Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the 88916-201 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

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

The substitute part 88916-201LF maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications while offering active product status and improved compliance certifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 88916-201LF is the direct substitute for the obsolete 88916-201. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, ensuring pin-for-pin and form-factor compatibility.

The 88916-201LF offers two significant advantages:

• Active product status ensures ongoing availability and supply chain reliability
• RoHS compliance certification meets current regulatory requirements for new designs and applications subject to RoHS directives

Selection between these parts depends on application requirements. The 88916-201 remains suitable for legacy systems and maintenance of existing equipment. The 88916-201LF is specified for new designs and applications requiring RoHS compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 88916-201 and 88916-201LF mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mounting type (board edge, through hole, right angle), position count (6 power), pitch (0.157" / 4.00mm), and row configuration (2 rows). They are direct mechanical substitutes.

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

A: The primary differences are product status and RoHS compliance. The 88916-201 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. The 88916-201LF is active and RoHS compliant. The "LF" suffix indicates lead-free construction.

Q: Can I use the 88916-201LF in place of the 88916-201 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 88916-201LF is a direct substitute with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. It is suitable for retrofit applications and replacement in legacy systems.

Q: Does packaging differ between these parts?

A: The 88916-201LF is supplied in bag packaging. Packaging for the 88916-201 is not specified in available documentation.

Q: Are contacts included with these connectors?

A: No. Both the 88916-201 and 88916-201LF are supplied without contacts. Contacts must be sourced separately.

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

A: Both parts have MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.
