Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 87606-323LF is the direct functional equivalent of the obsolete 87606-323. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical connector parameters, including contact configuration, pitch, mounting method, and material composition.

The primary distinction between these parts is product status and regulatory compliance. The 87606-323LF is currently in active production status, whereas the 87606-323 is obsolete. Additionally, the 87606-323LF carries RoHS compliance certification and is REACH-affected, compared to the non-compliant status of the original part. These compliance differences may be relevant for applications subject to environmental or regulatory requirements.

Packaging differs between the two parts: the 87606-323 is supplied in bulk format, while the 87606-323LF is packaged in tubes. This distinction affects inventory management and component handling but does not impact functional performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 87606-323 and 87606-323LF mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts are 46-position receptacle connectors with identical pitch (0.100"), row spacing, mounting type (through-hole), and termination method (solder). They share the same contact geometry, insulation dimensions, and fastening mechanism.

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

A: The primary differences are product status (obsolete vs. active), RoHS compliance (non-compliant vs. compliant), REACH status (unaffected vs. affected), and packaging format (bulk vs. tube). The electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Can I use the 87606-323LF as a direct replacement for the 87606-323?

A: Yes, the 87606-323LF provides direct functional substitution. The identical connector specifications ensure compatibility with existing board designs and mating components. Regulatory compliance differences should be evaluated based on application requirements.

Q: Does packaging format affect connector performance?

A: No. Packaging format (bulk vs. tube) affects only component handling, storage, and inventory management. It does not influence electrical performance, mechanical fit, or contact reliability.

Q: Are there any compliance considerations when switching from 87606-323 to 87606-323LF?

A: The 87606-323LF is RoHS compliant and REACH-affected, whereas the 87606-323 is non-compliant and REACH-unaffected. Applications subject to RoHS or REACH regulations should use the 87606-323LF. Applications without such regulatory requirements may use either part based on availability.
