Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 89006-146 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type and pin configuration (Header, Male Pins, 30 positions)
• Pitch specification (0.079" / 2.00mm)
• Row and column arrangement (5 rows)
• Mounting method (Through Hole)
• Termination technology (Press-Fit)
• Contact material and finish specifications (Gold plating, 30.0µin thickness)
• Electrical performance (1A current rating)
• Environmental compliance (UL94 V-0 flammability rating, operating temperature -55°C to 125°C)
• Base product family (Metral® series, base number 89006)

The substitute part 89006-146LF meets all these criteria while offering improved product status and regulatory compliance positioning.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 89006-146LF is the direct functional equivalent and recommended substitute for the obsolete 89006-146. Both connectors share identical electrical, mechanical, and thermal specifications within the Metral® product family.

The 89006-146LF offers two significant advantages for new designs and ongoing production:

1. Active product status ensures continued availability, technical support, and supply chain stability from Amphenol ICC.

2. RoHS compliance certification meets current regulatory requirements for electronic component procurement in most jurisdictions.

Both parts maintain identical contact geometry, pitch, current handling capacity, and operating temperature performance. PCB layout and mating interface compatibility are preserved between the two variants.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 89006-146 and 89006-146LF mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors feature identical 30-position, 2.00mm pitch header configurations with 5-row arrangements. Through-hole mounting footprints and press-fit termination specifications are equivalent. Direct PCB substitution is possible without layout modification.

Q: What is the difference between the 89006-146 and 89006-146LF?

A: The primary differences are product status and regulatory compliance. The 89006-146 is obsolete; the 89006-146LF is active production. The 89006-146LF carries RoHS compliance certification. Both maintain identical electrical performance, contact specifications, and operating parameters.

Q: Can the 89006-146LF be used in applications originally designed for the 89006-146?

A: Yes. The 89006-146LF meets or exceeds all electrical, mechanical, and environmental specifications of the original 89006-146. No design changes are required for direct substitution.

Q: What packaging is available for the 89006-146LF?

A: The 89006-146LF is supplied in tube packaging, suitable for both manual and automated assembly processes.

Q: Are there any thermal or current rating differences between these parts?

A: No. Both connectors are rated for 1A continuous current and operate across the identical temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. Contact finish thickness and gold plating specifications are equivalent.
