HARTING 09060317921 DIN 41612 Backplane Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The HARTING 09060317921 is a 31-position DIN 41612 connector header with male pins, gold-plated contacts, and right-angle through-hole mounting. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of equivalent substitute parts essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations. The connector accommodates 24 signal positions plus 7 dedicated power positions across 3 rows with 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch spacing.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the HARTING 09060317921 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Position Configuration: Header format with male pins, 31-position arrangement (24 signal + 7 power)
• Mounting Orientation: Right-angle through-hole PCB mounting
• Contact Material & Finish: Gold-plated contacts for corrosion resistance and signal integrity
• Electrical Performance: Operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C and current-carrying capacity
• Mechanical Compatibility: Row configuration and pitch spacing that permit PCB layout compatibility
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS and REACH compliance status for supply chain continuity

The substitute part Amphenol ICC (FCI) 5159002312354111LF meets the core functional requirements of a 31-position DIN-format connector header with gold contacts and right-angle mounting. However, critical parameter differences exist that must be evaluated for specific applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Amphenol ICC (FCI) 5159002312354111LF is an active-status substitute for the obsolete HARTING 09060317921. Both components maintain identical operating temperature ranges (-55°C to 125°C) and gold contact finishes, supporting equivalent signal integrity and environmental performance.

Key considerations for selection:

Pitch Spacing Difference: The HARTING component uses 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch, while the Amphenol ICC substitute uses 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch. This represents a significant mechanical difference that directly impacts PCB layout compatibility and connector footprint dimensions. Existing PCB designs must be evaluated for accommodation of the tighter pitch spacing.

Current Rating: The HARTING part supports dual current ratings of 6A and 15A, whereas the Amphenol ICC part is rated at 5.5A. Applications requiring the 15A rating cannot use this substitute without circuit redesign.

Insulation Material: The HARTING component uses glass-filled PBT, while the Amphenol ICC part uses polyester thermoplastic. Both materials meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements, but thermal and mechanical properties differ.

Regulatory Status: Both components maintain RoHS compliance. The Amphenol ICC part's active product status ensures ongoing availability and supply chain support, whereas the HARTING part's obsolete status limits future procurement options.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Amphenol ICC 5159002312354111LF be used as a direct drop-in replacement for the HARTING 09060317921?

A: No. While both are 31-position DIN-format connector headers with gold contacts and right-angle mounting, the pitch spacing differs (0.200" versus 0.100"). Direct PCB substitution is not possible without layout modification. Additionally, the current rating difference (15A maximum versus 5.5A) must be evaluated against circuit requirements.

Q: What does the pitch difference mean for PCB design?

A: Pitch refers to the center-to-center spacing between adjacent contact positions. The 0.200" pitch of the HARTING part creates a larger connector footprint than the 0.100" pitch Amphenol ICC part. Existing PCB designs with mounting holes and trace routing for 0.200" pitch cannot accommodate the 0.100" pitch connector without complete redesign of the connector area.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The HARTING 09060317921 is ROHS3 compliant, and the Amphenol ICC 5159002312354111LF is RoHS compliant. Both meet current regulatory requirements for hazardous substance restrictions.

Q: Why is the HARTING part listed as obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence indicates that the manufacturer has discontinued production and support. The Amphenol ICC part's active status provides assurance of continued availability and technical support for new designs or system maintenance requiring this connector type.

Q: What is the significance of the insulation material difference?

A: The HARTING part uses glass-filled PBT, which provides enhanced mechanical strength and thermal stability. The Amphenol ICC part uses polyester thermoplastic, which offers different thermal and mechanical characteristics. Both meet UL94 V-0 flammability standards. Material selection should be based on specific environmental and mechanical stress conditions in the application.

Q: Can I use the Amphenol ICC part if my circuit requires 15A current capacity?

A: No. The Amphenol ICC part is rated at 5.5A maximum, which is below the 15A requirement. Using an undersized connector creates risk of overheating and contact degradation. Alternative components rated for 15A must be identified for applications with this current requirement.
