Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 89883-321 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Position Count: Receptacle configuration with exactly 42 positions
• Pitch & Spacing: 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch and row spacing
• Mounting Configuration: Through-hole, right-angle orientation
• Contact System: Female socket contacts with gold mating finish and tin post finish
• Mechanical Compatibility: Identical insulation height (0.230"), contact length (0.114"), and contact shape (square)
• Material & Certification: Phosphor bronze contacts, thermoplastic glass-filled insulation, UL94 V-0 rating

The substitute part 89883-321LF meets all these criteria, maintaining full electrical and mechanical compatibility while offering improved compliance status and active product availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 89883-321LF is the direct substitute for the obsolete 89883-321. Selection should be based on the following factors:

Product Status & Availability: The 89883-321 is obsolete with limited remaining inventory (1143 pcs). The 89883-321LF maintains active product status with current availability (1089 pcs), ensuring long-term supply chain support and future procurement capability.

Regulatory Compliance: The 89883-321LF is RoHS Compliant and REACH Affected, meeting current environmental and chemical safety regulations. The original 89883-321 is RoHS non-compliant and REACH Unaffected, reflecting its legacy status. For new designs or systems requiring regulatory compliance documentation, the 89883-321LF is the appropriate selection.

Electrical & Mechanical Equivalence: Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical across all specified parameters. Pin-for-pin compatibility is assured. No circuit redesign or PCB layout modification is required when substituting the 89883-321LF for the 89883-321.

Packaging Consideration: The 89883-321LF is supplied in tube packaging, which is standard for production environments and supports automated assembly processes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Is the 89883-321LF a direct pin-for-pin replacement for the 89883-321?

A: Yes. The 89883-321LF is electrically and mechanically identical to the 89883-321 across all specified parameters, including connector type, position count, pitch, mounting configuration, contact materials, and finishes. No circuit modification or PCB redesign is required.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The 89883-321LF is the active production equivalent of the obsolete 89883-321. The key differences are product status (active vs. obsolete), RoHS compliance (compliant vs. non-compliant), and REACH status (affected vs. unaffected). Functionally and mechanically, they are identical.

Q: Can I use the 89883-321LF in legacy systems designed for the 89883-321?

A: Yes. The 89883-321LF maintains full compatibility with systems designed for the 89883-321. All electrical and mechanical specifications are identical, ensuring seamless integration into existing designs.

Q: Why should I transition from the 89883-321 to the 89883-321LF?

A: The 89883-321 is obsolete with limited inventory. Transitioning to the 89883-321LF ensures continued supply availability, meets current RoHS and REACH regulatory requirements, and provides long-term design support. For new production runs or system redesigns, the 89883-321LF is the recommended selection.

Q: Are there any packaging differences between the 89883-321 and 89883-321LF?

A: The 89883-321LF is supplied in tube packaging, which is standard for production environments. The original 89883-321 packaging specification is not provided in the technical data. Tube packaging supports automated assembly and is compatible with standard component handling equipment.

Q: What certifications and compliance standards apply to the 89883-321LF?

A: The 89883-321LF meets UL94 V-0 material flammability rating, is RoHS Compliant, and is REACH Affected. These certifications ensure compliance with environmental, chemical safety, and flammability standards applicable to electronic components in automotive, industrial, and telecommunications applications.
