Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 93235-133 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type and gender (Receptacle, Female Sockets)
• Position count (96 positions)
• Contact pitch (0.079" / 2.00mm)
• Row configuration (4 rows)
• Mounting method (Through Hole)
• Termination type (Solder)
• Electrical ratings (1A current, 1000V voltage)
• Operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C)
• Contact finish specification (Gold plating)
• Flammability rating (UL94 V-0)

The 93235-133LF meets all these criteria and serves as a direct functional equivalent. The primary distinction between these parts relates to product lifecycle status and regulatory compliance, not electrical or mechanical performance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 93235-133LF is the appropriate selection for new designs and ongoing production requirements. This part maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the 93235-133 while offering the following advantages:

• Active product status ensures long-term availability and manufacturer support
• RoHS compliance aligns with current regulatory requirements for electronic components
• REACH affected status indicates compliance with chemical substance regulations
• Tube packaging provides improved component protection during handling and storage

The 93235-133 remains suitable only for legacy system maintenance where existing inventory is available and regulatory compliance is not a requirement.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 93235-133 and 93235-133LF mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical connector geometry, pitch, row configuration, mounting footprint, and solder termination specifications. PCB layouts designed for the 93235-133 require no modification to accommodate the 93235-133LF.

Q: What is the significance of the "LF" suffix in the part number?

A: The "LF" designation indicates lead-free compliance, reflecting the part's RoHS compliance status. This affects the solder composition used during manufacturing but does not alter the connector's electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: Can the 93235-133 be used in new product designs?

A: The 93235-133 is classified as obsolete. New designs should specify the 93235-133LF to ensure component availability throughout the product lifecycle and compliance with current regulatory standards.

Q: Are there differences in contact reliability between these parts?

A: No. Both parts feature identical gold contact finish specifications (30.0µin / 0.76µm thickness), current rating (1A), and voltage rating (1000V). Contact performance and reliability are equivalent.

Q: How does packaging differ between these parts?

A: The 93235-133 is supplied in bulk packaging, while the 93235-133LF is supplied in tube packaging. Tube packaging provides enhanced protection during shipment and storage but does not affect component functionality.

Q: Are both parts suitable for the same temperature range applications?

A: Yes. Both parts are rated for -55°C to 105°C operating temperature and maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating across this entire range.
