Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 70238-192 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type and style (Header, Male Blades; Blade Power configuration)
• Electrical configuration (8 positions, 4 positions loaded, 8 power contact layout)
• Physical dimensions (0.236" pitch, 4-row arrangement)
• Mounting and termination method (Through Hole, Press-Fit)
• Contact specifications (Gold finish, 30.0µin thickness)
• Material compliance (UL94 V-0 flammability rating)

The 70238-192LF meets all these criteria and is therefore classified as a direct equivalent substitute. Both parts share the same base product number (70238) and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 70238-192LF is the direct substitute for the obsolete 70238-192. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical across all specified parameters. The primary distinctions are:

Product Status: The 70238-192LF carries Active status, ensuring continued availability and manufacturer support, whereas the 70238-192 is obsolete.

Regulatory Compliance: The 70238-192LF is RoHS Compliant and REACH Affected, meeting current environmental regulations. The 70238-192 is RoHS non-compliant and REACH Unaffected, reflecting its obsolete classification.

Packaging: The 70238-192LF is supplied in Tube packaging, whereas the 70238-192 was supplied in bulk packaging.

For new designs or component replacement in existing applications, the 70238-192LF is the appropriate selection due to its active product status and regulatory compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 70238-192 and 70238-192LF electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain identical electrical specifications: 8 positions with 4 positions loaded, 8 power contact layout, gold-plated contacts at 30.0µin thickness, and UL94 V-0 flammability rating.

Q: Are the 70238-192 and 70238-192LF mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical mechanical specifications: 0.236" (6.00mm) pitch, 4-row configuration, through-hole mounting, and press-fit termination. PCB footprints are identical.

Q: Why is the 70238-192 classified as obsolete?

A: The 70238-192 has been superseded by the 70238-192LF, which offers improved regulatory compliance (RoHS Compliant) and continued manufacturer support.

Q: What is the difference between the packaging formats?

A: The 70238-192 was supplied in bulk packaging, while the 70238-192LF is supplied in Tube packaging. This affects handling and storage but does not impact component performance or compatibility.

Q: Can I use the 70238-192LF as a direct replacement in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. The 70238-192LF is a direct substitute with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. No design modifications are required.

Q: What does the "LF" designation in 70238-192LF indicate?

A: The "LF" suffix indicates Lead-Free compliance, reflecting the part's RoHS Compliant status and adherence to environmental regulations.
