Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 89006-144 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Position Count & Pitch: All substitute parts must maintain 30 positions at 0.079" (2.00mm) pitch to ensure PCB footprint compatibility
• Connector Configuration: Male pin headers with 5-row arrangement required for mechanical and electrical interchangeability
• Mounting & Termination: Through-hole mounting with press-fit termination is mandatory for assembly process compatibility
• Contact Material & Finish: Gold plating on contacts ensures equivalent electrical performance and corrosion resistance
• Electrical Rating: Current rating of 1A minimum and operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C must be maintained
• Flammability Compliance: UL94 V-0 rating required for safety-critical applications

The three substitute parts listed below meet these core substitution criteria while offering varying levels of regulatory compliance and product availability status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

89006-144LF (Amphenol ICC): This is the direct manufacturer upgrade path from the obsolete 89006-144. It maintains identical mechanical and electrical specifications while achieving RoHS compliance. The LF designation indicates lead-free termination. This part is recommended as the primary replacement for legacy 89006-144 applications requiring minimal design changes and maximum form-factor compatibility.

5223011-1 (TE Connectivity AMP): This Z-PACK series connector provides full functional equivalence with ROHS3 compliance. The Futurebus connector style and 30V voltage rating indicate suitability for backplane applications. This option is appropriate when cross-manufacturer qualification is acceptable and TE Connectivity supply chain integration is preferred.

MP2-H030-51P1-S-KR (3M MetPak™ MP2): This Futurebus+® connector offers the highest current rating at 1.5A and includes integrated board and mating guides for enhanced mechanical stability. RoHS compliance and REACH unaffected status support regulatory requirements. This option is suitable for applications requiring superior mechanical retention and higher current capacity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 89006-144LF be used as a direct replacement for 89006-144?

A: Yes. The 89006-144LF maintains identical pitch, position count, row configuration, and press-fit termination. Both parts share the same 0.079" (2.00mm) pitch and 5-row arrangement, ensuring PCB footprint compatibility. The primary difference is RoHS compliance status and lead-free termination in the LF variant.

Q: What are the key differences between the three substitute options?

A: All three substitutes maintain the 30-position, 2.00mm pitch, 5-row configuration required for mechanical interchangeability. The 89006-144LF is the direct Amphenol upgrade. The 5223011-1 introduces a cross-manufacturer option from TE Connectivity with Futurebus styling. The MP2-H030-51P1-S-KR from 3M provides the highest current rating (1.5A) and integrated mechanical guides.

Q: Are there any electrical performance differences between these parts?

A: All parts maintain the same operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C) and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. The 89006-144 and 89006-144LF are rated for 1A. The 5223011-1 does not specify current rating in available documentation. The MP2-H030-51P1-S-KR is rated for 1.5A, providing higher current capacity.

Q: Which substitute is recommended for new designs?

A: Selection depends on supply chain strategy and regulatory requirements. For Amphenol ecosystem continuity, use 89006-144LF. For cross-manufacturer flexibility with ROHS3 compliance, use 5223011-1. For applications requiring maximum current capacity and mechanical retention features, use MP2-H030-51P1-S-KR.

Q: Are all substitutes RoHS compliant?

A: The 89006-144 is RoHS non-compliant. The 89006-144LF is RoHS Compliant. The 5223011-1 is ROHS3 Compliant. The MP2-H030-51P1-S-KR is RoHS Compliant. All three substitutes meet modern RoHS requirements.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these connectors?

A: All four parts, including the main part and all substitutes, have a Moisture Sensitivity Level of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no special moisture control requirements during storage or handling.
