Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the HM2P87PC8111N9 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector series and manufacturer (Amphenol ICC / Millipacs®)
• Position count and configuration (220 positions with 176 + 44 ground arrangement)
• Pitch specification (2.00mm)
• Row configuration (8 + 2)
• Connector type and gender (Header, Male Pins)
• Mounting and termination method (Through Hole, Press-Fit)
• Contact finish specification (Gold plating)
• Electrical ratings (Current and voltage capacity)
• Operating temperature range

The HM2P87PC8111N9LF meets all these criteria as a direct substitute, with the primary distinction being product status and packaging configuration.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The HM2P87PC8111N9LF is the direct functional equivalent of the HM2P87PC8111N9. Key selection factors include:

• The HM2P87PC8111N9LF maintains active product status, ensuring continued availability and manufacturer support, whereas the original part is obsolete.
• The substitute part carries RoHS compliance certification, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic components in many jurisdictions.
• The voltage rating of the HM2P87PC8111N9LF (750Vrms) exceeds the original specification (500V), providing enhanced electrical margin for applications requiring higher voltage tolerance.
• All mechanical, electrical, and thermal specifications remain equivalent between the two parts.
• Packaging is provided in tray format for the substitute, facilitating standard handling and storage procedures.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can HM2P87PC8111N9LF be used as a direct replacement for HM2P87PC8111N9?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical connector geometry, pin configuration, pitch, mounting method, and electrical ratings. The substitute part is electrically and mechanically interchangeable.

Q: What is the significance of the "LF" suffix in HM2P87PC8111N9LF?

A: The "LF" designation indicates lead-free construction and RoHS compliance, reflecting current environmental and regulatory standards for electronic components.

Q: Does the higher voltage rating of HM2P87PC8111N9LF affect compatibility?

A: No. A higher voltage rating is a superset specification and does not affect compatibility. The substitute part can be used in applications designed for the original 500V rating without modification.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The original part packaging is not specified in available documentation. The substitute is supplied in tray packaging, which is standard for high-position-count connectors and facilitates automated assembly processes.

Q: What is the base product number for these connectors?

A: Both parts share the base product number HM2P87, indicating they belong to the same connector family within the Millipacs® series.
