HM2P28PNS280GF Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The HM2P28PNS280GF is an 85-position header connector from the Millipacs® series manufactured by Amphenol ICC (FCI). This backplane connector features male pins with 2.00mm pitch, press-fit termination, and through-hole mounting. The part is currently obsolete, which necessitates identification of functionally equivalent alternatives for ongoing system support and new designs requiring compatible interconnect solutions.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the HM2P28PNS280GF is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type and style (Header, Male Pins, A 11+6 configuration)
• Position count and arrangement (85 positions, 5 rows)
• Pitch specification (0.079" / 2.00mm)
• Electrical ratings (1.5 A current, 750Vrms voltage)
• Mounting and termination method (Through Hole, Press-Fit)
• Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C)
• Contact finish specification (Gold plating)

The HM2P28PNS280GFLF qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical electrical, mechanical, and dimensional parameters. The primary distinction is product status and compliance certification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are HM2P28PNS280GF and HM2P28PNS280GFLF mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts feature identical connector geometry, pitch, position count, and mounting configuration. PCB footprints and mating connector interfaces are fully compatible.

Q: What is the significance of the "LF" suffix in HM2P28PNS280GFLF?

A: The "LF" designation indicates lead-free construction and RoHS compliance. This reflects the manufacturing standard applied to the substitute part.

Q: Can the HM2P28PNS280GFLF be used in applications originally designed for HM2P28PNS280GF?

A: Yes. Electrical ratings, operating temperature range, and contact specifications are identical. The substitute part is suitable for direct replacement in existing applications.

Q: What is the difference in packaging between these parts?

A: The original part is supplied in bulk packaging, while the substitute is supplied in tray packaging. This affects handling and storage but does not impact electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the two parts?

A: The HM2P28PNS280GF is RoHS non-compliant and REACH unaffected. The HM2P28PNS280GFLF is RoHS compliant and REACH affected. For applications subject to RoHS or REACH regulations, the substitute part is required.
