Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 89006-126 is determined by strict alignment with the following core parameters:

• Position Count: 30 positions (mandatory match)
• Pitch: 0.079" (2.00mm) (mandatory match)
• Row Configuration: 5 rows (mandatory match)
• Connector Type: Header with male pins (mandatory match)
• Mounting Method: Through-hole PCB mounting (mandatory match)
• Termination Style: Press-fit contacts (mandatory match)
• Contact Material: Gold plating (mandatory match)
• Operating Temperature: -55°C to 125°C minimum (mandatory match)
• Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0 (mandatory match)

Three substitute parts meet these criteria:

1. 89006-126LF (Amphenol ICC) — Direct manufacturer variant with active product status and RoHS compliance
2. 5223011-1 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors) — Futurebus-style header from the Z-PACK series with active status
3. MP2-H030-51P1-S-KR (3M) — Futurebus+® header from the MetPak™ MP2 series with enhanced current rating and integrated guides

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

89006-126LF is the primary substitute for direct replacement applications. This part maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the original 89006-126 while offering active product status and RoHS compliance. The LF designation indicates lead-free termination, making this variant suitable for modern manufacturing environments subject to RoHS regulations.

5223011-1 provides an alternative from TE Connectivity within the Z-PACK series. This Futurebus-style connector maintains all core dimensional and electrical parameters. The part carries ROHS3 compliance and active status. Selection of this variant is appropriate when TE Connectivity supply chain integration is preferred or when Futurebus connector architecture is specified in system requirements.

MP2-H030-51P1-S-KR from 3M offers enhanced functionality through integrated board and mating guides, plus a higher current rating of 1.5A compared to the 1A baseline. This MetPak™ MP2 series connector is suitable for applications requiring improved mechanical alignment or higher current capacity within the same 30-position, 2.00mm pitch configuration. RoHS compliance and active product status support modern design requirements.

All three substitutes maintain the mandatory parameters: 30 positions, 0.079" (2.00mm) pitch, 5-row configuration, through-hole mounting, press-fit termination, gold contact finish, -55°C to 125°C operating range, and UL94 V-0 flammability rating.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 89006-126LF be used as a direct replacement for 89006-126?

A: Yes. The 89006-126LF maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications including position count, pitch, row configuration, mounting type, termination method, contact finish, current rating, and operating temperature range. The primary differences are product status (active vs. obsolete) and RoHS compliance (compliant vs. non-compliant).

Q: What is the significance of the "LF" designation in 89006-126LF?

A: The LF suffix indicates lead-free termination, reflecting compliance with RoHS regulations. This designation does not alter the connector's functional performance or physical compatibility.

Q: Are the TE Connectivity 5223011-1 and 3M MP2-H030-51P1-S-KR connectors mechanically compatible with the original 89006-126?

A: Both connectors share the mandatory parameters: 30 positions, 0.079" (2.00mm) pitch, 5-row configuration, through-hole mounting, and press-fit termination. Mechanical compatibility is confirmed for these core dimensions. The 3M variant includes integrated board and mating guides, which represent functional enhancements rather than compatibility barriers.

Q: What is the difference in current rating between the original part and the 3M substitute?

A: The 89006-126 is rated for 1A continuous current. The MP2-H030-51P1-S-KR is rated for 1.5A. This higher rating in the 3M variant provides additional current capacity margin for applications requiring it, while remaining compatible with systems designed for the original 1A specification.

Q: Which substitute should be selected for new designs?

A: Selection depends on supply chain strategy and design requirements. The 89006-126LF is the closest functional equivalent from the original manufacturer. The 5223011-1 offers TE Connectivity integration. The MP2-H030-51P1-S-KR provides enhanced current capacity and mechanical guidance features. All three meet the core electrical and mechanical requirements of the original 89006-126.

Q: Are all substitute parts available in tube packaging?

A: Yes. The 89006-126LF, 5223011-1, and MP2-H030-51P1-S-KR are all supplied in tube packaging, consistent with standard backplane connector distribution methods.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to each substitute?

A: The 89006-126LF carries RoHS compliance. The 5223011-1 carries ROHS3 compliance. The MP2-H030-51P1-S-KR carries RoHS compliance. All three maintain UL94 V-0 flammability ratings and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity levels. The original 89006-126 is RoHS non-compliant.
