Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 87023-610 is based on electrical and mechanical compatibility across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Receptacle with female socket contacts
• Position Count & Pitch: 20 positions at 0.050" (1.27mm) mating pitch with 2-row configuration
• Mounting & Termination: Surface mount with solder termination
• Contact Material & Finish: Beryllium copper with gold plating at 30.0µin thickness
• Mechanical Interface: Push-pull fastening with board guide features
• Environmental Rating: UL94 V-0 flammability compliance

The substitute part 87024-610LF maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all these parameters, ensuring direct functional equivalence for board-to-board interconnect applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 87024-610LF serves as the direct functional equivalent to the obsolete 87023-610. Both connectors share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, ensuring pin-for-pin compatibility in board-to-board interconnect applications.

The primary distinction between these parts is regulatory compliance status. The 87024-610LF carries active product status with RoHS compliance certification, while the 87023-610 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. For new designs or systems requiring regulatory compliance documentation, the 87024-610LF is the appropriate selection. For legacy system maintenance where RoHS compliance is not a requirement, either part may be used based on availability.

Inventory availability favors the 87024-610LF, with 3977 units in stock compared to 1018 units of the main part. Both parts are supplied in tube packaging and maintain identical MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 87023-610 and 87024-610LF mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mechanical specifications including pitch (0.050"), position count (20), row configuration (2 rows), mounting type (surface mount), and fastening mechanism (push-pull). They are directly interchangeable in board-to-board applications.

Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers?

A: The primary differences are product status and regulatory compliance. The 87024-610LF is an active product with RoHS compliance, while the 87023-610 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. All electrical and mechanical parameters are identical.

Q: Can I use the 87024-610LF as a replacement in existing designs using the 87023-610?

A: Yes. The 87024-610LF is functionally equivalent and maintains all electrical and mechanical specifications. No design modifications are required for substitution.

Q: What does the "LF" suffix in 87024-610LF indicate?

A: The "LF" suffix typically indicates lead-free or RoHS-compliant processing. This part meets RoHS compliance requirements, whereas the 87023-610 does not.

Q: Are there any differences in contact finish or plating between these parts?

A: No. Both parts feature identical gold plating on mating contacts at 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness and tin plating on post contacts. Contact material (beryllium copper) is identical.

Q: What is the packaging difference between these parts?

A: The 87024-610LF is supplied in tube packaging. The 87023-610 packaging specification is not provided in the technical data.

Q: Which part should I specify for new designs?

A: The 87024-610LF should be specified for new designs due to its active product status and RoHS compliance certification. This ensures long-term supply chain availability and regulatory compliance.
