HM2H36P16 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The HM2H36P16 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 HM2H36P16 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Base Product Number: Both the main part and substitute must share the HM2H36 base product number, indicating they belong to the same connector family and are mechanically and electrically compatible.
• Manufacturer: Parts must originate from Amphenol ICC (FCI) to ensure design consistency and performance specifications.
• Category: Both components must function as backplane connectors.
• Connector Type and Style: The shroud for male pins configuration and hard metric Type B style must be maintained.
• Position and Pitch Configuration: The 125-position count and 0.079" (2.00mm) pitch are fundamental to mechanical fit and electrical performance.
• Mounting Type: Through-hole mounting must be preserved for PCB integration compatibility.

The substitute part HM2H36P16LF shares the base product number HM2H36 with the original component, confirming its suitability as a direct equivalent within the Millipacs® connector family.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The HM2H36P16LF serves as the active production equivalent to the obsolete HM2H36P16. Both components share the HM2H36 base product number and are manufactured by Amphenol ICC (FCI), confirming mechanical and electrical compatibility.

The primary distinction between these parts is regulatory compliance: the HM2H36P16LF is RoHS compliant, whereas the original HM2H36P16 is RoHS non-compliant. For applications subject to RoHS directives or environmental regulations, the HM2H36P16LF is the appropriate selection. Both parts maintain identical moisture sensitivity levels and export classifications.

Selection between these components should be based on regulatory requirements applicable to the end application and system design phase. The active product status of HM2H36P16LF ensures ongoing availability and supply chain continuity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are HM2H36P16 and HM2H36P16LF mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both components share the HM2H36 base product number and are manufactured by Amphenol ICC (FCI), confirming mechanical compatibility in through-hole mounting applications.

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

A: The HM2H36P16LF is RoHS compliant, while the HM2H36P16 is RoHS non-compliant. The substitute part represents the active production version of the obsolete original.

Q: Can I use HM2H36P16LF as a direct replacement in existing designs?

A: Yes, provided your application does not have specific constraints requiring the non-compliant version. The RoHS compliance of the substitute part makes it suitable for most modern applications.

Q: What is the significance of the "LF" suffix in HM2H36P16LF?

A: The "LF" designation indicates lead-free construction, which is associated with RoHS compliance. This reflects the material composition change from the original part.

Q: Are there any electrical performance differences between these parts?

A: No electrical performance differences are specified in the provided technical parameters. Both parts function identically in their intended backplane connector applications.

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

A: Both parts have an MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity constraints during storage or handling.
