Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution between the main part 87471-605 and the equivalent part 87471-605LF is based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter matching. Both parts share identical specifications across all critical dimensions and functional characteristics:

Key Parameters Determining Substitutability:

• Connector type, contact type, and style (Receptacle, Female Socket, Board to Board)
• Position count and pitch (10 positions at 0.050" mating pitch)
• Row configuration (2 rows at 0.050" spacing)
• Mounting and termination method (Surface Mount, Solder)
• Contact material and finish (Beryllium Copper with Gold mating surface)
• Insulation material and flammability rating (Thermoplastic, Glass Filled, UL94 V-0)

The primary distinction between these parts is RoHS compliance status, which affects regulatory qualification and supply chain requirements rather than physical or electrical performance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Selection between 87471-605 and 87471-605LF is determined by regulatory and compliance requirements:

87471-605 is suitable for applications where RoHS compliance is not mandated or where legacy component qualification is required. This part maintains active production status and is available in moderate inventory quantities.

87471-605LF is the appropriate selection for applications subject to RoHS directives or where RoHS-compliant component specifications are contractually required. This variant offers higher inventory availability (1786 pieces) and meets current regulatory standards for restricted substance use. The "LF" designation indicates lead-free compliance.

Both parts are classified as MSL 1 (Unlimited moisture sensitivity level) and carry identical electrical and mechanical specifications, ensuring direct interchangeability in board-to-board connector applications within the Rib-Cage™ series.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are 87471-605 and 87471-605LF physically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts are identical in all physical dimensions, contact configuration, pitch, mounting footprint, and mechanical interface. They can be substituted directly without PCB redesign or mechanical modification.

Q: What does the "LF" suffix indicate?

A: The "LF" designation indicates lead-free (RoHS compliant) construction. The 87471-605LF meets RoHS directive requirements for restricted substance elimination, while the 87471-605 does not carry this compliance certification.

Q: Which part should I specify for new designs?

A: For new designs, specify 87471-605LF to ensure compliance with current RoHS regulations and future supply chain requirements. This part is also available in higher inventory quantities.

Q: Are there any electrical performance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts share identical contact material (Beryllium Copper), contact finish specifications (Gold mating surface at 30.0µin thickness), and all electrical characteristics. Performance is equivalent.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these connectors?

A: Both parts are classified as MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. Standard handling and storage practices apply without special environmental controls.

Q: Can these parts be used in industrial and telecommunications applications?

A: Yes. Both 87471-605 and 87471-605LF are rated for General Purpose, Industrial, and Telecommunications applications. The UL94 V-0 flammability rating and thermoplastic glass-filled insulation support these application categories.

Q: What is the pitch specification for these connectors?

A: Both parts feature 0.050" (1.27mm) mating pitch with 2 rows spaced at 0.050" (1.27mm) row spacing, providing a compact 10-position board-to-board interface.
