Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The 89891-305LF qualifies as a direct substitute based on the following critical parameters that determine functional and mechanical compatibility:

• Connector Type & Configuration: Both are receptacle connectors with identical bottom or top entry design
• Position Count & Pitch: Both feature 10 positions with 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch and 0.100" (2.54mm) row spacing
• Contact Specifications: Both use female socket contacts with gold mating finish at 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness
• Mounting & Termination: Both employ through-hole solder termination
• Insulation & Materials: Both use thermoplastic glass-filled insulation with UL94 V-0 flammability rating
• Series Designation: Both belong to the Dubox™ series

The primary distinction between these parts is product status and compliance certification. The 89891-305LF is an active product with RoHS compliance and REACH affected status, whereas the 89891-305 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 89891-305LF is the direct active substitute for the obsolete 89891-305. Both connectors are functionally and mechanically identical across all critical parameters including position count, pitch, contact configuration, and termination method.

Selection between these parts should be based on the following factors:

For new designs or systems requiring regulatory compliance: The 89891-305LF is the appropriate choice, as it carries active product status and RoHS compliance certification. This part meets current environmental and regulatory requirements.

For legacy system maintenance or repair: Either part may be used where the original 89891-305 was specified, provided that the application does not impose new RoHS compliance requirements. The 89891-305LF offers superior long-term availability due to its active product status.

Packaging consideration: The 89891-305LF is supplied in tube packaging, which may differ from the original part's packaging specification. Verify packaging requirements for your assembly process.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 89891-305LF be used as a direct replacement for the 89891-305?

A: Yes. The 89891-305LF is a direct substitute. Both connectors share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including 10-position configuration, 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, gold-plated mating contacts, and through-hole solder termination. The primary difference is product status and compliance certification.

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

A: The 89891-305 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant, while the 89891-305LF is an active product with RoHS compliance. The "LF" designation in the 89891-305LF indicates lead-free compliance. Both parts are mechanically and functionally equivalent.

Q: Are there any compatibility issues when substituting the 89891-305LF for the 89891-305?

A: No compatibility issues exist from an electrical or mechanical standpoint. Both connectors are designed for the same applications and mate with identical connector types. Verify that your assembly process accommodates the tube packaging of the 89891-305LF if packaging differs from your original specification.

Q: Which part should I specify for new designs?

A: Specify the 89891-305LF for new designs. This part carries active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain stability. It also meets current RoHS compliance requirements applicable to most industries.

Q: Is the 89891-305 still available for purchase?

A: The 89891-305 is listed as obsolete. While inventory may be available from existing stock (730 pcs noted), the 89891-305LF is the recommended active alternative with confirmed availability (941 pcs in stock).

Q: Do these connectors require any special handling or storage?

A: Both connectors carry Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) 1, indicating unlimited shelf life with no special moisture control requirements during storage or handling.
