Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 84512-002 is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

• Connector type (Array, Male Pins)
• Number of positions (100)
• Pitch specification (0.050" / 1.27mm)
• Number of rows (10)
• Mounting technology (Surface Mount)
• Contact finish material and thickness (Gold, 15.0µin)
• Mated stacking height (4mm)
• Height above board (0.132")
• Series designation (MEG-Array®, MezzSelect™)

The substitute part 84512-002LF meets all electrical and mechanical parameters required for direct substitution. The primary distinction between the main part and its substitute relates to RoHS compliance status and inventory availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Selection between 84512-002 and 84512-002LF is determined by regulatory and compliance requirements:

84512-002 is suitable for applications where RoHS compliance is not mandated or where legacy component specifications are required.

84512-002LF is the appropriate selection for applications subject to RoHS directives or where RoHS-compliant component specifications are contractually required. This part maintains identical electrical and mechanical characteristics while meeting lead-free and hazardous substance restrictions.

Both parts carry Active product status, indicating ongoing manufacturer support and availability. Inventory levels show 84512-002LF has higher stock availability (1540 units versus 902 units).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are 84512-002 and 84512-002LF electrically and mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts are identical in connector type, position count, pitch, mounting technology, contact finish specifications, and physical dimensions. They differ only in RoHS compliance status.

Q: What does the "LF" designation indicate?

A: The "LF" suffix indicates lead-free construction and RoHS compliance. The part meets restrictions on hazardous substances as defined by RoHS regulations.

Q: Can I use 84512-002LF as a direct replacement for 84512-002 in existing designs?

A: Yes, provided your application or contract does not specifically require the non-compliant version. The LF variant is a direct substitute with no design modifications required.

Q: Are there any differences in contact finish or plating between these parts?

A: No. Both parts feature identical gold contact finish at 15.0µin (0.38µm) thickness.

Q: Which part should I specify for new designs?

A: Specify 84512-002LF for new designs unless RoHS exemption applies to your application. This ensures compliance with current regulatory standards and provides better inventory availability.

Q: Do both parts have the same moisture sensitivity level?

A: Yes. Both parts are classified as MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage or handling.
