Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the 86453-020LF is determined by the following critical parameters that must match or exceed the original specification:

Core Matching Criteria:

• Pitch - Mating: 0.079" (2.00mm)
• Number of Positions: 20
• Number of Rows: 2
• Row Spacing - Mating: 0.079" (2.00mm)
• Connector Type: Header
• Contact Type: Male Pin
• Mounting Type: Through Hole, Right Angle
• Termination: Solder
• Fastening Type: Push-Pull
• Contact Material: Phosphor Bronze
• Insulation Color: Black

Electrical Performance Criteria:

• Current Rating: 2A minimum
• Voltage Rating: 200V minimum
• Operating Temperature Range: Must encompass -40°C to 105°C

Compliance Criteria:

• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0 minimum
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

All substitute parts listed meet these core criteria. Variations in contact finish thickness, insulation material composition, and specific contact length dimensions do not affect functional interchangeability within the defined electrical and mechanical parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Recommendation: Samtec TMM Series (TMM-110-01-F-D-RA, TMM-110-01-L-D-RA, TMM-110-01-S-D-RA, TMM-110-01-G-D-RA)

The Samtec TMM series connectors are active products with ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status. These parts exceed the original 86453-020LF specifications with extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C) and higher current ratings (3.2A per contact). All TMM variants maintain identical mechanical and electrical compatibility with the original part.

Secondary Recommendation: Harwin M22-2541005

The Harwin M22-2541005 is an active product with ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status. It matches the original operating temperature range (-40°C to 105°C) and current rating (2A). The cuttable header feature provides design flexibility for applications requiring custom configurations.

Tertiary Recommendation: Molex 0877602017

The Molex Milli-Grid 0877602017 is an active product with UL94 V-0 flammability rating and ROHS3 compliance. This option provides alternative sourcing from a major connector manufacturer with established supply chain availability.

Secondary Recommendation: Samtec TMMH Series (TMMH-110-01-F-D-RA, TMMH-110-01-L-D-RA)

The Samtec TMMH series offers cuttable header variants with extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C), ROHS3 compliance, and REACH Unaffected status. These parts are suitable for applications requiring custom position configurations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use any of these substitute parts as a direct replacement for the 86453-020LF?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts meet the core mechanical and electrical parameters: 2.00mm pitch, 20 positions in 2 rows, through-hole right-angle mounting, solder termination, and push-pull fastening. They are functionally interchangeable within the defined specifications.

Q: What is the difference between the Samtec TMM and TMMH series?

A: The TMMH series features cuttable headers, allowing custom position configurations by removing individual positions. The TMM series provides fixed 20-position headers. Both series maintain identical electrical performance and operating temperature ranges.

Q: Why do some substitute parts have higher current ratings than the original?

A: The Samtec TMM and TMMH series are rated for 3.2A per contact, exceeding the original 2A specification. This higher rating does not affect compatibility; it indicates improved current-carrying capability for applications requiring higher power delivery.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: All active substitute parts (Molex 0877602017, Harwin M22-2541005, and all Samtec variants) are ROHS3 compliant. The original 86453-020LF RoHS status is not specified in the provided data.

Q: What packaging options are available?

A: Packaging varies by manufacturer: Molex 0877602017 is supplied in Tray; Harwin M22-2541005 in Bulk; Samtec TMM series in Bulk; Samtec TMMH series in Tube. Packaging selection should align with production volume and handling requirements.

Q: Do these parts have the same contact finish specifications?

A: Contact finish specifications vary slightly. All parts feature gold-plated mating contacts. Post finishes include tin (most variants) or gold (TMM-110-01-G-D-RA). These variations do not affect electrical or mechanical interchangeability.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for each substitute?

A: The original 86453-020LF operates from -40°C to 105°C. Harwin M22-2541005 matches this range. All Samtec variants (TMM and TMMH series) extend the range to -55°C to 125°C, providing broader environmental compatibility. Molex 0877602017 operating temperature is not specified.

Q: Are these parts suitable for automotive applications?

A: The Molex 0877602017 is explicitly rated for automotive applications. Other substitute parts are suitable for general-purpose and telecommunications applications. Automotive-specific requirements should be confirmed with the connector manufacturer for the selected part.
