Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 89009-120 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Number of Positions: 240
• Pitch: 0.079" (2.00mm)
• Number of Rows: 5
• Connector Type: Header, Male Pins
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Termination: Press-Fit
• Contact Finish: Gold
• Contact Finish Thickness: 30.0µin (0.76µm)
• Current Rating: 1A
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 125°C
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
• Series: Metral®
• Manufacturer: Amphenol ICC (FCI)

The substitute part 89009-120LF maintains full electrical and mechanical compatibility with the original 89009-120 across all specified parameters. The primary distinction is product status and regulatory compliance, with the substitute offering active availability and RoHS compliance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 89009-120LF is the direct substitute for the obsolete 89009-120. Both components are manufactured by Amphenol ICC within the Metral® series and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters including position count, pitch, contact rating, and operating temperature range.

The primary advantage of the 89009-120LF is its active product status and RoHS compliance. For applications subject to RoHS regulations or requiring long-term component availability, the 89009-120LF is the appropriate selection. The substitute maintains the same gold contact finish thickness, flammability rating, and current handling capacity as the original part.

Both components are classified as Moisture Sensitivity Level 1, indicating unlimited shelf life without special storage requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 89009-120LF be used as a direct replacement for the 89009-120?

A: Yes. The 89009-120LF maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters: 240 positions, 0.079" (2.00mm) pitch, 5-row configuration, through-hole mounting, press-fit termination, 1A current rating, and -55°C to 125°C operating temperature range. Both components feature gold-plated contacts with 30.0µin thickness and UL94 V-0 flammability rating.

Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers?

A: The primary differences are product status and regulatory compliance. The 89009-120 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant, while the 89009-120LF is an active product with RoHS compliance. The 89009-120LF also includes high-speed connector styling and is supplied in tube packaging rather than bulk.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns when substituting the 89009-120LF for the 89009-120?

A: No compatibility concerns exist. Both parts are from the same manufacturer series with identical position counts, pitch, mounting type, and termination method. PCB footprints and mating connector specifications remain unchanged.

Q: What is the packaging difference between these parts?

A: The 89009-120 is supplied in bulk packaging, while the 89009-120LF is supplied in tube packaging. This affects handling and storage logistics but does not impact electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: Does the RoHS compliance status affect component performance?

A: RoHS compliance indicates the absence of restricted substances (lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, PBBs, and PBDEs) in the component composition. This does not alter electrical or mechanical performance but is required for applications subject to RoHS regulations.
