TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 111623-7 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 111623-7 is a 30 position rectangular receptacle connector designed for IDC (Insulation Displacement Contact) termination with 28 AWG ribbon cable. This connector features a gold-plated contact finish, polarizing key, and feed-through capability in a dual-row configuration with 0.079" (2.00mm) pitch spacing.

The 111623-7 carries an obsolete product status. Identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary to maintain design continuity, ensure supply chain availability, and support ongoing production and field service requirements for systems utilizing this connector type.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 111623-7 is determined by strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part must maintain identical specifications in the following areas:

Electrical Parameters:

• Connector type (Receptacle)
• Contact type (Female Socket)
• Position count (30)
• Wire gauge compatibility (28 AWG)
• Contact finish material and thickness (Gold, 30.0µin)

Mechanical Parameters:

• Pitch spacing (0.079" / 2.00mm)
• Row configuration (2 rows)
• Row spacing (0.079" / 2.00mm)
• Mounting orientation (Free Hanging, In-Line)
• Termination method (IDC)
• Functional features (Feed Through, Polarizing Key)

Series Compatibility:

• AMP-Latch series designation

The substitute part 2-111623-3 meets all these criteria and is therefore a direct functional equivalent.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For New Designs and Active Production:

The substitute part 2-111623-3 is the appropriate selection for new applications and ongoing production. This part maintains complete electrical and mechanical equivalence to the 111623-7 while offering the advantage of active product status and ROHS3 compliance. The active status ensures continued availability and supply chain support.

For Legacy System Support:

The 111623-7 remains functionally equivalent to 2-111623-3 for retrofit and field service applications where existing inventory is available. The obsolete status of 111623-7 does not affect its electrical or mechanical performance in established systems.

Compliance Considerations:

The 2-111623-3 substitute provides ROHS3 compliance, which may be required for new product certifications or regulatory submissions. The 111623-7 is RoHS non-compliant and should be evaluated against applicable regulatory requirements for the target application.

Both parts share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4051) classifications, indicating equivalent export control and tariff treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 2-111623-3 be used as a direct replacement for 111623-7 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. The 2-111623-3 is a direct functional equivalent. All electrical and mechanical parameters are identical, including connector type, position count, pitch spacing, contact finish, termination method, and feature set. Physical interchangeability is confirmed.

Q: What is the difference between 111623-7 and 2-111623-3?

A: The primary differences are product status and regulatory compliance. The 111623-7 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant, while 2-111623-3 is an active product with ROHS3 compliance. All functional specifications are identical.

Q: Why is the 111623-7 listed as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates that the manufacturer has discontinued active production and support for this part number. The 2-111623-3 serves as the current production equivalent.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: Yes. The 111623-7 packaging is listed as unspecified, while 2-111623-3 is supplied in bulk packaging. This difference does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Does the gold contact finish thickness affect substitution eligibility?

A: No. Both parts specify identical contact finish thickness of 30.0µin (0.76µm), confirming equivalent electrical contact performance and reliability characteristics.

Q: Can these connectors be used with wire gauges other than 28 AWG?

A: These connectors are specified for 28 AWG ribbon cable termination via IDC method. Use only the specified wire gauge for proper contact engagement and electrical performance.

Q: What does the polarizing key feature provide?

A: The polarizing key ensures correct mating orientation between receptacle and plug connectors, preventing incorrect insertion and potential circuit damage.

Q: Is the feed-through feature important for my application?

A: The feed-through capability allows signal pass-through for daisy-chain or multi-point connection configurations. Verify your application requirements to determine if this feature is necessary.
