Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 90098-130 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Header with male pins, 60 positions in 2-row arrangement
• Pitch Specifications: 0.050" (1.27mm) mating pitch and row spacing
• Mechanical Interface: Surface mount with shrouded 4-wall construction, push-pull fastening
• Electrical Interface: Solder termination with square contact geometry
• Environmental Ratings: Operating temperature range -55°C ~ 130°C, UL94 V-0 flammability rating
• Physical Envelope: 8.26mm mated stacking height, 0.298" (7.57mm) insulation height

The substitute part 90098-130LF maintains identical mechanical and electrical specifications while differing in product status (active vs. obsolete), RoHS compliance status, and contact finish post material composition.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 90098-130LF serves as the direct active equivalent to the obsolete 90098-130. Both components share identical mechanical and electrical specifications, ensuring direct form-fit-function compatibility in board-to-board connector applications.

The primary distinction between these parts is product lifecycle status and regulatory compliance. The 90098-130 is classified as obsolete and does not meet RoHS compliance requirements. The 90098-130LF is an active product that achieves RoHS compliance, making it the appropriate selection for new designs and applications subject to RoHS directives.

The contact finish post material differs between the two parts: the 90098-130 uses Tin-Lead while the 90098-130LF uses Tin. This change aligns with lead-free manufacturing standards and does not affect electrical performance or mechanical compatibility.

Both parts maintain identical environmental ratings, flammability classifications, and moisture sensitivity levels, confirming their functional equivalence for thermal and environmental operating conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 90098-130 and 90098-130LF mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain identical pitch spacing (0.050" / 1.27mm), position count (60 positions in 2 rows), mounting type (surface mount), shrouding configuration (4-wall), and mated stacking height (8.26mm). They are direct mechanical substitutes with identical PCB footprints.

Q: What is the difference between the contact finish post materials?

A: The 90098-130 uses Tin-Lead post finish while the 90098-130LF uses Tin post finish. This reflects the transition to lead-free manufacturing standards. Both finishes provide equivalent electrical performance and solder joint reliability.

Q: Why is the 90098-130 marked as obsolete?

A: The 90098-130 is an older product variant that does not meet current RoHS compliance requirements. Amphenol ICC has transitioned to the 90098-130LF as the active product offering, which incorporates lead-free materials and maintains RoHS compliance.

Q: Can I use the 90098-130LF as a direct replacement in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 90098-130LF is a direct functional equivalent with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. It is suitable for replacement in applications originally designed for the 90098-130.

Q: What is the packaging difference between these parts?

A: The 90098-130 packaging specification is not provided. The 90098-130LF is supplied in Tube packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement specifications.

Q: Are the operating temperature ranges identical?

A: Yes. Both parts operate across the identical temperature range of -55°C to 130°C with UL94 V-0 flammability rating, ensuring equivalent thermal performance.

Q: What is the MSL rating for these connectors?

A: Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity limitations for storage or handling.
