Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 71609-340 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Configuration: Receptacle, 80-position, board-to-board style
• Pitch & Spacing: 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch with 0.100" (2.54mm) row spacing
• Mounting & Orientation: Surface mount, right-angle configuration
• Contact System: Female socket contacts with gold mating finish (30.0µin thickness)
• Insulation & Materials: Thermoplastic glass-filled insulation, UL94 V-0 rated
• Series Designation: Dubox™ series

The substitute part 71609-340LF maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all these parameters, ensuring direct functional equivalence.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 71609-340LF is the direct substitute for the obsolete 71609-340. Both parts are manufactured by Amphenol ICC within the Dubox™ series and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

The primary distinction between these parts is regulatory compliance status. The 71609-340LF carries RoHS Compliant certification and REACH Affected status, whereas the 71609-340 is RoHS non-compliant with REACH Unaffected status. For new designs or applications subject to RoHS or REACH regulatory requirements, the 71609-340LF is the appropriate selection.

The 71609-340LF is currently in active production status with higher inventory availability (1092 pcs vs. 699 pcs), supporting supply chain continuity for ongoing applications.
