Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 95735-404 is determined by strict equivalence across mechanical and electrical parameters. The primary substitute, 95735-404LF, maintains identical specifications for all critical mating characteristics: connector type, contact configuration, pitch spacing, position count, row arrangement, mounting methodology, shrouding design, and termination approach. Both parts utilize phosphor bronze contacts with plastic insulation and achieve UL94 V-0 flammability compliance.

The key differentiators between the main part and its substitute are:

• Product Status: 95735-404 (Obsolete) vs. 95735-404LF (Active)
• RoHS Compliance: 95735-404 (Non-compliant) vs. 95735-404LF (Compliant)
• Contact Finish - Mating: 95735-404 (Tin-Lead) vs. 95735-404LF (Tin)
• Contact Finish Thickness - Mating: 95735-404 (120.0µin / 3.05µm) vs. 95735-404LF (100.0µin / 2.54µm)

These differences do not affect mechanical interchangeability or functional performance in standard applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 95735-404LF is the direct functional equivalent of the obsolete 95735-404. Selection of the 95735-404LF is appropriate for new designs and ongoing production support due to its active product status and RoHS compliance. The transition from tin-lead to tin plating on mating contacts represents a standard industry evolution aligned with environmental and regulatory requirements. Both parts maintain identical mechanical interfaces, mounting characteristics, and electrical performance parameters.

For applications subject to RoHS directives or requiring components with active manufacturer support, the 95735-404LF is the specified choice. The contact finish thickness reduction from 120.0µin to 100.0µin remains within acceptable engineering tolerances for standard connector applications and does not compromise contact reliability or service life.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 95735-404 and 95735-404LF mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical mechanical dimensions, mounting interfaces, and shrouding configurations. The 4-position, single-row header with 0.100" pitch spacing and through-hole mounting is identical across both part numbers.

Q: What is the significance of the "LF" suffix in the 95735-404LF part number?

A: The "LF" designation indicates lead-free compliance. The 95735-404LF uses tin plating instead of tin-lead plating on mating contacts and is RoHS compliant, reflecting current environmental and regulatory standards.

Q: Can the 95735-404 be used in new designs?

A: The 95735-404 is classified as obsolete. New designs should specify the 95735-404LF to ensure long-term component availability and manufacturer support.

Q: Are there differences in contact finish that affect performance?

A: Both parts use phosphor bronze base material with plated finishes. The 95735-404 uses tin-lead plating at 120.0µin thickness, while the 95735-404LF uses tin plating at 100.0µin thickness. Both finishes provide adequate contact resistance and corrosion protection for standard applications.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these connectors?

A: Both the 95735-404 and 95735-404LF carry MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage or handling.

Q: Are both parts UL94 V-0 rated?

A: Yes. Both the 95735-404 and 95735-404LF meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements, confirming compliance with fire safety standards for plastic insulation materials.
