Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 84516-102 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Configuration: 200 positions, 10 rows, 0.050" (1.27mm) pitch
• Electrical Characteristics: Male pins with gold contact finish at 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness
• Mechanical Compatibility: Surface mount mounting type with identical mated stacking heights (4mm, 6mm, 8mm) and height above board (0.132" / 3.35mm)
• Series Designation: MEG-Array® and MezzSelect™ series membership
• Manufacturer: Amphenol ICC (FCI)

The substitute part 84516-102LF maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Differences are limited to packaging format and regulatory compliance status, which do not affect functional interchangeability in the connector array application.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

84516-102: Select this part number when bulk packaging is acceptable and RoHS non-compliant components are permitted in your design or manufacturing environment. This variant is suitable for applications without regulatory RoHS requirements.

84516-102LF: Select this part number when RoHS compliance is mandatory. The "LF" designation indicates RoHS compliance and REACH applicability. This variant is supplied in Cut Tape and Digi-Reel® packaging formats, which are standard for automated assembly processes. The 84516-102LF is the preferred choice for designs requiring regulatory compliance documentation.

Both part numbers are functionally and mechanically identical. Selection between them depends on compliance requirements and packaging format compatibility with your assembly process.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are 84516-102 and 84516-102LF electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical electrical specifications: 200 positions, 0.050" pitch, gold contact finish at 30.0µin thickness, and male pin configuration. They are direct functional equivalents.

Q: What does the "LF" suffix in 84516-102LF indicate?

A: The "LF" designation indicates Lead-Free and RoHS compliance. The 84516-102LF meets RoHS requirements and is REACH affected, whereas the 84516-102 is RoHS non-compliant.

Q: Can I use 84516-102LF in place of 84516-102 in existing designs?

A: Yes, provided your design and manufacturing environment support RoHS-compliant components. The mechanical and electrical specifications are identical, ensuring drop-in compatibility.

Q: What is the difference in packaging between these two part numbers?

A: The 84516-102 is supplied in Bulk packaging. The 84516-102LF is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) and Digi-Reel® formats, which are optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly equipment.

Q: Are there any differences in moisture sensitivity or storage requirements?

A: No. Both parts have identical Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no special moisture control is required during storage or handling.

Q: Which part should I specify for new designs?

A: For new designs, specify 84516-102LF if RoHS compliance is required by your application, customer, or regulatory jurisdiction. If RoHS compliance is not a requirement, either part number is acceptable based on packaging and supply chain preferences.
