Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 89006-122 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Primary Matching Criteria:

• Number of positions: 30
• Pitch: 0.079" (2.00mm)
• Number of rows: 5
• Connector type: Header, Male Pins
• Mounting type: Through Hole
• Termination method: Press-Fit
• Contact finish: Gold
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 125°C
• Material flammability rating: UL94 V-0

Secondary Compatibility Factors:

• Current rating: 1A minimum
• Contact finish thickness: 30.0µin (0.76µm) or equivalent
• Moisture sensitivity level: 1 (Unlimited)

The three identified substitute parts meet these core electrical and mechanical parameters, enabling direct functional replacement in applications originally designed for the 89006-122. Variations in connector style (High Speed, Futurebus, Futurebus+®), color, and compliance status do not affect core substitutability but may influence selection based on system requirements and regulatory constraints.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

89006-122LF (Amphenol ICC): This direct variant of the original 89006-122 maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications while offering active product status and RoHS compliance. Selection of this part eliminates obsolescence risk and satisfies modern regulatory requirements without requiring PCB redesign or connector interface modification.

5223011-1 (TE Connectivity AMP): This Futurebus-style header from the Z-PACK series provides full dimensional and functional compatibility with the 89006-122. The part carries ROHS3 compliance and active status. The 30V voltage rating specification provides additional design margin for applications requiring voltage isolation documentation.

MP2-H030-51P1-S-KR (3M MetPak™ MP2): This Futurebus+® connector from the MetPak™ MP2 series exceeds the original current rating specification at 1.5A and includes integrated board guide and mating guide features. RoHS compliance and active product status support long-term supply chain stability. The enhanced current rating provides design flexibility for higher-power applications.

Selection among these three alternatives should be based on supply chain availability, cost considerations, and specific application requirements for connector style and integrated guidance features. All three parts satisfy the core electrical and mechanical substitution criteria established by the 89006-122 specification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 89006-122LF be used as a direct replacement for the obsolete 89006-122?

A: Yes. The 89006-122LF maintains identical pitch (0.079" / 2.00mm), position count (30), row configuration (5), contact finish (gold at 30.0µin), current rating (1A), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C). No PCB modification is required. The primary difference is active product status and RoHS compliance.

Q: What is the difference between the Futurebus and Futurebus+® connector styles?

A: Both styles maintain the same electrical and mechanical interface parameters required for substitution. The Futurebus+® variant (MP2-H030-51P1-S-KR) includes integrated board guide and mating guide features and supports a higher current rating (1.5A versus 1A). Connector style does not affect pin pitch, position count, or mounting compatibility.

Q: Are all three substitute parts suitable for new production designs?

A: All three substitute parts carry active product status and appropriate compliance certifications. The 89006-122LF and MP2-H030-51P1-S-KR are RoHS compliant; the 5223011-1 carries ROHS3 compliance. Selection should be based on supply chain availability, cost, and specific application requirements for current rating and integrated features.

Q: Does the higher current rating of the MP2-H030-51P1-S-KR (1.5A) affect compatibility?

A: No. A higher current rating indicates the part can safely handle greater current without degradation. Applications designed for 1A operation remain fully compatible. The higher rating provides additional design margin for applications requiring increased current capacity.

Q: What is the significance of the contact finish thickness specification?

A: Contact finish thickness (30.0µin / 0.76µm) determines contact durability and resistance to wear during mating cycles. The 89006-122, 89006-122LF, and MP2-H030-51P1-S-KR all specify this thickness, ensuring equivalent contact longevity. The 5223011-1 does not specify contact finish thickness but maintains gold plating for corrosion resistance.

Q: Can these connectors be used in applications requiring RoHS compliance?

A: The 89006-122LF and MP2-H030-51P1-S-KR are RoHS compliant. The 5223011-1 carries ROHS3 compliance. The original 89006-122 is RoHS non-compliant. For new designs or applications with RoHS requirements, select from the three compliant alternatives.
