Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The 74741-172LF qualifies as a direct substitute for the 84860-1003LF based on the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Position Count: Both are 30-position male pin headers
• Pitch & Mechanical Geometry: Identical 0.079" (2.00mm) pitch with 5-row configuration
• Mounting & Termination: Both use through-hole mounting with solder termination
• Contact Properties: Matching gold finish at 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness
• Electrical & Safety Compliance: Both rated UL94 V-0 and MSL 1
• Series Compatibility: Both belong to the Metral® connector series

The primary distinction is product status: 84860-1003LF is obsolete, while 74741-172LF is active production with documented inventory availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 74741-172LF is the appropriate active production equivalent for the obsolete 84860-1003LF. Both components share identical mechanical and electrical specifications within the Metral® series, ensuring direct form-fit-function compatibility in PCB header applications.

The 74741-172LF offers additional documented specifications including 1A current rating, -55°C to 125°C operating temperature range, and RoHS compliance status, providing enhanced design documentation for modern applications. The active production status ensures ongoing availability and supply chain continuity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 74741-172LF be used as a direct replacement for 84860-1003LF in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical pitch (0.079" / 2.00mm), position count (30), row configuration (5), mounting type (through-hole), and contact finish specifications. PCB layouts and mating connector requirements remain unchanged.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: The 84860-1003LF is obsolete. The 74741-172LF is the active production equivalent from the same manufacturer and series, ensuring continued component availability.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 84860-1003LF packaging is not specified in available documentation. The 74741-172LF is supplied in tube packaging. Verify packaging requirements for your procurement process.

Q: Does the 74741-172LF meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both parts are rated UL94 V-0 for material flammability and MSL 1 (Unlimited moisture sensitivity). The 74741-172LF additionally carries RoHS compliance certification.

Q: Are there electrical performance differences?

A: The 74741-172LF specifies 1A current rating and -55°C to 125°C operating temperature. The original part does not provide these specifications in available documentation. These ratings apply to the substitute component for design verification purposes.
