Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the 71609-314 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Connector type: Receptacle
• Contact type: Female socket
• Pitch - mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Series: Dubox™
• Contact finish - mating: Gold
• Insulation material: Thermoplastic, Glass Filled
• Material flammability rating: UL94 V-0

Secondary Considerations:

• Number of positions and row configuration
• Mounting type (surface mount vs. through hole)
• Product status and compliance certifications

The substitute parts identified maintain compatibility with the core electrical and mechanical interface specifications of the 71609-314, with variations in position count and mounting methodology.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

71609-314LF (Primary Equivalent)

The 71609-314LF is the direct functional equivalent of the 71609-314. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications: 28-position configuration, 0.100" pitch, surface mount right-angle mounting, and gold contact finish. The primary distinction is product status and compliance: the 71609-314LF is active and RoHS compliant, whereas the original part is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. For new designs or production continuity, the 71609-314LF is the recommended replacement.

71920-302LF (Limited Compatibility)

The 71920-302LF maintains core interface compatibility through shared pitch (0.100"), contact finish (gold), insulation material, and flammability rating. However, this part differs significantly in position count (2 positions vs. 28 positions) and mounting type (through hole vs. surface mount right angle). The 71920-302LF is suitable only for applications where a 2-position connector meets functional requirements and through-hole mounting is acceptable. This part is active and RoHS compliant.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 71609-314LF be used as a direct replacement for the 71609-314?

A: Yes. The 71609-314LF is functionally equivalent to the 71609-314 across all critical parameters: connector type, position count, pitch, mounting configuration, and contact specifications. The LF designation indicates RoHS compliance, making it suitable for applications requiring current regulatory standards.

Q: What is the primary reason to transition from 71609-314 to 71609-314LF?

A: The 71609-314 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. The 71609-314LF is an active product meeting current RoHS requirements, ensuring long-term availability and regulatory compliance for new production.

Q: Is the 71920-302LF a suitable substitute for the 71609-314?

A: The 71920-302LF shares fundamental interface characteristics (pitch, contact finish, insulation material, flammability rating) but differs in position count and mounting type. Substitution is limited to applications where a 2-position through-hole connector satisfies functional requirements.

Q: What are the key differences between surface mount and through-hole mounting for these connectors?

A: Surface mount connectors (71609-314, 71609-314LF) are soldered directly to PCB pads and are suitable for high-density layouts. Through-hole connectors (71920-302LF) require drilled holes and provide mechanical robustness through lead insertion. Mounting type selection depends on PCB design, assembly process, and mechanical requirements.

Q: Are all substitute parts available in the same packaging?

A: No. The 71609-314 is supplied in bulk packaging, the 71609-314LF in tube packaging, and the 71920-302LF in bulk packaging. Packaging selection may affect procurement, handling, and assembly processes.

Q: Do all parts meet the same environmental and compliance standards?

A: The 71609-314 is RoHS non-compliant and REACH unaffected. Both 71609-314LF and 71920-302LF are RoHS compliant and REACH affected. Applications requiring RoHS compliance must use 71609-314LF or 71920-302LF.
