Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the HM2P87PKA1M8GF is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type and style (Header, Male Pins, D 22 configuration)
• Position count and ground pin arrangement (220 positions with 176 + 44 ground distribution)
• Pitch specification (0.079" / 2.00mm)
• Row configuration (8 + 2)
• Mounting and termination method (Through Hole, Press-Fit)
• Electrical ratings (1.5 A current, 750Vrms voltage)
• Operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C)
• Contact finish specification (Gold plating)

The HM2P87PKA1M8GFLF meets all these criteria and represents a direct functional equivalent. The primary distinction is product status and compliance certification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are HM2P87PKA1M8GF and HM2P87PKA1M8GFLF mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical physical dimensions, pin pitch (2.00mm), position count (220), row configuration (8 + 2), and mounting method (through-hole press-fit). They are mechanically interchangeable without PCB redesign.

Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers?

A: The primary differences are product status and compliance. The HM2P87PKA1M8GF is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. The HM2P87PKA1M8GFLF is an active product with RoHS compliance certification and tray packaging.

Q: Can I use HM2P87PKA1M8GFLF in designs originally specified for HM2P87PKA1M8GF?

A: Yes. The electrical ratings (1.5 A, 750Vrms), operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C), and contact finish specifications are identical. The substitute part meets or exceeds the original specification.

Q: What does the "LF" suffix in HM2P87PKA1M8GFLF indicate?

A: The "LF" suffix typically indicates lead-free and RoHS compliance in Amphenol ICC part numbering conventions.

Q: Is packaging different between these parts?

A: Yes. The HM2P87PKA1M8GF packaging is not specified in available documentation. The HM2P87PKA1M8GFLF is supplied in tray packaging, which is standard for automated assembly operations.
