Amphenol ICC 48115-000 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 48115-000 is a pin contact for rectangular connectors in the Mini-PV™ and Basics+ series, designed for 28-32 AWG wire gauges with gold plating and crimp termination. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations where Mini-PV™ series components are specified.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The Amphenol ICC L17HRD2M145G is identified as a manufacturer-recommended substitute for the 48115-000. Substitution eligibility is determined by the following critical parameters:

Substitution Criteria:

• Contact termination method: Crimp (both parts)
• Wire gauge compatibility: 28-32 AWG (main part) vs. 24-28 AWG (substitute) — overlapping range of 28 AWG
• Contact finish: Gold plating present on main part; substitute has unspecified finish
• Moisture sensitivity: MSL 1 (Unlimited) on both parts
• HTSUS classification: Identical (8536.90.4000)
• ECCN classification: Identical (EAR99)

The L17HRD2M145G operates within the overlapping wire gauge specification and maintains crimp termination compatibility, establishing functional equivalence for applications within the 28 AWG specification range.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Product Status Consideration: The 48115-000 is obsolete, while the L17HRD2M145G is active. Active product status ensures continued availability, manufacturing support, and compliance with current regulatory standards.

Compliance Consideration: The L17HRD2M145G is RoHS compliant, whereas the 48115-000 is RoHS non-compliant. Applications subject to RoHS directives or requiring compliance with modern environmental regulations must use the substitute part.

Wire Gauge Compatibility: Substitution is valid for applications operating at 28 AWG, which falls within both the main part specification (28-32 AWG) and the substitute specification (24-28 AWG). Applications requiring 29-32 AWG operation cannot use the L17HRD2M145G.

Contact Finish Thickness: The substitute part has a thinner gold plating (30.0µin vs. 50.0µin). Applications with specific contact resistance or durability requirements tied to finish thickness must evaluate this difference against system performance criteria.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the L17HRD2M145G replace the 48115-000 in all applications?

A: No. The substitute is valid only for applications operating at 28 AWG wire gauge. Applications requiring 29-32 AWG operation cannot use this substitute due to the L17HRD2M145G maximum specification of 28 AWG.

Q: What is the impact of the thinner gold plating on the substitute part?

A: The L17HRD2M145G has 30.0µin (0.76µm) finish thickness compared to 50.0µin (1.27µm) on the 48115-000. This difference may affect contact resistance and wear characteristics in high-cycle mating applications. Evaluate against specific system requirements.

Q: Why is RoHS compliance important for this substitution?

A: The 48115-000 is RoHS non-compliant while the L17HRD2M145G is RoHS compliant. Products destined for markets with RoHS directives or subject to environmental regulations must use compliant components. The substitute ensures regulatory alignment.

Q: Are both parts from the same manufacturer?

A: Both parts are manufactured by Amphenol ICC, but under different divisions: the 48115-000 is from FCI, while the L17HRD2M145G is from Commercial Products. Both maintain identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications.

Q: What is the significance of MSL 1 (Unlimited) on both parts?

A: MSL 1 indicates unlimited shelf life without moisture sensitivity concerns. Both parts can be stored and handled without special moisture control measures, simplifying inventory and logistics management.
