Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The 85863-112LF is a direct functional equivalent to the 85863-112. Substitution is valid based on the following matching parameters:

• Connector type and gender (Receptacle, Female Sockets)
• Position count and arrangement (30 positions, 5 rows)
• Contact pitch (0.079" / 2.00mm)
• Mounting configuration (Board Edge, Through Hole, Right Angle)
• Electrical ratings (1A current, 1000V voltage)
• Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 105°C)
• Contact finish specification (Gold, 30.0µin)
• Flammability rating (UL94 V-0)

The primary distinction between these parts is product status and compliance certification. The 85863-112LF represents the active production equivalent with updated regulatory compliance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 85863-112LF is the appropriate selection for new designs and ongoing procurement. This part maintains full electrical and mechanical compatibility with the obsolete 85863-112 while offering the following advantages:

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 85863-112LF replace the 85863-112 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. The 85863-112LF is a direct functional equivalent. All electrical ratings, mechanical dimensions, contact pitch, mounting configuration, and termination method are identical. No board redesign or interface modification is required.

Q: What is the significance of the "LF" suffix in the part number?

A: The "LF" designation indicates lead-free construction, reflecting RoHS compliance. This is the primary distinction between the two part numbers and represents the transition from the obsolete 85863-112 to the current production 85863-112LF.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: Yes. The 85863-112 was supplied in bulk packaging, while the 85863-112LF is packaged in tubes. This difference does not affect component functionality or electrical performance.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to the 85863-112LF?

A: The 85863-112LF is RoHS compliant and REACH affected. It maintains the UL94 V-0 flammability rating and all electrical certifications of the original part.

Q: Is the 85863-112 still available for purchase?

A: The 85863-112 is obsolete. The 85863-112LF is the active production equivalent and is the recommended part for all new orders and system maintenance.

Q: Do the contact finish specifications differ between these parts?

A: No. Both parts feature gold-plated contacts with 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness, ensuring identical electrical performance and corrosion resistance.
