Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 88922-136 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Configuration: 48 positions, 4-row layout, 0.079" (2.00mm) pitch
• Electrical Specifications: 1A current rating, gold contact finish at 30.0µin thickness
• Mechanical Interface: Through-hole mounting with press-fit termination
• Environmental Performance: Operating temperature range -55°C to 125°C, UL94 V-0 flammability rating
• Physical Characteristics: Male pin header, natural color, MSL 1 classification

The substitute part 88922-136LF maintains identical electrical, mechanical, and environmental specifications while differing only in product status (active versus obsolete) and packaging format (tube versus unspecified).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 88922-136LF serves as the direct functional equivalent to the obsolete 88922-136. Both parts share identical electrical performance, mechanical interface specifications, and environmental operating parameters. The primary distinction lies in product lifecycle status and regulatory compliance posture.

Selection of 88922-136LF is appropriate for new designs and ongoing procurement requirements. The active product status ensures continued availability and manufacturer support. The RoHS compliant designation of 88922-136LF aligns with current regulatory requirements in most markets, whereas the original 88922-136 carries REACH Unaffected status, indicating it predates current chemical substance regulations.

Both connectors maintain equivalent performance across all specified electrical and thermal parameters, ensuring direct interchangeability in applications requiring 48-position, 2.00mm pitch through-hole header connectors with 1A current capacity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 88922-136LF directly replace 88922-136 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain identical pin count (48), pitch (2.00mm), mounting type (through-hole), termination method (press-fit), current rating (1A), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C). Mechanical and electrical compatibility is complete.

Q: What is the significance of the "LF" suffix in 88922-136LF?

A: The "LF" designation indicates lead-free construction, reflecting RoHS compliance. This represents the modern manufacturing standard for this connector series while maintaining all functional specifications of the original part.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 88922-136LF is supplied in tube packaging, whereas the original 88922-136 packaging format is unspecified. Tube packaging is standard for active production parts and does not affect connector performance or compatibility.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to each part?

A: Both parts carry UL94 V-0 flammability rating and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity classification. The 88922-136LF additionally carries RoHS Compliant status. REACH regulatory status differs: the original part is REACH Unaffected, while the substitute is REACH Affected, reflecting updated chemical substance regulations.

Q: Is the 88922-136 still available for procurement?

A: The 88922-136 carries obsolete product status. The 88922-136LF is the active equivalent and is the recommended part for all new procurement and design activities.
