Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 94560-141 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Position Count: 240 positions (non-negotiable)
• Pitch Specification: 0.079" (2.00mm) (non-negotiable)
• Row Configuration: 5 rows (non-negotiable)
• Connector Type: Receptacle with female sockets (non-negotiable)
• Mounting Method: Through-hole PCB mounting (non-negotiable)
• Termination Type: Solder termination (non-negotiable)
• Electrical Ratings: Minimum 1A current, 1000V voltage (non-negotiable)
• Environmental Compliance: UL94 V-0 flammability rating (non-negotiable)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 105°C (non-negotiable)

The 94560-141LF meets all substitution criteria while offering enhanced specifications and active product status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 94560-141LF is the direct substitute for the obsolete 94560-141. Both components maintain identical mechanical and electrical specifications across all critical parameters. The 94560-141LF offers two significant advantages:

Product Status: The 94560-141LF carries active product status, ensuring long-term availability and continued manufacturer support, whereas the 94560-141 is obsolete.

Regulatory Compliance: The 94560-141LF is RoHS compliant, meeting current environmental regulations. The original 94560-141 is RoHS non-compliant, which may present procurement or deployment restrictions depending on application requirements and regional regulations.

Both components share identical electrical performance, thermal operating range, flammability rating, and mechanical interface specifications. Selection between them should be based on regulatory requirements and supply chain continuity needs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 94560-141LF be used as a direct replacement for the 94560-141?

A: Yes. The 94560-141LF maintains identical position count (240), pitch (0.079"), row configuration (5), connector type (receptacle female sockets), mounting method (through-hole), termination (solder), electrical ratings (1A, 1000V), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C). All mechanical and electrical interfaces are equivalent.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The 94560-141LF is the active production variant with RoHS compliance, while the 94560-141 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. The 94560-141LF also ships in tube packaging versus bulk packaging for the original part.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns when substituting the 94560-141LF for the 94560-141?

A: No compatibility concerns exist. Both connectors are mechanically and electrically identical across all interface specifications. PCB footprints, mating connector requirements, and electrical performance remain unchanged.

Q: Does RoHS compliance affect electrical or mechanical performance?

A: No. RoHS compliance relates to material composition and environmental regulations, not electrical or mechanical function. Both parts deliver identical performance in their respective applications.

Q: What packaging formats are available?

A: The 94560-141 is supplied in bulk packaging. The 94560-141LF is supplied in tube packaging, which may affect handling, storage, and integration into automated assembly processes.
