Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The 91900-21541LF qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical electrical and mechanical parameters. Substitution eligibility is determined by the following critical parameters:

  • Connector type and contact configuration (Header, Center Strip Contacts)
  • Position count (41 positions)
  • Pitch specification (0.039" / 1.00mm)
  • Row configuration (2 rows)
  • Mounting technology (Surface Mount)
  • Contact finish material and thickness (Gold or Gold, GXT™ at 15.0µin)
  • Physical dimensions (7mm mated stacking height, 0.147" height above board)
  • Solder retention feature presence

The 91900-21541LF maintains all these parameters identically to the main part, establishing full functional and mechanical compatibility.
