Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 89898-320B is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type and entry configuration (Receptacle, Bottom or Top Entry)
• Contact count and arrangement (40 positions, 2 rows)
• Pitch specifications (0.100" mating pitch, 0.100" row spacing)
• Mounting technology (Surface Mount)
• Contact gender and finish (Female Socket, Gold mating surface)
• Mechanical envelope (Mated Stacking Heights: 10.81mm)
• Insulation material and flammability rating (Thermoplastic Glass Filled, UL94 V-0)
• Fastening mechanism (Push-Pull)

The substitute part 89898-320BLF maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all these parameters, with the primary distinction being packaging format and product status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 89898-320BLF is the direct substitute for the obsolete 89898-320B. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, ensuring functional interchangeability in board-to-board applications.

The primary differentiators are:

• Product Status: The 89898-320B is obsolete, while the 89898-320BLF maintains active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.
• RoHS Compliance: The 89898-320BLF is RoHS Compliant, whereas the 89898-320B is RoHS non-compliant. For applications subject to RoHS regulations, the 89898-320BLF is the required selection.
• REACH Status: The 89898-320BLF is REACH Affected, indicating compliance with REACH substance restrictions. The 89898-320B is REACH Unaffected.
• Packaging: The 89898-320BLF is supplied in Tube packaging, providing standardized handling and storage.

For new designs and ongoing procurement, the 89898-320BLF is the appropriate selection. For legacy system support where the original 89898-320B is specified, the 89898-320BLF provides full functional equivalence with improved regulatory compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 89898-320B and 89898-320BLF mechanically interchangeable?
