Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The HM2R04P1LF is the direct equivalent substitute for the obsolete HM2R04P1. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications within the Millipacs® series. The HM2R04P1LF offers the following advantages:

• Active product status ensures long-term availability and supply chain continuity
• RoHS compliance aligns with current environmental and regulatory requirements
• Higher inventory availability (1032 Pcs vs. 794 Pcs) supports procurement timelines
• Bulk packaging option provides flexibility for manufacturing operations

Selection of HM2R04P1LF is appropriate for new designs and replacement applications requiring the 6-position hard metric Type L backplane connector housing with through-hole mounting.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are HM2R04P1 and HM2R04P1LF mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts are identical in connector type, style, position count, pitch, row configuration, mounting type, and board guide features. They are direct mechanical equivalents.

Q: What is the difference between HM2R04P1 and HM2R04P1LF?

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

Q: Can I use HM2R04P1LF as a drop-in replacement for HM2R04P1?

A: Yes. The HM2R04P1LF is a direct substitute with identical form, fit, and function. No design modifications are required.

Q: Why is the HM2R04P1 listed as obsolete?

A: Obsolescence typically reflects manufacturer discontinuation decisions. The HM2R04P1LF provides continuity for applications requiring this connector specification.

Q: Does packaging affect connector performance?

A: No. Packaging designation (bulk vs. unspecified) affects handling and logistics only, not electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: Are there any compliance differences I should consider?

A: The HM2R04P1LF is RoHS compliant, while the HM2R04P1 is not. For applications subject to RoHS requirements, HM2R04P1LF is the appropriate selection.
