Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The 89891-308HLF serves as a direct substitute for the 89891-308H based on identical electrical and mechanical parameters. Substitution is valid when the following criteria are met:

• Connector type: Receptacle, Bottom or Top Entry
• Position count: 16 positions
• Pitch spacing: 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch with 0.100" (2.54mm) row spacing
• Mounting configuration: Through hole solder termination
• Contact system: Female socket with gold mating finish
• Insulation material: Thermoplastic, glass-filled construction
• Flammability rating: UL94 V-0

The primary distinction between these parts is product status and packaging format, with the 89891-308HLF representing the active production equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 89891-308HLF is the direct active equivalent for the obsolete 89891-308H. All electrical and mechanical parameters are identical, ensuring functional interchangeability in board-to-board applications requiring 16-position, 0.100" pitch receptacle connectors with through-hole solder termination.

The 89891-308HLF carries RoHS compliance and REACH affected status, whereas the 89891-308H is RoHS non-compliant. For new designs or applications subject to RoHS requirements, the 89891-308HLF is the appropriate selection. The packaging difference (tube versus bulk) reflects standard production formats for active versus obsolete product lines.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 89891-308HLF directly replace the 89891-308H in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 89891-308HLF is electrically and mechanically identical to the 89891-308H. All contact configurations, pitch spacing, mounting geometry, and termination methods are equivalent. The connector will function identically in board-to-board applications.

Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers?

A: The primary differences are product status and regulatory compliance. The 89891-308H is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant, while the 89891-308HLF is an active production part with RoHS compliance. Packaging format also differs: the 89891-308H is supplied in bulk, while the 89891-308HLF is supplied in tube packaging.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns when switching from 89891-308H to 89891-308HLF?

A: No compatibility concerns exist. The connectors share identical mating interfaces, contact geometry, and electrical characteristics. PCB footprints and mating connector requirements remain unchanged.

Q: Which part should be specified for new designs?

A: The 89891-308HLF should be specified for new designs. It is the active production equivalent with current regulatory compliance status and assured long-term availability.

Q: Does the RoHS compliance difference affect electrical performance?

A: No. RoHS compliance relates to material composition and regulatory status, not electrical performance. Both parts meet identical electrical specifications and will perform identically in circuit applications.
