Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the 84688-102 is determined by strict equivalence across all electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary substitute identified is the 84688-102LF, which maintains identical specifications for connector type, position count, pitch, row configuration, mounting method, termination style, contact layout, contact finish, current rating, operating temperature range, and flammability rating.

The key parameters that define substitutability are:

• 72-position receptacle configuration with female sockets
• 0.079" (2.00mm) pitch spacing
• 5-row arrangement
• Board edge, through-hole, right-angle mounting
• Press-fit termination
• 60 signal and 12 ground contact layout
• Gold contact finish at 30.0µin thickness
• 1A current rating per contact
• -55°C to 105°C operating temperature range
• UL94 V-0 flammability classification

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 84688-102LF is the direct substitute for the 84688-102. Both parts are manufactured by Amphenol ICC and belong to the Metral® 1000 series with identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

The primary distinction between these parts is product status and regulatory compliance. The 84688-102 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant, while the 84688-102LF is active and RoHS compliant. For new designs and applications subject to RoHS regulations, the 84688-102LF is the appropriate selection. For legacy system maintenance where the original part specification must be maintained, the 84688-102 remains available in inventory.

Both parts are classified as REACH Unaffected and REACH Affected respectively, and carry the same EAR99 export classification and HTSUS code 8536.69.4040.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 84688-102LF be used as a direct replacement for the 84688-102?

A: Yes. The 84688-102LF is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the 84688-102. Both connectors have identical position counts, pitch spacing, mounting configuration, contact layout, current ratings, and operating temperature ranges. The primary difference is product status and RoHS compliance.

Q: What is the difference between the 84688-102 and 84688-102LF?

A: The 84688-102LF is the active production variant with RoHS compliance. The 84688-102 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. All electrical and mechanical parameters are identical between the two parts.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: Yes. The 84688-102LF is supplied in tube packaging, while the 84688-102 packaging is not specified in the available data.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: The 84688-102LF should be selected for new designs, particularly for applications subject to RoHS regulations. This part is in active production status and carries current compliance certifications.

Q: Can these connectors be used interchangeably in existing assemblies?

A: Yes, provided the assembly design accommodates the specified packaging format. Both parts maintain identical form, fit, and function characteristics across all electrical and mechanical parameters.

Q: What is the contact current rating for this connector?

A: Each contact is rated for 1A maximum current. With 60 signal contacts, the total signal current capacity is 60A under standard operating conditions within the -55°C to 105°C temperature range.
