Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The 91601-305LF qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical electrical and mechanical parameters. Substitution is determined by the following critical parameters that must match:

• Number of positions: 5
• Pitch - mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Connector type: Receptacle, Bottom or Top Entry
• Mounting type: Surface Mount
• Contact finish - mating: Gold
• Contact finish - post: Tin
• Fastening type: Push-Pull
• Insulation material: Thermoplastic, Glass Filled
• Material flammability rating: UL94 V-0
• Mated stacking height: 10.81mm

The 91601-305LF maintains full compatibility with the original 91601-305 across all specified mechanical and electrical interfaces.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 91601-305LF is the direct functional equivalent of the obsolete 91601-305. Both connectors share identical mechanical and electrical specifications across all critical parameters. The primary distinction is product status: the 91601-305LF is active and currently in production, while the 91601-305 is obsolete.

For new designs and ongoing production, the 91601-305LF is the appropriate selection. The substitute part maintains full compatibility with existing PCB layouts and mating connectors. The 91601-305LF carries RoHS compliance and REACH affected status, reflecting current regulatory requirements, whereas the original part does not meet these standards.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 91601-305LF be used as a direct replacement for the 91601-305?

A: Yes. The 91601-305LF is mechanically and electrically identical to the 91601-305 across all specified parameters, including connector type, position count, pitch, mounting method, contact finishes, and stacking height.

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

A: The primary differences are product status and regulatory compliance. The 91601-305 is obsolete, while the 91601-305LF is active. The 91601-305LF is RoHS compliant and REACH affected, whereas the 91601-305 is RoHS non-compliant and REACH unaffected. The 91601-305LF is supplied in tube packaging.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns when substituting the 91601-305LF for the 91601-305?

A: No compatibility concerns exist. Both parts are from the same Dubox™ series and maintain identical mating interfaces, contact configurations, and mechanical dimensions.

Q: What applications are these connectors suitable for?

A: Both connectors are designed for automotive, general purpose, industrial, and telecommunications applications requiring board-to-board connections with push-pull fastening.

Q: Does the packaging difference affect compatibility?

A: No. Packaging format (tube for the 91601-305LF versus unspecified for the 91601-305) does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. Packaging is a logistics consideration only.
