Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the HM2P88PKA1M8GF is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type and style (Header, Male Pins; E 25 style)
• Position count and configuration (250 positions: 200 + 50 Ground)
• 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 ~ 125°C)
• Contact finish specification (Gold plating)

The HM2P88PKA1M8GFLF meets all these criteria and is the direct equivalent part. The primary difference is product status and packaging configuration.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The HM2P88PKA1M8GFLF is the direct functional equivalent to the obsolete HM2P88PKA1M8GF. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including connector configuration, pitch, current and voltage ratings, and operating temperature range.

The HM2P88PKA1M8GFLF offers two significant advantages for new procurement:

1. Active product status ensures ongoing availability and manufacturer support
2. RoHS compliance status aligns with current regulatory requirements, whereas the original part is RoHS non-compliant

For applications requiring RoHS compliance or long-term supply chain stability, the HM2P88PKA1M8GFLF is the appropriate selection. For legacy systems where RoHS compliance is not a requirement, both parts are electrically and mechanically interchangeable.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are HM2P88PKA1M8GF and HM2P88PKA1M8GFLF mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts are identical in connector type, position count, pitch, row configuration, mounting method, and termination style. They occupy the same footprint and accept the same mating connectors.

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

A: The primary differences are product status (obsolete vs. active), RoHS compliance (non-compliant vs. compliant), and packaging format. The electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Can I use HM2P88PKA1M8GFLF as a direct replacement in existing designs?

A: Yes. The HM2P88PKA1M8GFLF is a direct substitute with no design modifications required. Footprint, pin assignment, and electrical performance are equivalent.

Q: Why is the original part listed as obsolete?

A: The HM2P88PKA1M8GF is obsolete due to its RoHS non-compliant status. The HM2P88PKA1M8GFLF represents the current active equivalent with RoHS compliance.

Q: What does the packaging difference mean?

A: The HM2P88PKA1M8GFLF is supplied in tray packaging, which is standard for active production parts. This does not affect the connector's electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: Are the electrical ratings identical?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical current rating (1.5 A), voltage rating (750Vrms), operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C), and contact finish specifications.
