Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MP2-H024-41S1-S-TR30 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Style & Electrical Interface: Futurebus+® standard compliance ensures mechanical and electrical compatibility with mating connectors
• Position Count & Row Configuration: 24 positions in 4-row arrangement maintains PCB layout compatibility
• Pitch Specification: 0.079" (2.00mm) pitch is non-negotiable for board-level interconnection
• Termination Method: Solder termination on through-hole mounting preserves assembly process compatibility
• Contact Specifications: Gold finish at 3.00µin thickness and 1.5A current rating ensure signal integrity and thermal performance
• Environmental Ratings: UL94 V-0 flammability and -55°C ~ 125°C operating range define acceptable operating conditions

The substitute MP2-H024-41S1-S-LR meets all these criteria identically, with the primary distinction being product status and packaging format.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MP2-H024-41S1-S-LR is the direct functional equivalent of the obsolete MP2-H024-41S1-S-TR30. Selection of the substitute is based on the following engineering criteria:

Electrical & Mechanical Equivalence: All critical parameters—connector style, position count, pitch, termination method, contact specifications, and environmental ratings—are identical between the two parts. This ensures drop-in compatibility at the PCB level without design modification.

Product Status & Availability: The MP2-H024-41S1-S-TR30 is obsolete with no active manufacturing. The MP2-H024-41S1-S-LR maintains active product status with confirmed inventory availability (986 units), ensuring supply chain continuity for new builds and legacy system repairs.

Regulatory Compliance: The substitute part carries RoHS Compliant and REACH Unaffected certifications, meeting modern regulatory requirements for electronic components. The original part's compliance status is not specified, making the substitute the preferred choice for applications subject to these regulations.

Packaging & Handling: Both parts are supplied in tube packaging with identical MSL rating (1 - Unlimited), eliminating moisture sensitivity concerns during storage and assembly.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MP2-H024-41S1-S-LR be used as a direct replacement for MP2-H024-41S1-S-TR30 without PCB redesign?

A: Yes. All electrical and mechanical parameters are identical. The substitute requires no design changes and is compatible with existing mating connectors and PCB layouts.

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

A: The primary differences are product status and regulatory certifications. The MP2-H024-41S1-S-TR30 is obsolete; the MP2-H024-41S1-S-LR is active production. The substitute carries explicit RoHS and REACH compliance documentation.

Q: Are there any packaging differences that affect assembly?

A: Both parts are supplied in tube packaging with identical moisture sensitivity levels. No assembly process changes are required.

Q: What is the pitch specification and why does it matter?

A: The pitch is 0.079" (2.00mm), defining the center-to-center spacing between connector positions. This specification must match exactly for mechanical fit with mating connectors and PCB footprints.

Q: Is the gold contact finish specification the same?

A: Yes. Both parts feature gold contact finish at 3.00µin (0.076µm) thickness, ensuring equivalent signal integrity and corrosion resistance.

Q: What is the current rating and thermal capability?

A: Both parts are rated for 1.5A per contact and operate across -55°C to 125°C. These specifications are identical and suitable for standard backplane applications.

Q: Why should I choose the substitute if the original part is still available?

A: The original part is obsolete and no longer manufactured. The substitute offers active product status, confirmed availability, and modern regulatory compliance certifications.
