Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The 95228-301LF serves as a direct functional equivalent to the 95228-301. Substitution eligibility is determined by strict alignment across the following critical parameters:

Connector type, contact type, and gender (Header, Male Pin)
Position count and row configuration (34 positions, 2 rows)
Mating pitch and row spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm)
Mounting method and termination type (Through Hole, Solder)
Shrouding design (Shrouded - 2 Wall)
Contact geometry and material (Square, Phosphor Bronze)
Insulation composition and flammability rating (Polyester Glass Filled, UL94 V-0)

The 95228-301LF maintains identical mechanical and electrical interface characteristics, enabling direct substitution in applications originally specified for the 95228-301.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 95228-301LF is the designated active equivalent for the obsolete 95228-301. Selection of the 95228-301LF is appropriate for new designs and component replenishment due to its active product status and continued manufacturer support.

A key distinction exists in post-contact finish composition: the 95228-301 features Tin-Lead plating (150.0µin / 3.81µm thickness), while the 95228-301LF uses Tin plating (78.7µin / 2.00µm thickness). This difference reflects the transition to lead-free manufacturing standards. The 95228-301LF carries RoHS Compliant certification, whereas the 95228-301 is RoHS non-compliant. Both parts maintain identical mating contact finish specifications (Gold, GXT™) and equivalent mechanical interfaces.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 95228-301LF directly replace the 95228-301 in existing applications?

A: Yes. The 95228-301LF maintains identical mechanical and electrical interface specifications, including connector type, position count, pitch spacing, mounting method, and mating contact characteristics. Direct substitution is supported.

Q: What is the significance of the contact finish difference between these parts?

A: The 95228-301 uses Tin-Lead post plating, while the 95228-301LF uses Tin plating. This reflects the shift to lead-free manufacturing. The mating contact finish (Gold, GXT™) remains identical on both parts, ensuring equivalent signal integrity and mating performance.

Q: Why is the 95228-301 classified as obsolete?

A: The 95228-301 has been superseded by the 95228-301LF, which offers RoHS compliance and lead-free construction. Amphenol ICC has transitioned production to the active 95228-301LF variant.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 95228-301 packaging specification is not provided. The 95228-301LF is supplied in Bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement specifications.

Q: Do both parts meet the same flammability and moisture sensitivity standards?

A: Yes. Both the 95228-301 and 95228-301LF meet UL94 V-0 flammability rating and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity classification.
