Substitute Part Grouping Explanation
The 85854-165LF qualifies as a direct substitute for the 85854-165 based on the following critical parameters:
- Electrical Compatibility: Both parts maintain identical position count (120), pitch (0.079"/2.00mm), row configuration (5 rows), and current rating (1A)
- Mechanical Compatibility: Both use through-hole mounting with press-fit termination, ensuring PCB footprint and assembly process compatibility
- Contact Specifications: Identical gold contact finish thickness (30.0µin/0.76µm) and material flammability rating (UL94 V-0)
- Thermal Performance: Matching operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C)
- Series Continuity: Both belong to the Metral® connector series
The primary distinction is product status: the 85854-165 is obsolete, while the 85854-165LF is active production. The 85854-165LF introduces a high-speed connector style variant and improved compliance status (RoHS Compliant, REACH Affected versus REACH Unaffected).
