Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 84854-101 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type and style (Receptacle, Female Sockets, High Speed)
• Number of positions and contact layout (36 positions: 30 Signal, 6 Ground)
• Pitch specification (0.079" / 2.00mm)
• Row configuration (5 rows)
• Mounting method (Board Edge, Through Hole, Right Angle)
• Termination type (Press-Fit)
• Contact finish and thickness (Gold, 30.0µin)
• Current and temperature ratings (1A, -55°C ~ 105°C)
• Flammability compliance (UL94 V-0)

The identified substitute maintains full electrical and mechanical compatibility with the original part while offering improved product status and compliance characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 84854-101LF is the direct active equivalent of the obsolete 84854-101. Both parts are manufactured by Amphenol ICC within the Metral® 1000 series and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters.

The primary distinction between these parts is product lifecycle status and regulatory compliance. The 84854-101 is classified as obsolete with RoHS non-compliant status, while the 84854-101LF is an active product with full RoHS compliance. The "LF" suffix designation indicates lead-free contact finish compliance.

For new designs or ongoing production requiring this connector type, the 84854-101LF is the appropriate selection. For legacy system maintenance where the original part number must be retained, the 84854-101LF provides full form, fit, and function compatibility with improved compliance posture.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 84854-101 and 84854-101LF electrically and mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain identical specifications for connector type, position count, pitch, mounting configuration, termination method, contact layout, current rating, and operating temperature range. They are direct functional equivalents.

Q: What does the "LF" suffix indicate?

A: The "LF" designation indicates lead-free contact finish and RoHS compliance. The 84854-101LF meets current environmental and regulatory requirements, whereas the 84854-101 does not.

Q: Why is the 84854-101 listed as obsolete?

A: The original part number has been superseded by the 84854-101LF to align with RoHS compliance requirements and modern manufacturing standards. Amphenol ICC maintains the active equivalent as the current production offering.

Q: Does packaging differ between these parts?

A: Yes. The 84854-101 packaging is not specified, while the 84854-101LF is supplied in tube packaging. Verify packaging requirements for your procurement and assembly processes.

Q: Can I use the 84854-101LF as a direct replacement in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 84854-101LF provides full compatibility with designs originally specified for the 84854-101. No design modifications are required.

Q: Are there any compliance differences I should consider?

A: The 84854-101LF is RoHS compliant, making it suitable for applications subject to RoHS regulations. The original 84854-101 is RoHS non-compliant. Both parts maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating and identical electrical performance.
