Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The 89898-308ALF is a direct functional equivalent of the 89898-308A within the Amphenol ICC Dubox™ series. Substitution is valid based on the following critical parameters that remain identical:

• 16-position receptacle configuration
• 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch
• 2-row layout with 0.100" row spacing
• Surface mount termination
• Female socket contact type
• Gold mating contact finish
• Push-pull fastening mechanism
• UL94 V-0 flammability rating
• 10.81mm mated stacking height
• Thermoplastic, glass-filled insulation

The primary distinction between these parts is packaging format and product status. The 89898-308A is supplied in standard packaging and is obsolete, while the 89898-308ALF is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format and maintains active product status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 89898-308ALF is the direct substitute for the obsolete 89898-308A. All electrical and mechanical parameters are identical, ensuring functional compatibility in existing designs. The 89898-308ALF offers the following advantages:

• Active product status ensures long-term availability and supply chain continuity
• RoHS compliance meets current environmental and regulatory requirements
• Tape & Reel packaging supports automated assembly processes
• Identical contact geometry, pitch, and mating characteristics eliminate redesign requirements

For new designs or system refreshes, the 89898-308ALF is the appropriate selection. For legacy system support requiring the exact original part specification, the 89898-308A remains available in limited inventory (747 pcs).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 89898-308ALF be used as a direct replacement for the 89898-308A in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. The 89898-308ALF is electrically and mechanically identical to the 89898-308A. All contact configurations, mating pitch, row spacing, and fastening mechanisms are equivalent. The primary differences are packaging format (Tape & Reel vs. standard) and product status (Active vs. Obsolete).

Q: What is the significance of the RoHS compliance difference between these parts?

A: The 89898-308A is RoHS non-compliant, while the 89898-308ALF is RoHS Compliant. For applications subject to RoHS regulations or customer requirements, the 89898-308ALF is the appropriate selection.

Q: Does the Tape & Reel packaging of the 89898-308ALF affect compatibility?

A: No. Tape & Reel packaging is a supply format used for automated pick-and-place assembly. The connector itself is identical. The packaging difference does not affect electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: Are there any operating temperature or current rating specifications provided for these connectors?

A: Operating temperature and current rating specifications are not provided in the available technical data for either part. Consult the manufacturer's detailed datasheet for these parameters if required for your application.

Q: What is the Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) for these connectors?

A: Both parts have an MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.
