Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Replacement (Vertical Orientation, Same Footprint):

The 71918-260LF is the primary recommended substitute. It maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the 71918-260 while offering active product status and RoHS compliance. The transition from phosphor bronze to phosphor bronze contact material and the addition of tin post finish (78.7µin / 2.00µm) provides improved environmental protection. This part is suitable for new designs and production continuity without PCB layout modifications.

For Right-Angle Mounting Applications:

The 71922-160LF provides equivalent electrical specifications with right-angle orientation. This variant is appropriate when vertical space is constrained or when cable routing requires perpendicular connector orientation. RoHS compliance and active status make this suitable for modern applications.

For Extended Operating Temperature Range:

HARTING SEK series parts (09185606904, 09185606912) offer specified operating temperature ranges of -55°C ~ 125°C, compared to unspecified ratings for Amphenol ICC parts. These are suitable for applications requiring documented thermal performance. The copper alloy contact material and PBT insulation material provide alternative material specifications while maintaining core electrical and mechanical compatibility.

For Legacy System Support:

When RoHS non-compliance is acceptable or required for legacy system compatibility, the 71918-260 remains available with 941 pieces in stock. However, for new production, RoHS-compliant alternatives are recommended.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 71918-260LF be used as a direct replacement for the 71918-260?

A: Yes. The 71918-260LF is a direct equivalent with identical pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm), position count (60), row configuration (2), shrouding (4-wall), and mounting type (through-hole vertical). The primary differences are active product status and RoHS compliance. No PCB layout changes are required.

Q: What is the difference between the 71918-260LF and 71922-160LF?

A: The 71922-160LF features right-angle mounting orientation instead of vertical. Both maintain 60 positions, 2.54mm pitch, and 4-wall shrouding. Selection depends on PCB layout requirements and available mounting space.

Q: Are HARTING SEK series parts (09185606904, 09185606912) compatible with the 71918-260?

A: Yes, for electrical and mechanical compatibility. Both maintain 60 positions, 2.54mm pitch, 2-row configuration, and 4-wall shrouding. HARTING parts offer specified operating temperature ranges (-55°C ~ 125°C) and use copper alloy contacts with PBT insulation instead of phosphor bronze and thermoplastic. These differences do not affect pin-to-pin compatibility but may impact thermal and environmental performance characteristics.

Q: Why are 09185645913 and 09185645914 listed as substitutes if they have 64 positions?

A: These parts are listed as cross-reference options but are not direct substitutes due to the 64-position configuration versus the 60-position requirement. They are relevant only for applications where position count can be modified.

Q: What packaging options are available for substitute parts?

A: The 71918-260LF is supplied in tube packaging. HARTING SEK series parts are supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging selection may affect procurement logistics and handling requirements.

Q: Is the 71918-260 still available for purchase?

A: The 71918-260 is classified as obsolete but remains available with 941 pieces in stock. For new designs and long-term production support, the active-status 71918-260LF is recommended.
