Amphenol ICC 50003-1160F High Density Backplane Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 50003-1160F is a 160-position high-density backplane connector featuring female sockets in a through-hole, right-angle configuration. This receptacle connector is part of the HPC™ series and is designed for PCB applications requiring high-density interconnection in a 4-row by 40-column layout with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing.

The 50003-1160F is currently classified as obsolete. Identifying suitable substitute components is necessary to maintain design continuity, ensure component availability, and support ongoing production or maintenance requirements for systems utilizing this connector type.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 50003-1160F is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type and style (Receptacle, Female Sockets; High Density configuration)
• Electrical configuration (160 positions, 4 rows × 40 columns)
• Pitch specification (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Mounting method (Through Hole, Right Angle)
• Termination type (Solder)
• Contact material and finish (Gold, 30.0µin thickness)
• Mating interface (Mating Guide feature)

The substitute part 50003-1160FLF meets all these criteria and is therefore electrically and mechanically interchangeable with the 50003-1160F. The primary distinction between these parts is product status and regulatory compliance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 50003-1160FLF is the direct substitute for the obsolete 50003-1160F. Both connectors are electrically and mechanically identical across all specified parameters.

Selection between these parts should be based on the following factors:

For new designs or systems requiring regulatory compliance, the 50003-1160FLF is the appropriate choice. This part carries Active product status and meets RoHS compliance requirements, ensuring long-term availability and regulatory alignment.

For legacy system maintenance or replacement applications where the original 50003-1160F is specified, the 50003-1160FLF provides direct functional equivalence without design modification. The RoHS-compliant variant maintains the same electrical and mechanical interface, allowing drop-in substitution.

Both parts share identical connector geometry, pitch, position count, and contact specifications, ensuring PCB layout compatibility and mating interface consistency.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 50003-1160F and 50003-1160FLF mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors feature identical mounting type (through-hole, right-angle), position count (160), row/column configuration (4×40), and pitch (0.100"). PCB footprints and mating interfaces are equivalent.

Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers?

A: The 50003-1160FLF is the active production variant with RoHS compliance. The 50003-1160F is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. All electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Can I use the 50003-1160FLF as a direct replacement in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 50003-1160FLF provides direct functional equivalence and can be used as a drop-in substitute without PCB redesign or connector interface modification.

Q: What does the "FLF" suffix indicate in the part number?

A: The suffix denotes the RoHS-compliant variant of the base 50003-1160 connector. The specific suffix designation is assigned by Amphenol ICC to distinguish product variants.

Q: Are there any differences in contact finish or plating between these parts?

A: No. Both parts specify gold contact finish with 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness, ensuring equivalent electrical performance and mating characteristics.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these connectors?

A: Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.
