Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The 88911-201LF qualifies as a direct substitute for the 88911-201 based on matching electrical and mechanical parameters:

Matching Parameters:

• Connector type: Housing for female sockets
• Connector style: Rack and panel
• Position count: 1 (coax)
• Mounting type: Through hole
• Connector usage: Receptacle
• Features: Board guide
• Color: Natural
• Moisture sensitivity level: 1 (Unlimited)
• Base product number: 88911
• HTSUS classification: 8536.69.4040
• ECCN classification: EAR99

The primary distinction between these parts is product status and RoHS compliance. The 88911-201LF is the active production equivalent with RoHS compliance, while the 88911-201 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 88911-201LF is the appropriate selection for new designs and ongoing procurement. This part maintains full electrical and mechanical compatibility with the obsolete 88911-201 while offering active product status and RoHS compliance. The transition from 88911-201 to 88911-201LF presents no functional impact on system performance or mechanical fit. For applications subject to RoHS regulatory requirements, the 88911-201LF is mandatory. Both parts share identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications, ensuring consistent export and tariff treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 88911-201 and 88911-201LF mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts feature identical connector type, style, position count, mounting type, and board guide configuration. Through-hole mounting dimensions and receptacle interface specifications are equivalent.

Q: What is the primary reason to transition from 88911-201 to 88911-201LF?

A: The 88911-201 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. The 88911-201LF is the active production equivalent with RoHS compliance, ensuring long-term availability and regulatory alignment.

Q: Does packaging differ between these parts?

A: Yes. The 88911-201 packaging is not specified in available documentation. The 88911-201LF is supplied in bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement specification.

Q: Are there electrical performance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts are 1-position coaxial housings for female sockets with identical electrical specifications. Moisture sensitivity level, ECCN, and HTSUS classifications are identical.

Q: Can the 88911-201 be used in new designs?

A: No. The 88911-201 is obsolete. New designs must specify the 88911-201LF to ensure component availability and compliance with current regulatory standards.

Q: What does the "LF" suffix indicate?

A: The "LF" suffix indicates lead-free construction, which is associated with RoHS compliance. This represents the manufacturing standard transition from the non-compliant 88911-201.
