Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the FF0225SS1 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Position Count & Pitch: 25 positions at 0.3mm pitch are mandatory for mechanical and electrical compatibility
• Mounting Configuration: Surface mount, right-angle orientation with bottom contact placement
• Electrical Ratings: Voltage and current ratings must meet or exceed the original specification
• Locking Mechanism: Flip lock feature ensures consistent mating and retention
• Contact Material & Finish: Gold-plated copper alloy contacts maintain signal integrity
• Termination Method: Solder termination for PCB integration
• Environmental Compliance: UL94 V-0 flammability rating and operating temperature range

The substitute part 10061122-251120HLF from Amphenol ICC (FCI) meets these core substitution criteria across position count, pitch, mounting type, contact configuration, and locking feature. Variations in secondary parameters such as housing material, voltage rating, current rating, and mating cycle count are documented in the parameter comparison table below.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the FF0225SS1 and 10061122-251120HLF are classified as obsolete products. Selection between these parts must account for the following compliance and performance considerations:

Voltage & Current Derating: The FF0225SS1 is rated for 50V and 0.35A per contact, while the 10061122-251120HLF is rated for 30V and 0.2A per contact. Applications requiring the full voltage or current capacity of the original part must verify that the substitute's lower ratings remain acceptable for the intended circuit design.

Temperature Range: The FF0225SS1 operates from -40°C to 85°C, while the 10061122-251120HLF extends the lower operating limit to -55°C. Applications requiring operation below -40°C benefit from the substitute's expanded temperature range.

Mating Cycle Durability: The FF0225SS1 is rated for 20 mating cycles, compared to 10 cycles for the 10061122-251120HLF. High-frequency connector engagement applications should account for this difference in mechanical durability.

Compliance Status: The FF0225SS1 is REACH Unaffected, while the 10061122-251120HLF is REACH Affected and RoHS Compliant. Applications subject to regulatory compliance requirements must verify alignment with applicable standards.

Housing Material: The FF0225SS1 uses Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP), while the 10061122-251120HLF uses halogen-free thermoplastic. Both materials meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 10061122-251120HLF directly replace the FF0225SS1 in all applications?

A: Direct replacement is possible only when the application's voltage, current, and mating cycle requirements do not exceed the substitute's ratings. The 10061122-251120HLF is rated for 30V and 0.2A per contact compared to the FF0225SS1's 50V and 0.35A per contact. Circuit design verification is required to confirm compatibility.

Q: What are the key mechanical compatibility factors?

A: Both connectors share identical mechanical specifications: 25 positions, 0.3mm pitch, surface mount right-angle configuration, bottom contact placement, flip lock mechanism, and straight cable end type. PCB footprint and mating interface are compatible.

Q: How do the packaging formats differ?

A: The FF0225SS1 packaging format is not specified in the available data. The 10061122-251120HLF is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) packaging. Verify packaging requirements for your procurement and assembly process.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these parts?

A: The FF0225SS1 is REACH Unaffected, while the 10061122-251120HLF is REACH Affected and RoHS Compliant. Applications subject to REACH or RoHS regulations must verify that the substitute meets applicable requirements.

Q: What is the impact of the lower mating cycle rating on the substitute?

A: The 10061122-251120HLF is rated for 10 mating cycles compared to 20 for the FF0225SS1. Applications involving frequent connector engagement should evaluate whether the reduced cycle rating is acceptable for the intended use case.

Q: How do the operating temperature ranges compare?

A: The FF0225SS1 operates from -40°C to 85°C, while the 10061122-251120HLF operates from -55°C to 85°C. The substitute provides extended low-temperature capability, which may be beneficial for certain environmental applications.
