Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute components for the 85854-153 are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter matching within the Metral® series. The following parameters define substitution eligibility:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Number of positions: 120
• Pitch: 0.079" (2.00mm)
• Number of rows: 5
• Connector type: Header, Male Pins
• Mounting type: Through Hole
• Termination method: Press-Fit
• Contact finish: Gold at 30.0µin (0.76µm)
• Current rating: 1A
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 125°C
• Material flammability rating: UL94 V-0
• Moisture sensitivity level: 1 (Unlimited)

The 85854-153LF qualifies as a direct substitute based on complete alignment with all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary distinction is product status and compliance certification level.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 85854-153LF is the appropriate substitute for the obsolete 85854-153 based on the following factors:
