Amphenol ICC 10073599-036LF Rectangular Connector Housing - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 10073599-036LF is a 36-position rectangular connector receptacle housing from the Minitek® 2.00mm series. This component is a passive housing element designed for use in applications requiring a 2-row, 36-contact configuration with 0.079" (2.00mm) pitch spacing. The part is currently in active production status with 860 units available in inventory. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are required due to supply constraints, design flexibility, or manufacturing preferences while maintaining full functional compatibility.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 10073599-036LF are identified based on strict equivalence of the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Receptacle)
• Contact type (Female Socket)
• Number of positions (36)
• Pitch spacing (0.079" / 2.00mm)
• Row configuration (2 rows with 0.079" spacing)
• Mounting method (Free Hanging In-Line)
• Contact termination method (Crimp)
• Fastening mechanism (Latch Lock)
• Insulation material (Polyamide PA66/Nylon 6/6)

The Molex 5016463600 from the iGrid 501646 series meets all these criteria and is classified as a parametric equivalent. Substitution is valid when these core parameters remain unchanged across the application design.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Amphenol ICC 10073599-036LF and Molex 5016463600 are active production components with full RoHS compliance. The Amphenol part supports an extended operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C, while the Molex substitute operates within -40°C to 105°C. Selection between these parts should be based on the specific thermal requirements of the application. Both parts carry MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity classification and are suitable for standard handling and storage conditions. The Molex part offers higher current inventory availability (1184 units versus 860 units), which may be relevant for supply chain planning. Both parts are supplied as housings without contacts included.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 5016463600 be used as a direct replacement for the Amphenol ICC 10073599-036LF?

A: Yes, the Molex 5016463600 is a parametric equivalent. Both parts share identical connector type, contact configuration, pitch spacing, row arrangement, mounting method, termination type, and fastening mechanism. Substitution is valid when application thermal requirements fall within the Molex operating range of -40°C to 105°C.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The main differences are the operating temperature range (Amphenol supports -55°C to 125°C versus Molex -40°C to 105°C), manufacturer series designation (Minitek® 2.00mm versus iGrid 501646), and packaging format (Bag versus Bulk). Electrical and mechanical functionality are equivalent.

Q: Are the contacts interchangeable between these housings?

A: Both housings use crimp termination contacts with identical pitch and row spacing. Contact compatibility depends on the specific contact part numbers used, which are not included with these housings. Verify contact part numbers separately to ensure full assembly compatibility.

Q: What does MSL Level 1 mean for these components?

A: MSL Level 1 indicates unlimited shelf life with no moisture sensitivity restrictions. These parts do not require special dry storage conditions or baking procedures prior to assembly.

Q: Why would I choose one part over the other if they are equivalent?

A: Selection factors include application operating temperature requirements, supply chain availability, packaging preferences (Bag versus Bulk), and existing design documentation. The Amphenol part is preferred for applications requiring extended low-temperature operation below -40°C or high-temperature operation above 105°C.
