Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 95242-306B is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type and entry configuration (Receptacle, Bottom or Top Entry)
• Position count and arrangement (12 positions, 2 rows)
• Mating pitch and row spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Contact configuration (Female Socket)
• Mounting technology (Surface Mount)
• Fastening mechanism (Push-Pull)
• Contact finish specification (Gold plating on mating surface)
• Insulation material and flammability rating (Thermoplastic, Glass Filled; UL94 V-0)

The substitute part 95242-306BLF maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all these parameters, differing only in product status (Active vs. Obsolete) and packaging format (Tube vs. unspecified).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 95242-306BLF is a direct functional equivalent to the 95242-306B. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications within the Dubox™ series.

The primary distinction is regulatory compliance: the 95242-306BLF carries RoHS Compliant status, while the 95242-306B is RoHS non-compliant. For applications subject to RoHS directives or requiring compliance documentation, the 95242-306BLF is the appropriate selection.

The 95242-306B's obsolete status necessitates transition planning. The 95242-306BLF, with active product status and higher inventory availability (1007 Pcs vs. 721 Pcs), provides supply chain continuity for new designs and ongoing production requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 95242-306BLF directly replace the 95242-306B in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors are electrically and mechanically identical across all specified parameters, including pitch, position count, contact configuration, and fastening mechanism. No design modifications are required for substitution.

Q: What is the significance of the "LF" suffix in the part number 95242-306BLF?

A: The "LF" designation indicates Lead-Free construction, which correlates with the RoHS Compliant status of this variant. The 95242-306B does not carry this designation and is RoHS non-compliant.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 95242-306BLF is supplied in Tube packaging. The 95242-306B packaging format is not specified in the available data. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement process.

Q: Why is the 95242-306B listed as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the manufacturer has discontinued active production. The 95242-306BLF, as an active product variant, represents the current manufacturing offering within this connector family.

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

A: Yes. Both parts carry UL94 V-0 material flammability rating, MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity level, and EAR99 export classification. The primary regulatory difference is RoHS compliance status.

Q: Is the gold plating thickness identical on both parts?

A: Yes. Both parts specify 30.0µin (0.76µm) gold plating thickness on mating contacts and 78.7µin (2.00µm) tin plating on post contacts.
