Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 89898-306 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Connector geometry: 12 positions, 2 rows, 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch and row spacing
Electrical interface: Female socket contacts with gold mating finish
Mechanical interface: Surface mount termination with push-pull fastening
Physical envelope: 10.81mm mated stacking height
Material composition: Phosphor bronze contacts with thermoplastic glass-filled insulation

The substitute part 89898-306LF maintains identical specifications across all these parameters, differing only in product status and compliance certifications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 89898-306LF serves as the direct substitute for the obsolete 89898-306. Both connectors are functionally and mechanically identical across all electrical and physical parameters.

The primary distinction is product lifecycle status: the 89898-306LF is active and carries RoHS compliance certification, whereas the 89898-306 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. For new designs or ongoing production requiring compliance with current environmental regulations, the 89898-306LF is the appropriate selection. Both parts share identical REACH and MSL classifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 89898-306 and 89898-306LF mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical dimensions, pitch spacing, mating height, and mounting footprint. They are direct mechanical substitutes.

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

A: The 89898-306LF is the active production variant with RoHS compliance. The 89898-306 is obsolete and does not meet RoHS requirements. All electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Can I use the 89898-306LF in place of the 89898-306 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 89898-306LF maintains full compatibility with applications designed for the 89898-306, with the added benefit of RoHS compliance.

Q: What does the "LF" suffix indicate?

A: The "LF" designation indicates lead-free compliance, which is associated with RoHS certification.

Q: Are there any performance differences between these connectors?

A: No. Contact material, finish specifications, flammability rating, and all electrical characteristics are identical.

Q: What is the packaging difference?

A: The 89898-306LF is supplied in box packaging. Packaging specifications for the 89898-306 were not provided.
