Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the HM2H28P16 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Base Product Number: HM2H28 (common platform identifier)
• Manufacturer: Amphenol ICC (FCI) (same manufacturer ecosystem)
• ECCN Classification: EAR99 (regulatory consistency)
• HTSUS Code: 8538.90.8180 (tariff classification alignment)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (environmental handling equivalence)

The substitute part HM2H28P16LF shares the same base product number and manufacturer, indicating it is a variant within the same connector platform. Both parts are classified under identical export control and tariff codes, supporting direct substitution from a regulatory and procurement standpoint.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The HM2H28P16LF is the direct substitute for the obsolete HM2H28P16. Both components share the same base product platform (HM2H28) and are manufactured by Amphenol ICC (FCI), ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility within the Millipacs® connector family.

The primary distinction is product status and compliance posture: the HM2H28P16LF is currently active in production and carries RoHS compliance certification, whereas the HM2H28P16 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. For new designs or systems requiring regulatory compliance with modern environmental standards, the HM2H28P16LF is the appropriate selection. For legacy system maintenance where RoHS compliance is not a requirement, the HM2H28P16 remains functionally equivalent if inventory is available.

Both parts maintain identical moisture sensitivity classification (MSL 1), export control designation (EAR99), and tariff coding (8538.90.8180), supporting seamless substitution from procurement and logistics perspectives.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can HM2H28P16LF be used as a direct replacement for HM2H28P16?

A: Yes. Both parts share the same base product number (HM2H28) and are manufactured by Amphenol ICC (FCI). They are mechanically and electrically compatible within the Millipacs® connector platform.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The HM2H28P16LF is an active production part with RoHS compliance, while the HM2H28P16 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. The "LF" designation in the HM2H28P16LF typically indicates lead-free processing.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns when substituting HM2H28P16 with HM2H28P16LF?

A: No compatibility concerns exist from an electrical, mechanical, or environmental handling perspective. Both parts carry identical moisture sensitivity levels and regulatory classifications.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: The HM2H28P16LF should be selected for new designs due to its active production status and RoHS compliance alignment with current environmental regulations.

Q: Is the HM2H28P16 still available for procurement?

A: The HM2H28P16 is classified as obsolete. Procurement should prioritize the HM2H28P16LF for ongoing supply chain continuity.
