Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The 94560-121LF qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical electrical and mechanical parameters. Substitution is valid when the following criteria are met:

  • Connector type, position count, and pitch remain unchanged
  • Mounting configuration (through-hole solder termination) is identical
  • Current and voltage ratings are equivalent or exceed requirements
  • Operating temperature range encompasses the original specification
  • Contact finish and flammability rating are maintained

The 94560-121LF maintains all critical parameters while offering improved compliance status, making it the appropriate replacement for the obsolete 94560-121.
