Amphenol ICC 48236-002LF Socket Contact Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 48236-002LF is an active rectangular connector socket contact designed for crimp termination with 22-26 AWG wire gauges. This gold-plated contact is part of the Mini-PV™ and Basics+ series and is RoHS compliant with unlimited moisture sensitivity rating. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters align with the main part's specifications, enabling direct functional replacement in applications requiring socket contacts with matching wire gauge, termination method, and contact finish properties.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 48236-002LF is determined by alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Wire gauge range (22-26 AWG)
• Contact termination method (Crimp)
• Contact finish (Gold)
• Contact finish thickness (30.0µin / 0.76µm)
• Product status (Active)
• Moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1 or equivalent)
• RoHS compliance status

The substitute parts identified meet these criteria with the following considerations:

0008560123 (Molex KK Trifurcon 7258): Matches wire gauge, crimp termination, gold finish, and finish thickness. Classified as non-gendered contact versus socket, with ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating.

60940-1 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors): Meets wire gauge (20-24 AWG, overlapping with 22-26 AWG range), crimp termination, and MSL 1 rating. Contact finish is tin rather than gold, and contact material is phosphor bronze. Classified as female receptacle (socket) terminal.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts maintain active product status and comply with RoHS regulations, with MSL 1 ratings suitable for unlimited moisture exposure. The 48236-002LF and 0008560123 are functionally equivalent across wire gauge, crimp termination, gold finish, and finish thickness specifications. The 60940-1 provides functional substitution with the following considerations: wire gauge range overlaps at 22-24 AWG, crimp termination is maintained, but contact finish transitions from gold to tin, which may affect electrical performance in applications requiring specific contact resistance or corrosion resistance properties associated with gold plating.

Selection between these parts should be based on connector series compatibility, mating interface requirements, and application-specific contact finish requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 0008560123 directly replace 48236-002LF?

A: The 0008560123 matches all critical electrical and mechanical parameters: wire gauge (22-26 AWG), crimp termination, gold finish at 30.0µin thickness, and MSL 1 rating. The primary difference is contact classification (non-gendered versus socket). Compatibility depends on mating connector requirements and series interchangeability.

Q: What is the wire gauge overlap between 48236-002LF and 60940-1?

A: The 48236-002LF supports 22-26 AWG, while 60940-1 supports 20-24 AWG. The overlap range is 22-24 AWG. Applications requiring 25-26 AWG termination cannot use 60940-1.

Q: Why does 60940-1 have tin finish instead of gold?

A: Contact finish is a specified parameter for each part. The 60940-1 is designed with tin finish and phosphor bronze material. Applications requiring gold finish for specific electrical or corrosion resistance properties should use 48236-002LF or 0008560123.

Q: Are all three parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The 48236-002LF is RoHS Compliant, while 0008560123 and 60940-1 are ROHS3 Compliant. All meet RoHS regulatory requirements.

Q: What packaging formats are available?

A: 48236-002LF is supplied in Bulk packaging. 0008560123 and 60940-1 are supplied in Cut Tape (CT) packaging. Packaging selection may affect procurement and assembly processes.
