Amphenol ICC 48255-000 Socket Contact Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 48255-000 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 that maintain functional and electrical compatibility is essential for system continuity.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the 48255-000 is determined by the following critical parameters: socket contact type, gold finish, wire gauge compatibility (28-32 AWG), and contact termination method. Two substitute parts are identified based on these criteria:

Direct Substitute (Same Series): The 48255-000LF maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications within the same Mini-PV™ and Basics+ series, differing only in RoHS compliance status and packaging format.

Cross-Manufacturer Substitute (Different Series): The TE Connectivity 86477-2 provides functional equivalence as a socket contact with gold finish and solder/PCB termination. This substitute operates within the AMPMODU Mod I series and represents a different termination approach (solder/PCB versus crimp), suitable for applications where PCB mounting is preferred over wire crimp attachment.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Replacement (Same Application): The 48255-000LF is the primary substitute. It maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications as the obsolete 48255-000 within the same Mini-PV™ and Basics+ series. The 48255-000LF carries Active product status and achieves RoHS Compliance, making it suitable for new designs and applications requiring regulatory compliance.

For Cross-Manufacturer Substitution: The TE Connectivity 86477-2 serves as a functional equivalent when connector series flexibility exists. This part differs in termination method (solder/PCB versus crimp) and is appropriate for applications where PCB-mounted socket contacts are acceptable. The 86477-2 features increased contact finish thickness (30.0µin versus 15.0µin), providing enhanced durability in high-cycle applications.

Selection between these substitutes depends on application requirements: use 48255-000LF for direct series compatibility and regulatory compliance; use 86477-2 when PCB mounting is preferred and cross-series compatibility is acceptable.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 48255-000LF directly replace the 48255-000 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. The 48255-000LF maintains identical specifications for socket contact type, gold finish, wire gauge (28-32 AWG), and crimp termination. Both parts operate within the same Mini-PV™ and Basics+ series. The primary difference is product status (Active versus Obsolete) and RoHS compliance.

Q: What is the key difference between the 48255-000LF and the TE Connectivity 86477-2?

A: The 48255-000LF uses crimp termination for wire attachment, while the 86477-2 uses solder/PCB termination for direct board mounting. The 86477-2 belongs to a different connector series (AMPMODU Mod I) and features thicker gold plating (30.0µin versus 15.0µin). Selection depends on whether wire crimp or PCB mounting is required.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these substitutes?

A: Yes. The 48255-000 and 48255-000LF are supplied in Bulk packaging, while the 86477-2 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. Packaging selection affects handling, storage, and integration into automated assembly processes.

Q: Does the 48255-000LF meet RoHS requirements?

A: Yes. The 48255-000LF is RoHS Compliant, whereas the original 48255-000 is RoHS non-compliant. This makes the 48255-000LF suitable for applications and markets requiring RoHS compliance.

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.
