Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 71609-335 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Receptacle)
• Contact type (Female Socket)
• Number of positions (70)
• Pitch spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Row configuration (2 rows at 0.100" spacing)
• Mounting style (Surface Mount, Right Angle)
• Termination method (Solder)
• Contact finish specification (Gold plating at 30.0µin)
• Insulation material and flammability rating (Thermoplastic, Glass Filled, UL94 V-0)
• Contact material (Phosphor Bronze)
• Fastening mechanism (Push-Pull)

The 71609-335LF variant meets all these criteria and qualifies as a direct substitute.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 71609-335LF is the direct substitute for the obsolete 71609-335. Both parts are functionally and mechanically identical across all critical connector parameters.

The primary distinction between these parts is regulatory compliance status:

• The 71609-335 is RoHS non-compliant and carries obsolete product status
• The 71609-335LF is RoHS Compliant and maintains Active product status

For new designs or production transitions, the 71609-335LF is the appropriate selection. The part is currently in stock and available in tube packaging, supporting both prototype and production volume requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 71609-335LF be used as a direct replacement for the 71609-335?

A: Yes. The 71609-335LF is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the 71609-335 across all connector specifications including pitch, position count, contact materials, and mounting configuration.

Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers?

A: The primary differences are product status and regulatory compliance. The 71609-335 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant, while the 71609-335LF is active and RoHS Compliant. All functional connector parameters are identical.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns when switching from 71609-335 to 71609-335LF?

A: No compatibility concerns exist. The parts share identical mating interfaces, contact specifications, and mechanical dimensions. PCB layouts and mating connector designs require no modification.

Q: What packaging is available for the 71609-335LF?

A: The 71609-335LF is supplied in tube packaging, suitable for both manual assembly and automated pick-and-place operations.

Q: Why should I transition to the 71609-335LF?

A: The 71609-335 is obsolete and no longer manufactured. The 71609-335LF ensures continued supply chain access, meets current RoHS regulatory requirements, and maintains full functional compatibility with existing designs.
