Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the 89073-182 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

  • Connector type and gender (Header, Male Pins)
  • Position count and arrangement (24 positions, 4 rows)
  • Pitch specification (0.079" / 2.00mm)
  • Mounting method (Through Hole)
  • Termination style (Press-Fit)
  • Contact material and finish (Gold plating, 30.0µin thickness)
  • Electrical rating (1A current capacity)
  • Temperature operating range (-55°C to 125°C)
  • Flammability compliance (UL94 V-0)

The substitute part 89073-182LF meets all these criteria while offering improved compliance status and active product availability.
