Amphenol ICC 101-00660-68-6 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 101-00660-68-6 is a 10-position (8 + 2) microSD card connector with push-push ejection mechanism, designed for surface mount, right-angle applications. This connector features gold-plated contacts and is classified as obsolete. Due to its obsolete status, equivalent substitute parts with compatible electrical and mechanical specifications are necessary for ongoing design support and production continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the 101-00660-68-6 is based on the following critical parameters that must align for functional compatibility:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• Card Type: Secure Digital - microSD™
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount, Right Angle
• Insertion/Removal Method: Push In, Push Out
• Contact Finish: Gold
• RoHS Compliance Status
• Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL): 1

Secondary Considerations:

• Number of Positions (primary part: 10 positions; substitutes: 9 positions)
• Height Above Board (primary part: 2.35mm; substitutes: 1.85mm to 1.95mm)
• Contact Finish Thickness (primary part: 15.0µin; substitutes: 30.0µin or Flash)

The identified substitute parts maintain the core electrical and mechanical interface requirements for microSD card connectivity. However, the position count differs (9 vs. 10 positions), which reflects design evolution in the microSD connector category. Height above board variations are within acceptable ranges for surface mount applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

GTFP08431BEU (Amphenol ICC): This substitute is the preferred selection for new designs and production continuity. It maintains Amphenol ICC manufacturing consistency with the original part, carries active product status, and meets ROHS3 compliance. The reduction in height above board (1.85mm vs. 2.35mm) requires PCB layout verification but is within standard surface mount tolerances. The increased contact finish thickness (30.0µin) provides enhanced durability. The 9-position configuration reflects current microSD connector standards.

MEM2051-00-195-00-A (GCT): This substitute provides an alternative from a different manufacturer (GCT) with compatible electrical and mechanical specifications. It maintains push-push ejection functionality and ROHS3 compliance. However, it carries obsolete product status, similar to the original part. The height above board (1.95mm) is closer to the original specification than GTFP08431BEU. This option is suitable for legacy system support or when manufacturer diversity is required.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Why does the substitute part have 9 positions instead of 10? A: The microSD connector category has evolved to standardize on 9-position configurations (8 data/control pins + 1 ground/shield). The original 10-position design (8 + 2) is obsolete. The 9-position standard maintains full electrical compatibility with microSD card specifications while reducing connector complexity.

Q: Is the reduced height above board (1.85mm vs. 2.35mm) a compatibility issue? A: No. The height reduction is within acceptable surface mount design parameters. PCB layout and component placement must be verified during design transition, but the reduced profile is generally advantageous for compact applications.

Q: Can I use MEM2051-00-195-00-A if GTFP08431BEU is unavailable? A: Yes. MEM2051-00-195-00-A meets the same core electrical and mechanical requirements. However, GTFP08431BEU is preferred due to its active product status and continued manufacturer support.

Q: Are there differences in contact finish that affect performance? A: Contact finish thickness varies (15.0µin original, 30.0µin for GTFP08431BEU, Flash for MEM2051-00-195-00-A). All three finishes are gold-based and suitable for microSD applications. Thicker finishes provide extended contact life in high-cycle insertion/removal environments.

Q: What is the packaging difference between substitutes? A: GTFP08431BEU is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) packaging. MEM2051-00-195-00-A is available in Cut Tape (CT) and Digi-Reel® packaging options. Packaging selection depends on production volume and assembly line requirements.

Q: Are both substitutes RoHS compliant? A: Yes. Both GTFP08431BEU and MEM2051-00-195-00-A meet ROHS3 compliance, which exceeds the original part's RoHS Compliant status. Both are REACH Unaffected.
