Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 87471-625 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Receptacle)
• Contact type (Female Socket)
• Number of positions (50)
• Pitch specification (0.050" / 1.27mm)
• Row configuration (2 rows at 0.050" spacing)
• Mounting method (Surface Mount)
• Termination type (Solder)
• Fastening mechanism (Push-Pull)
• Contact finish specification (Gold or Gold, GXT™)
• Insulation material (Thermoplastic, Glass Filled)
• Contact material (Beryllium Copper)
• Flammability rating (UL94 V-0)

The substitute parts 87471-625LF and 87024-625LF meet all these criteria. The primary distinction between the main part and substitutes is product status and regulatory compliance, not functional or mechanical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both substitute parts are functionally and mechanically equivalent to the 87471-625. Selection between them is based on product status and regulatory compliance:

87471-625LF is the direct substitute with identical base product number (87471). This part is active and RoHS compliant, providing a direct replacement path for the obsolete 87471-625.

87024-625LF is the manufacturer-recommended alternative with a different base product number (87024). This part is also active and RoHS compliant. The manufacturer designation as "recommended" indicates this as the preferred long-term solution for new designs and ongoing production.

Both substitute parts carry REACH Affected status and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The choice between 87471-625LF and 87024-625LF depends on design constraints, supply chain considerations, and long-term availability requirements. The 87024-625LF offers higher inventory availability (2155 pcs vs. 673 pcs) and represents the manufacturer's current production standard.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 87471-625LF be used as a direct replacement for 87471-625?

A: Yes. The 87471-625LF maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications including connector type, position count, pitch, mounting method, contact materials, and finish specifications. The primary differences are product status (active vs. obsolete) and RoHS compliance.

Q: What is the difference between 87471-625LF and 87024-625LF?

A: Both parts are functionally equivalent with identical specifications for connector type, positions, pitch, mounting, and contact materials. The difference is the base product number (87471 vs. 87024). The 87024-625LF is designated as the manufacturer-recommended part and has higher inventory availability.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the substitute parts?

A: Both substitute parts are supplied in Tube packaging. The main part 87471-625 does not specify packaging information.

Q: Do the substitute parts meet RoHS requirements?

A: Yes. Both 87471-625LF and 87024-625LF are RoHS Compliant, whereas the main part 87471-625 is RoHS non-compliant. Both substitute parts are also REACH Affected.

Q: What is the Moisture Sensitivity Level for these connectors?

A: All three parts (main and substitutes) have MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in existing designs?

A: Yes. The substitute parts maintain identical mechanical and electrical specifications, allowing direct substitution in existing board designs without layout or schematic modifications.
