Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the 89006-179 is determined by strict adherence to the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

Critical Matching Parameters:

  • Number of Positions: 30
  • Number of Rows: 5
  • Pitch: 0.079" (2.00mm)
  • Connector Type: Header, Male Pins
  • Mounting Type: Through Hole
  • Termination: Press-Fit
  • Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 125°C
  • Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
  • Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

The substitute parts listed below maintain these core parameters, ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility with applications originally designed for the 89006-179. Variations in connector style (High Speed, Futurebus, Futurebus+®), color, current rating, and RoHS compliance status are secondary characteristics that do not affect the fundamental substitution relationship.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

89006-179LF (Amphenol ICC): This direct manufacturer equivalent maintains the Metral® series designation and all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary distinction is active product status and RoHS compliance, making this the preferred direct replacement for new designs and ongoing production requiring compliance with current environmental regulations.

5223011-1 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors): This Z-PACK series substitute maintains all core substitution parameters and operates within the same temperature and flammability specifications. ROHS3 compliance and active product status support long-term availability. The Futurebus connector style and 30V voltage rating represent design enhancements suitable for applications requiring higher voltage tolerance.

MP2-H030-51P1-S-KR (3M): This MetPak™ MP2 series substitute provides the highest current rating (1.5A) among available options and includes integrated board guide and mating guide features. RoHS compliance and active product status ensure supply chain continuity. The Futurebus+® connector style and beige color represent design evolution from the original specification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 89006-179LF directly replace the obsolete 89006-179?

A: Yes. The 89006-179LF maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including 30 positions, 5-row configuration, 0.079" pitch, through-hole mounting, and press-fit termination. The primary differences are active product status and RoHS compliance.

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

A: All three substitutes maintain the critical parameters (30 positions, 5 rows, 0.079" pitch, through-hole mounting, press-fit termination, -55°C to 125°C operating range, UL94 V-0 rating). Differences include connector style (High Speed, Futurebus, Futurebus+®), current rating (1A, not specified, 1.5A respectively), and color (Natural, Natural, Beige). The 3M option includes board guide and mating guide features.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: The 89006-179LF and MP2-H030-51P1-S-KR are RoHS compliant. The 5223011-1 is ROHS3 compliant. The original 89006-179 is RoHS non-compliant.

Q: Do the substitute parts support the same current rating as the original?

A: The 89006-179LF maintains the 1A rating. The MP2-H030-51P1-S-KR provides 1.5A. The 5223011-1 does not specify a current rating in the available documentation.

Q: Can these substitutes be used interchangeably in existing PCB designs?

A: Yes, provided the PCB footprint accommodates the 30-position, 5-row, 0.079" pitch configuration. The through-hole mounting and press-fit termination are consistent across all options. Color and connector style variations do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for all parts?

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