Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 87471-615 are qualified based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence within the Rib-Cage™ series. The critical parameters determining substitutability are:

Connector type (Receptacle), contact type (Female Socket), and style (Board to Board)
Position count (30) and pitch configuration (0.050" mating pitch, 0.050" row spacing)
Mounting method (Surface Mount) and termination type (Solder)
Contact finish specification (Gold or Gold, GXT™) and material composition (Beryllium Copper)
Insulation material (Thermoplastic, Glass Filled) and flammability rating (UL94 V-0)

Parts meeting these criteria are functionally equivalent for PCB layout and mating interface purposes. Differences in product status and compliance certifications are noted for procurement and regulatory considerations.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 87471-615 is obsolete and should be replaced with an active equivalent for new designs and ongoing procurement. Both substitute parts—87471-615LF and 87024-615LF—are electrically and mechanically equivalent and maintain full compatibility with the original part's PCB footprint and mating interface.

The 87471-615LF is the direct successor to the 87471-615, sharing the same base product number (87471) and offering active product status with RoHS compliance. This part is the primary choice for direct replacement in existing designs.

The 87024-615LF is the manufacturer-recommended alternative, also offering active status and RoHS compliance. This part uses a different base product number (87024) but maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between 87471-615LF and 87024-615LF should be based on procurement availability and supply chain considerations.

Both substitute parts are RoHS compliant and REACH affected, meeting current regulatory requirements for industrial and telecommunications applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 87471-615LF directly replace the 87471-615 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 87471-615LF is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the 87471-615. Both parts share identical connector type, position count, pitch, mounting method, and contact specifications. The primary difference is product status (active versus obsolete) and RoHS compliance.

Q: What is the difference between 87471-615LF and 87024-615LF?

A: Both parts are functionally equivalent with identical electrical and mechanical parameters. The difference lies in the base product number (87471 versus 87024). Selection should be based on procurement availability and supply chain strategy. Both are active products with RoHS compliance.

Q: Are the substitute parts compatible with the original PCB layout?

A: Yes. All three parts maintain identical pitch (0.050"), row spacing (0.050"), insulation height (0.187"), and surface mount termination specifications. PCB footprints designed for the 87471-615 are compatible with both substitute parts.

Q: What packaging is available for the substitute parts?

A: Both 87471-615LF and 87024-615LF are supplied in tube packaging, as specified in the product data.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between the main part and substitutes?

A: Yes. The 87471-615 is RoHS non-compliant, while both 87471-615LF and 87024-615LF are RoHS compliant. The substitute parts are also REACH affected. For applications requiring RoHS compliance, the substitute parts are required.

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

A: All three parts have a Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.
