Amphenol ICC 48252-000 Socket Contact Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 48252-000 is a socket contact designed for rectangular connectors in the Mini-PV™ and Basics+ series. This component is classified as obsolete, which necessitates identification of equivalent and substitute parts for ongoing applications. The part features gold plating on a crimp termination suitable for 28-32 AWG wire gauges. Due to its obsolete status, sourcing alternatives from active product lines is essential for system continuity and procurement reliability.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 48252-000 are identified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional compatibility:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• Socket contact type (Pin or Socket designation)
• Contact finish material (Gold plating)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL 1)
• ECCN and HTSUS classifications

Substitution Categories:

Category 1: Direct Amphenol ICC Equivalent (Same Manufacturer, Same Series) The 48252-000LF maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the main part while offering active product status and improved compliance posture. This substitute shares the same base product number (48252), series designation, and contact specifications.

Category 2: Cross-Manufacturer Substitute (TE Connectivity) The 86477-2 represents a cross-manufacturer alternative from TE Connectivity AMP Connectors. While this part differs in contact termination method (Solder, PCB versus Crimp) and series (AMPMODU Mod I), it maintains socket contact configuration, gold finish, and MSL 1 rating. This substitute is applicable only where termination method compatibility permits.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For RoHS Compliant Applications: Select 48252-000LF. This part maintains identical specifications to the main part while offering active product status and RoHS compliance. It is the preferred direct replacement for new designs and existing applications requiring regulatory compliance.

For Legacy System Maintenance: The 48252-000LF remains the primary choice due to series continuity and termination method compatibility. Inventory availability (1650 Pcs) supports sustained procurement.

For Cross-Manufacturer Substitution: The 86477-2 is applicable only where connector architecture permits solder termination in place of crimp termination. This part features increased contact finish thickness (30.0µin versus 15.0µin) and operates under the AMPMODU Mod I series. Selection of this substitute requires verification of mechanical and electrical interface compatibility with the host connector assembly.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 48252-000LF be used as a direct replacement for 48252-000? A: Yes. The 48252-000LF is a direct equivalent with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. It shares the same series, contact configuration, termination method, and wire gauge rating. The primary differences are product status (Active versus Obsolete) and RoHS compliance.

Q: What is the key difference between 48252-000LF and 86477-2? A: The primary difference is contact termination method. The 48252-000LF uses crimp termination compatible with wire harness assembly, while the 86477-2 uses solder termination for PCB mounting. These parts are not interchangeable without connector redesign.

Q: Why does 86477-2 have thicker gold plating? A: The 86477-2 features 30.0µin (0.76µm) gold plating compared to 15.0µin (0.38µm) on the main part. This increased thickness is specified for the AMPMODU Mod I series and reflects different design requirements for solder-based termination.

Q: Is the 48252-000LF available in the same packaging as the original part? A: The 48252-000LF is supplied in Box packaging. Original packaging information for 48252-000 was not specified in the product data.

Q: What is the Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) for these parts? A: All three parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage or handling.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the substitutes? A: Yes. The 48252-000LF is RoHS Compliant and REACH Affected. The 86477-2 carries RoHS Not applicable and REACH Vendor Undefined status. The original 48252-000 is RoHS non-compliant. Selection should align with application compliance requirements.
