these substitutes?

A: The 70232-116LF and 5536514-1 are both supplied in tube packaging. The original 70232-116 packaging specification is not provided in the technical data.

Q: Does the 5536514-1 meet the same current and temperature specifications?

A: The 5536514-1 meets the -55°C to 125°C operating temperature range and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. Current rating is not specified in the available technical data for this part. Confirmation of electrical performance specifications is recommended prior to selection.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to each substitute?

A: The 70232-116LF is RoHS compliant. The 5536514-1 is ROHS3 compliant. Both parts carry UL94 V-0 material flammability ratings and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity levels. The original 70232-116 is RoHS non-compliant.
