89801-034LF Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 89801-034LF is a 34-position ribbon cable DIP header connector manufactured by Amphenol ICC (FCI) in the Quickie™ series. This through-hole, press-fit connector is designed for IDC termination with 26-28 AWG wire and features a blue housing with tin contact finish. The part is currently obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for ongoing system support and new design implementations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 89801-034LF is determined by strict equivalence in the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Position Count: Both main and substitute parts must be 34-position ribbon cable DIP header connectors
• Pitch Specifications: Cable pitch of 0.050" (1.27mm) and board-side pitch of 0.100" (2.54mm) are non-negotiable for PCB compatibility
• Row Configuration: 2-row layout with 0.100" (2.54mm) row spacing ensures mechanical fit
• Termination Method: IDC (Insulation Displacement Connector) termination is required for ribbon cable compatibility
• Mounting Technology: Through-hole, press-fit mounting maintains assembly compatibility
• Wire Gauge Compatibility: Acceptable wire gauge range must overlap with or encompass 26-28 AWG specification

The substitute part 1-111382-9 meets all these criteria, with the primary differences being manufacturer (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors), housing color (black vs. blue), contact finish (gold vs. tin), and product status (active vs. obsolete).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 1-111382-9 is the direct functional equivalent for the obsolete 89801-034LF. Selection between these parts should be based on the following factors:

For Replacement Applications: The 1-111382-9 is the appropriate choice due to its active product status and continued availability. The part maintains all critical mechanical and electrical parameters required for direct substitution.

Wire Gauge Consideration: The 1-111382-9 accepts a broader wire gauge range (26-30 AWG solid, 28 AWG stranded) compared to the original specification (26-28 AWG). This expanded range provides flexibility for ribbon cable sourcing while maintaining compatibility.

Contact Finish Difference: The gold contact finish on the 1-111382-9 provides enhanced corrosion resistance compared to the tin finish of the original part. This represents an improvement in long-term reliability.

Compliance Status: The 1-111382-9 carries RoHS3 compliance and EAR99 ECCN classification, meeting current regulatory requirements for new designs and procurement.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1-111382-9 be used as a direct replacement for the 89801-034LF in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical pitch specifications (0.050" cable pitch, 0.100" board-side pitch), row configuration (2 rows with 0.100" spacing), and mounting technology (through-hole, press-fit). The 34-position count and IDC termination method are identical, ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility.

Q: What is the significance of the wire gauge difference?

A: The original 89801-034LF specifies 26-28 AWG wire. The 1-111382-9 accepts 26-30 AWG solid or 28 AWG stranded wire. This broader specification is compatible with the original requirement and provides additional sourcing flexibility for ribbon cable procurement.

Q: Does the color difference (blue vs. black) affect functionality?

A: No. Housing color is a cosmetic attribute and does not impact electrical or mechanical performance. Both connectors are functionally equivalent.

Q: Why is the contact finish different?

A: The 1-111382-9 uses gold plating (5.00µin thickness) versus the tin finish (150.0µin thickness) on the original part. Gold provides superior corrosion resistance and is standard in modern connector designs. This represents a material improvement for long-term reliability.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: The 1-111382-9 is RoHS3 compliant and carries EAR99 ECCN classification, meeting current regulatory standards. The original 89801-034LF is marked as obsolete and does not carry current compliance certifications. For new designs and regulated applications, the 1-111382-9 is the appropriate choice.

Q: What is the packaging difference?

A: The 89801-034LF packaging information is not specified in available data. The 1-111382-9 is supplied in tube packaging, which is standard for DIP header connectors.
