Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The 91901-31321LF qualifies as a direct substitute for the 91900-21321 based on matching electrical and mechanical parameters. Substitution is valid when the following criteria are met:

  • Identical number of positions (21)
  • Identical pitch specification (0.039" / 1.00mm)
  • Identical row configuration (2 rows)
  • Identical mounting technology (Surface Mount)
  • Identical contact finish specification (Gold or Gold, GXT™)
  • Identical contact finish thickness (15.0µin / 0.38µm)
  • Identical mated stacking height (5mm)
  • Identical height above board (0.068" / 1.73mm)
  • Identical connector type (Header, Center Strip Contacts)
  • Identical solder retention feature

The primary distinction between these parts is product status and packaging format. The 91901-31321LF is an active component supplied in Tape & Reel packaging, whereas the 91900-21321 is obsolete.
