Amphenol ICC 48248-000LF Socket Contact Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 48248-000LF is an active rectangular connector socket contact designed for the Mini-PV™ and Basics+ series. This gold-plated crimp socket contact accommodates 22-26 AWG wire gauges and is manufactured to RoHS Compliant and REACH Affected standards. The part maintains unlimited moisture sensitivity (MSL 1) and is classified under ECCN EAR99 for export purposes. Finding equivalent or substitute parts may be necessary due to inventory constraints, supply chain considerations, or specific application requirements where alternative contact geometries or termination specifications are acceptable within system design parameters.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 60940-1 is identified as a manufacturer-recommended substitute for the Amphenol ICC 48248-000LF. Substitution eligibility is determined by the following critical parameters:

Wire Gauge Compatibility: The main part accommodates 22-26 AWG wire. The substitute part 60940-1 accommodates 20-24 AWG wire. This represents a partial overlap in the 22-24 AWG range, establishing a functional substitution window for applications utilizing wire gauges within this common band.

Contact Termination Method: Both parts utilize crimp termination, ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility at the termination interface.

Contact Type: Both parts are socket/receptacle contacts, maintaining functional equivalence in connector assembly architecture.

Regulatory Compliance: Both parts maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating and are classified under ECCN EAR99, ensuring equivalent environmental and export compliance profiles.

Packaging: Both parts are supplied in Cut Tape (CT) format, supporting identical handling and assembly processes.

The substitute relationship is valid within the overlapping wire gauge specification (22-24 AWG) and where the contact finish material transition from gold to tin does not create incompatibility with mating connector specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Active Product Status: Both the main part and substitute are classified as active products, ensuring continued manufacturer support, availability, and compliance maintenance.

Regulatory Alignment: Both parts maintain equivalent MSL 1 ratings and ECCN EAR99 classifications. The substitute part carries ROHS3 Compliant status compared to the main part's RoHS Compliant status, representing an equivalent or enhanced compliance posture.

Wire Gauge Selection: Selection between these parts must be based on actual application wire gauge requirements. For applications utilizing 22-24 AWG wire, both parts are functionally equivalent. For applications requiring 25-26 AWG accommodation, the main part 48248-000LF is the only specified option.

Contact Finish Consideration: The transition from gold finish (main part) to tin finish (substitute) must be evaluated against mating connector specifications and application environmental requirements. Both finishes are standard in rectangular connector applications and maintain equivalent electrical performance in standard industrial environments.

Inventory and Supply Chain: Current inventory shows 8000 pieces of the main part and 2615 pieces of the substitute part available. Selection may be influenced by supply chain requirements and project timelines.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 60940-1 directly replace the Amphenol ICC 48248-000LF in all applications?

A: Direct replacement is valid only for applications utilizing 22-24 AWG wire gauges. Applications requiring 25-26 AWG wire accommodation must use the main part 48248-000LF. Additionally, the contact finish change from gold to tin must be compatible with mating connector specifications.

Q: What is the significance of the wire gauge overlap between these parts?

A: The main part accommodates 22-26 AWG; the substitute accommodates 20-24 AWG. The 22-24 AWG overlap defines the substitution window. Wire gauges 25-26 AWG are exclusive to the main part and cannot be accommodated by the substitute.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these parts?

A: Both parts maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) and ECCN EAR99 classifications. The substitute carries ROHS3 Compliant status versus RoHS Compliant for the main part. Both are REACH Affected. These differences do not create incompatibility in standard applications.

Q: Does the contact finish difference affect electrical performance?

A: Both gold and tin finishes are standard in rectangular connector applications and provide equivalent electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance in typical industrial environments. Finish selection should be verified against specific mating connector requirements and environmental exposure conditions.

Q: Are both parts available in the same packaging format?

A: Yes, both parts are supplied in Cut Tape (CT) packaging, supporting identical receiving, storage, and assembly processes.

Q: What should determine the choice between these two parts?

A: Selection should be based on: (1) actual application wire gauge requirement within the 22-24 AWG overlap range, (2) compatibility of tin finish with mating connector specifications, (3) current inventory availability, and (4) supply chain and project timeline requirements.
