Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The 75231-002 can be substituted with the 75231-002LF based on the following critical parameters that determine functional equivalence:

• Wire Gauge Compatibility: Both parts support 28-32 AWG wire gauges
• Contact Type: Both are socket contacts with crimp termination
• Contact Finish: Both feature gold plating at 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness
• Series Alignment: Both belong to the Mini-PV™ Basics+ series
• Moisture Sensitivity: Both have MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited)
• Base Product Number: Both share the same base product number 75231

The primary distinction is the product status and regulatory compliance of the substitute part.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 75231-002LF is the direct equivalent for the obsolete 75231-002. Selection of the substitute part is based on the following engineering considerations:

Product Status: The 75231-002 is obsolete, making the active 75231-002LF the appropriate choice for new designs and ongoing production.

Regulatory Compliance: The 75231-002LF is RoHS Compliant, whereas the original part is RoHS non-compliant. For applications subject to RoHS directives or customer requirements, the substitute part satisfies regulatory requirements.

Functional Equivalence: All critical electrical and mechanical parameters are identical between the two parts, ensuring direct substitution without design modification.

Availability: The 75231-002LF is available in active inventory status, ensuring supply chain continuity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 75231-002LF directly replace the 75231-002 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. Both parts are socket contacts with identical wire gauge (28-32 AWG), contact termination (crimp), contact finish (gold at 30.0µin), and series designation (Mini-PV™ Basics+). The parts are mechanically and electrically interchangeable.

Q: What is the significance of the "LF" designation in the part number?

A: The "LF" suffix indicates Lead-Free composition, which aligns with RoHS compliance requirements. The 75231-002LF meets RoHS directives, whereas the original 75231-002 does not.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 75231-002 packaging is not specified in the available data. The 75231-002LF is supplied in Bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement specifications.

Q: Why is the original part marked as obsolete?

A: The 75231-002 is obsolete due to regulatory evolution and the industry transition to RoHS-compliant components. The 75231-002LF represents the current active equivalent.

Q: Are the moisture sensitivity levels identical?

A: Yes. Both parts have an MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.

Q: Can I use the 75231-002LF in applications originally designed for the 75231-002?

A: Yes, provided your application does not have specific constraints against lead-free materials or RoHS-compliant components. The electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.
