HM2P88PNE190GF Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The HM2P88PNE190GF is a 200-position header connector manufactured by Amphenol ICC (FCI) with male pins, designed for through-hole mounting applications. This connector features a 2.00mm pitch and press-fit termination, supporting up to 1.5A current at 750Vrms. The product is currently obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives necessary for ongoing system support and component procurement.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the HM2P88PNE190GF is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Position Count & Pitch: 200 positions at 0.079" (2.00mm) spacing
• Physical Configuration: 8 rows, through-hole mounting
• Electrical Performance: Current and voltage ratings must meet or exceed the original specification
• Termination Method: Press-fit termination compatibility
• Contact Finish: Gold plating for signal integrity and corrosion resistance
• Temperature Range: Operating limits must support the application environment

The substitute part 0740602504 (Molex VHDM 74060 series) meets these core substitution criteria through matching position count, pitch, row configuration, mounting type, and termination method. Both connectors maintain gold-plated contacts and support through-hole PCB integration.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 0740602504 (Molex VHDM 74060) serves as a functional substitute for the obsolete HM2P88PNE190GF based on matching mechanical and electrical core parameters. Key considerations for selection:

Advantages of substitution:

• Active production status ensures long-term availability
• ROHS3 compliance aligns with current regulatory requirements
• Higher current rating (3A vs. 1.5A) provides additional margin
• Identical pitch, position count, and row configuration ensure PCB compatibility
• Gold contact finish maintains signal integrity equivalent to the original

Electrical parameter variance:

• The substitute operates at 120V versus the original 750Vrms rating. Applications requiring the full 750Vrms specification cannot use this substitute without design review
• Operating temperature range is reduced to -55°C ~ 105°C; applications requiring operation above 105°C require verification against the original specification

Compliance consideration:

• The original part is RoHS non-compliant; the substitute is ROHS3 compliant, suitable for new designs and systems with regulatory compliance requirements

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 0740602504 be used as a direct replacement in existing assemblies designed for HM2P88PNE190GF?

A: Physical and electrical compatibility exists for the core connector function (200 positions, 2.00mm pitch, 8 rows, through-hole, press-fit). However, the voltage rating difference (120V vs. 750Vrms) and reduced upper operating temperature (105°C vs. 125°C) must be evaluated against the specific application requirements before substitution.

Q: What are the key differences between these two connectors?

A: The primary differences are manufacturer (Amphenol ICC vs. Molex), product status (obsolete vs. active), voltage rating (750Vrms vs. 120V), maximum operating temperature (125°C vs. 105°C), current rating (1.5A vs. 3A), and RoHS compliance status (non-compliant vs. ROHS3 compliant). All mechanical parameters and contact specifications are equivalent.

Q: Is the Molex VHDM 74060 series connector compatible with PCB layouts designed for the Amphenol Millipacs series?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical pitch (2.00mm), position count (200), row configuration (8), and through-hole mounting specifications. PCB footprints designed for the HM2P88PNE190GF will accommodate the 0740602504 without modification.

Q: What is the significance of the shielded feature on the Molex substitute?

A: The 0740602504 includes shielding, which the original part does not specify. This provides additional electromagnetic interference (EMI) protection. Applications sensitive to EMI may benefit from this feature; applications where shielding is not required will not be negatively affected.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the main part and substitute?

A: The original part packaging is not specified in the documentation. The substitute is supplied in tube packaging. Packaging format should be verified against procurement and assembly requirements.
