Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution compatibility for the 88916-102 is determined by strict alignment of the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Connector pitch: 0.157" (4.00mm)
• Number of positions: 6 (Power)
• Number of rows: 2
• Connector style: Rack and Panel
• Mounting configuration: Board Edge, Through Hole, Right Angle
• Connector usage: Receptacle
• Housing color: Natural
• Feature set: Positions Molded Closed

The 88916-202LF meets all these criteria as a direct substitute within the Metral® series, maintaining identical electrical and mechanical interfaces while offering improved compliance status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 88916-202LF is the direct substitute for the obsolete 88916-102. Both connectors maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications within the Metral® series, ensuring pin-for-pin compatibility and functional equivalence in rack and panel applications.

The 88916-202LF offers the advantage of active product status with RoHS compliance, addressing regulatory requirements for new designs and ongoing procurement. The "LF" designation indicates lead-free manufacturing, aligning with modern environmental and safety standards.

Selection between these parts should be based on regulatory compliance requirements and component availability. For applications requiring RoHS compliance or long-term supply assurance, the 88916-202LF is the appropriate choice.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 88916-102 and 88916-202LF electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors maintain identical pitch (0.157" / 4.00mm), position count (6 power positions), row configuration (2 rows), and receptacle usage. Electrical performance and pin assignments are equivalent.

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

A: The primary differences are product status and compliance. The 88916-102 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant, while the 88916-202LF is active and RoHS compliant. The "LF" suffix indicates lead-free construction. Both maintain identical mechanical and electrical interfaces.

Q: Can I use the 88916-202LF as a direct replacement in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 88916-202LF provides direct mechanical and electrical compatibility with the 88916-102. No design modifications are required for substitution.

Q: What does "Positions Molded Closed" mean?

A: This feature indicates that unused connector positions are molded closed, preventing accidental contact insertion and improving connector integrity.

Q: Are contacts included with these connectors?

A: No. Both the 88916-102 and 88916-202LF are supplied without contacts. Contacts must be procured separately according to application requirements.

Q: What is the significance of the packaging difference?

A: The 88916-102 is supplied without specified packaging, while the 88916-202LF is supplied in bag packaging. This does not affect electrical or mechanical performance.
