Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 84501-101 is determined by electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. The following parameters must remain constant across substitute parts:

• Number of positions: 300
• Pitch: 0.050" (1.27mm)
• Number of rows: 10
• Connector type: Array, Female Sockets
• Mounting type: Surface Mount
• Contact finish: Gold
• Contact finish thickness: 30.0µin (0.76µm)
• Height above board: 0.132" (3.35mm)
• Mated stacking heights: 4mm, 10mm
• Moisture sensitivity level: 1 (Unlimited)

The primary difference between the main part and its substitute is packaging format and RoHS compliance status. The 84501-101LF variant is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging and meets RoHS compliance requirements, whereas the 84501-101 is supplied in bulk packaging and is RoHS non-compliant.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 84501-101 and 84501-101LF are active production parts from Amphenol ICC (FCI) with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts depends on application requirements and regulatory compliance:

The 84501-101 in bulk packaging is suitable for applications without RoHS compliance mandates. The 84501-101LF in Tape & Reel packaging is required for applications subject to RoHS regulations or for automated assembly processes that require tape-and-reel format. Both parts maintain REACH Unaffected status and identical contact performance characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 84501-101LF replace the 84501-101 in my design?

A: Yes. The 84501-101LF is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the 84501-101. The only differences are packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Bulk) and RoHS compliance status. Functional performance and board-level compatibility are identical.

Q: What is the difference between bulk and Tape & Reel packaging?

A: Bulk packaging supplies components loose in a container, suitable for manual assembly or low-volume applications. Tape & Reel packaging supplies components on continuous tape in reels, designed for automated pick-and-place assembly equipment. The 84501-101LF designation indicates Tape & Reel format.

Q: Does RoHS compliance affect electrical performance?

A: No. RoHS compliance relates to material composition and the absence of restricted substances. The 84501-101LF meets RoHS requirements while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical performance to the 84501-101.

Q: Are there any height or footprint differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts have identical height above board (0.132" / 3.35mm) and mated stacking heights (4mm, 10mm). PCB footprint and mechanical mounting are identical.

Q: Which part should I specify for new designs?

A: Specify the 84501-101LF for new designs. It provides RoHS compliance, is supplied in Tape & Reel format suitable for modern manufacturing processes, and maintains full compatibility with the 84501-101 specification.
