Amphenol ICC 47713-000LF Socket Contact Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 47713-000LF is an active rectangular connector socket contact designed for 18-20 AWG wire applications. This gold-plated crimp terminal is part of the Mini-PV™ and Basics+ series and is RoHS compliant with MSL 1 rating. Finding equivalent and substitute parts is necessary when managing inventory constraints, lead time requirements, or when sourcing from alternative manufacturers while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 47713-000LF is evaluated based on the following critical parameters:

Wire Gauge Compatibility: The main part supports 18-20 AWG. Substitute parts must accommodate this wire gauge range or overlap within acceptable limits.

Contact Termination Method: Both the main part and substitutes must use crimp termination to ensure compatibility with existing assembly processes and tooling.

Contact Type: Socket (receptacle) configuration must be maintained for proper mating with pin contacts in the connector system.

Contact Finish and Material: Gold plating on the main part provides corrosion resistance and low contact resistance. Substitute parts with alternative finishes (such as tin) may be considered if they meet the same electrical performance requirements and environmental specifications.

Compliance and Certifications: RoHS compliance and MSL 1 rating are baseline requirements for substitution in regulated applications.

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 60940-1 is identified as a manufacturer-recommended substitute. While this part operates in the 20-24 AWG range (overlapping with the upper end of the main part's 18-20 AWG specification), it maintains crimp termination, socket configuration, and equivalent compliance certifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection: The Amphenol ICC 47713-000LF remains the specified component for applications requiring 18-20 AWG wire gauge with gold contact finish.

Substitute Selection: The TE Connectivity 60940-1 is suitable as a substitute when the following conditions are met:

Wire gauge compatibility with 20-24 AWG specification is acceptable for the application. The overlap at 20 AWG provides functional compatibility for this wire size.

The application environment and electrical requirements are compatible with tin contact finish instead of gold plating.

Both parts maintain identical RoHS and MSL compliance levels, ensuring equivalent environmental and regulatory performance.

Both parts are active products with established supply chains and manufacturing support.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 60940-1 be used for 18 AWG wire applications?

A: The 60940-1 is specified for 20-24 AWG wire gauge. While 18 AWG falls outside this range, the overlap at 20 AWG allows substitution for applications using 20 AWG wire. For dedicated 18 AWG applications, the original 47713-000LF specification should be maintained.

Q: What is the difference between gold and tin contact finishes in these parts?

A: Gold plating (47713-000LF) provides superior corrosion resistance and lower contact resistance over extended service life. Tin plating (60940-1) is suitable for general-purpose applications with shorter contact life expectations or lower corrosion environments. Selection depends on application requirements and environmental exposure.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The 47713-000LF is RoHS Compliant, and the 60940-1 is ROHS3 Compliant. Both meet current RoHS requirements and are suitable for regulated applications.

Q: What does MSL 1 rating mean for these parts?

A: MSL 1 (Moisture Sensitivity Level 1) indicates unlimited shelf life without moisture control requirements. Both parts can be stored and handled under standard conditions without special desiccant packaging or environmental controls.

Q: Are the packaging formats interchangeable?

A: The 47713-000LF is supplied in Bulk packaging, while the 60940-1 is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) format. Packaging differences do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility but may impact assembly line integration and handling procedures.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in existing connector assemblies?

A: Substitution is possible only when wire gauge compatibility (20 AWG overlap) and contact finish requirements are acceptable for the specific application. Mechanical fit and mating characteristics must be verified for the connector system in use.
