Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the 88975-101 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Number of positions and coaxial configuration (9 coax positions)
• Pitch specification (0.138" / 4.60mm)
• Row configuration (3 rows)
• Connector style (Rack and Panel)
• Mounting type (Free Hanging / In-Line)
• Connector usage (Receptacle)
• Color (Natural)
• Series compatibility (Metral®)

The substitute part 88975-101LF maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications while offering improved compliance status and active product availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 88975-101LF is the direct functional equivalent of the 88975-101 and is suitable for all applications requiring a 9-position coaxial rack and panel connector with the specified pitch and mounting configuration. Selection between these parts should be based on the following criteria:

For new designs and production: The 88975-101LF is the preferred choice due to its active product status and ROHS3 compliance, ensuring long-term availability and regulatory alignment.

For legacy system maintenance: The 88975-101 remains available in inventory (705 units) for applications where existing designs are locked to the original part number or where RoHS non-compliance is not a constraint.

Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, ensuring direct interchangeability in applications where compliance requirements and product lifecycle status are not limiting factors.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 88975-101 and 88975-101LF electrically and mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain identical specifications for number of positions (9 coax), pitch (0.138" / 4.60mm), row configuration (3 rows), connector style (Rack and Panel), mounting type (Free Hanging / In-Line), and connector usage (Receptacle). They are direct functional equivalents.

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

A: The 88975-101LF is the active production variant with ROHS3 compliance, while the 88975-101 is classified as obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. The "LF" designation indicates lead-free construction.

Q: Can I use the 88975-101LF as a replacement for the 88975-101 in existing designs?

A: Yes, provided that your application does not have explicit constraints against lead-free components or ROHS3-compliant materials. The electrical and mechanical performance is identical.

Q: What packaging options are available?

A: The 88975-101LF is supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging information for the 88975-101 was not specified in the available data.

Q: Are there any compliance or regulatory differences I should consider?

A: The 88975-101LF is ROHS3 compliant, while the 88975-101 is RoHS non-compliant. Both parts are REACH Unaffected and classified under ECCN EAR99. For applications subject to RoHS regulations, the 88975-101LF is the appropriate selection.
