HM2H27P16 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The HM2H27P16 is a 125-position shroud for male pins connector manufactured by Amphenol ICC (FCI) in the Millipacs® series. This through-hole hard metric Type B backplane connector is designed for header applications with a 0.079" (2.00mm) pitch and 5 + 2 row configuration. The part is currently obsolete, making identification of suitable substitute components essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations where legacy compatibility is required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the HM2H27P16 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Base Product Number: HM2H27 (common platform identifier)
• Manufacturer: Amphenol ICC (FCI)
• Number of Positions: 125
• Pitch: 0.079" (2.00mm)
• Number of Rows: 5 + 2
• Connector Style: Hard Metric, Type B
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Connector Usage: Header
• Connector Type: Shroud for Male Pins

The substitute part HM2H27P16LF shares the same base product number and manufacturer, indicating it is part of the same connector platform. Both parts are classified under the same HTSUS code and ECCN designation, confirming their functional equivalence within the Amphenol ICC product ecosystem.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The HM2H27P16LF is the active production equivalent of the obsolete HM2H27P16. Both parts share identical base product numbering and are manufactured by the same supplier, confirming functional compatibility. The primary distinction is product status and regulatory compliance: the HM2H27P16LF carries active product status and RoHS compliance certification, whereas the HM2H27P16 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant.

For new designs or systems requiring RoHS compliance, the HM2H27P16LF is the appropriate selection. For legacy system maintenance where RoHS compliance is not a requirement, either part may be used based on availability and inventory considerations. Both parts maintain identical MSL ratings and export classifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are HM2H27P16 and HM2H27P16LF mechanically and electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts share the same base product number (HM2H27) and are manufactured by Amphenol ICC (FCI). They are designed for the same connector platform and applications.

Q: What is the significance of the "LF" suffix in HM2H27P16LF?

A: The "LF" designation indicates lead-free construction and RoHS compliance. This is the primary technical distinction between the two part numbers.

Q: Can I use HM2H27P16LF as a direct replacement for HM2H27P16 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes, the HM2H27P16LF is a direct substitute. The mechanical and electrical specifications are equivalent. Verify that your application requirements do not mandate the specific RoHS non-compliant status of the original part.

Q: Why is HM2H27P16 listed as obsolete?

A: The HM2H27P16 has been superseded by the HM2H27P16LF in Amphenol ICC's product line. The newer variant incorporates lead-free and RoHS-compliant manufacturing standards.

Q: Are there any packaging or handling differences between these parts?

A: Both parts carry identical Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) ratings of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no special moisture control requirements during storage or handling.

Q: What is the current availability status?

A: HM2H27P16 has 1090 pieces in stock (new original). HM2H27P16LF has 929 pieces in stock (new original). Both are available for immediate procurement.
