Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 89094-902LF is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Configuration: Receptacle, female sockets, 120 positions, 5 rows, 0.079" (2.00mm) pitch
• Mounting & Termination: Board edge, through-hole, right-angle orientation with press-fit termination
• Electrical Performance: 1A current rating, 1000V voltage rating, -55°C to 105°C operating range
• Safety & Compliance: UL94 V-0 flammability rating
• Mechanical Features: Board guide and spacer provisions

The substitute part 89094-102LF maintains identical electrical, mechanical, and dimensional specifications while offering improved product status and supply availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 89094-102LF is the direct substitute for the obsolete 89094-902LF. Both connectors share identical electrical specifications, mechanical configuration, and safety certifications within the Metral® B series.

The 89094-102LF offers the following advantages:

• Active Product Status: Currently manufactured and supported by Amphenol ICC, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity
• RoHS Compliance: Meets RoHS requirements, supporting environmental and regulatory compliance objectives
• Specified Contact Finish: Gold plating at 30.0µin (0.76µm) provides defined contact resistance and corrosion resistance characteristics
• Established Inventory: 10,200 units in stock compared to 968 units of the obsolete variant

For new designs or production transitions, the 89094-102LF is the appropriate selection. For existing systems using the 89094-902LF, direct substitution is electrically and mechanically compatible.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 89094-102LF directly replace the 89094-902LF in existing applications?

A: Yes. Both connectors are identical in electrical performance (1A, 1000V), mechanical configuration (120 positions, 5 rows, 0.079" pitch, board edge right-angle mounting), and safety rating (UL94 V-0). The 89094-102LF includes specified gold contact plating, which provides equivalent or superior contact performance.

Q: What is the significance of the contact finish difference?

A: The 89094-902LF does not specify contact finish material, while the 89094-102LF specifies gold plating at 30.0µin (0.76µm). Gold plating provides defined contact resistance and corrosion resistance. This difference does not affect substitution compatibility; the specified finish on the 89094-102LF meets or exceeds the performance requirements of the original part.

Q: Why is the 89094-902LF classified as obsolete?

A: Obsolescence reflects the manufacturer's discontinuation of this specific part number. The 89094-102LF represents the current active production equivalent within the same Metral® B series, maintaining full functional and dimensional compatibility.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 89094-902LF packaging is not specified. The 89094-102LF is supplied in tube packaging. Packaging differences do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility; they reflect current manufacturing and distribution practices.

Q: Does RoHS compliance affect substitution?

A: The 89094-102LF is RoHS Compliant. RoHS compliance status does not prevent substitution; it indicates the part meets environmental and regulatory requirements for lead-free and restricted substance limitations. This is an advantage for new designs and regulatory compliance.

Q: What are the key parameters that determine substitution eligibility?

A: Substitution is determined by equivalence in connector type (receptacle, female, 120 positions), pitch (0.079" / 2.00mm), row configuration (5 rows), mounting method (board edge, through-hole, right-angle), termination type (press-fit), electrical ratings (1A, 1000V), temperature range (-55°C to 105°C), and safety certification (UL94 V-0). The 89094-102LF meets all these criteria.
