Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the M20-8902205 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Connector type classification (Header, rectangular)
• Mounting configuration (Surface Mount, Right Angle)
• Position count (22 positions)
• Mating pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Contact gender (Male Pin)
• Termination method (Solder)
• Fastening type (Push-Pull)
• Shrouding configuration (Unshrouded)
• Regulatory compliance (ROHS3, UL94 V-0)

The GBC22SBSN-M89 from Sullins Connector Solutions meets all critical substitution criteria. Both parts maintain identical position count, pitch, contact type, mounting style, and termination method. Both are ROHS3 compliant and UL94 V-0 rated, ensuring regulatory equivalence.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The GBC22SBSN-M89 is a direct functional equivalent for the obsolete M20-8902205. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability certification, ensuring regulatory equivalence for applications requiring these standards.

The GBC22SBSN-M89 offers extended operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 150°C versus -40°C ~ 105°C), providing broader thermal capability for demanding environments. The substitute uses phosphor bronze contacts with PA9T insulation material, compared to brass contacts with PA6T insulation in the original part. Both configurations maintain identical current rating (3A per contact) and pitch specifications.

Minor dimensional variations exist in contact length (0.236" versus 0.230") and insulation height (0.136" versus 0.140"), which fall within acceptable mechanical tolerances for standard board-to-board connector applications. The active product status of the GBC22SBSN-M89 ensures ongoing availability and manufacturing support.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the GBC22SBSN-M89 directly replace the M20-8902205 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical position count (22), mating pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm), contact type (male pin), mounting configuration (surface mount, right angle), and termination method (solder). Regulatory compliance (ROHS3, UL94 V-0) is equivalent.

Q: What are the key differences between these parts?

A: The primary differences are product status (obsolete versus active), contact material (brass versus phosphor bronze), insulation material (PA6T versus PA9T), and operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 105°C versus -65°C ~ 150°C). Contact length and insulation height show minor dimensional variation within standard tolerances.

Q: Are there mechanical compatibility concerns with the dimensional differences?

A: Contact length differs by 0.006" (0.16mm) and insulation height by 0.004" (0.10mm). These variations are within standard mechanical tolerances for rectangular connector applications and do not affect mating compatibility or board-level integration.

Q: Does the substitute part maintain the same electrical performance?

A: Yes. Both parts are rated for 3A per contact and maintain identical pitch and contact configuration. The phosphor bronze contacts in the substitute provide equivalent electrical performance to the brass contacts in the original part.

Q: Is the GBC22SBSN-M89 available in the same packaging as the M20-8902205?

A: The substitute is supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging configuration should be verified against procurement requirements for your specific application.
