Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the HM2K00P16 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Base Product Number: HM2K00 (common platform identifier)
• Manufacturer: Amphenol ICC (FCI) (same manufacturer ecosystem)
• Category: Backplane Connectors (functional category)
• ECCN and HTSUS Classification: Identical codes (regulatory alignment)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: MSL 1 (Unlimited) (environmental rating)

The substitute part HM2K00P16LF 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, confirming regulatory compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The HM2K00P16LF is the active production equivalent of the obsolete HM2K00P16. Both parts share the same base product platform (HM2K00) and are manufactured by Amphenol ICC (FCI), ensuring design compatibility within the Millipacs® connector family.

The primary distinction is product status and RoHS compliance. The HM2K00P16LF is currently in active production and meets RoHS requirements, whereas the HM2K00P16 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. For new designs or systems requiring regulatory compliance with modern environmental standards, the HM2K00P16LF is the appropriate selection. Both parts maintain identical moisture sensitivity ratings and export control classifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can HM2K00P16LF directly replace HM2K00P16 in existing assemblies?

A: Both parts share the same base product number (HM2K00) and are manufactured by the same supplier. Mechanical and electrical compatibility is established through the common platform designation. Verify specific application requirements with your system documentation.

Q: What is the significance of the "LF" suffix in HM2K00P16LF?

A: The "LF" designation indicates a lead-free variant, which aligns with RoHS compliance requirements. This is the primary technical distinction between the two part numbers.

Q: Why is the main part listed as obsolete?

A: The HM2K00P16 has been discontinued by the manufacturer. The HM2K00P16LF represents the current production alternative within the same connector family.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: The HM2K00P16LF is RoHS compliant, while the HM2K00P16 is RoHS non-compliant. Both parts share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8538.90.8180) classifications and MSL ratings.

Q: What inventory status should I expect?

A: The HM2K00P16 has 965 pieces in stock as new original inventory. The HM2K00P16LF has 694 pieces in stock as new original inventory. Availability may vary depending on procurement timing and supplier allocation.
