Amphenol ICC 51915-012 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 51915-012 is a 31-position backplane connector receptacle featuring female sockets and blade sockets for board edge, through-hole, right-angle mounting. This connector is part of the PwrBlade® series and provides a contact layout of 24 signal and 7 power positions with gold-plated contacts rated for -20°C to 105°C operation.

The 51915-012 carries an obsolete product status. Identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary to ensure design continuity, maintain supply chain reliability, and support legacy system maintenance where this connector type remains in use.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 51915-012 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Receptacle, Female Sockets and Blade Sockets)
• Number of positions (31)
• Pitch spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Number of rows (4)
• Mounting configuration (Board Edge, Through Hole, Right Angle)
• Contact layout (24 Signal, 7 Power)
• Contact finish specification (Gold or Gold, GXT™)
• Operating temperature range (-20°C to 105°C)
• Flammability rating (UL94 V-0)

The 51915-012LF meets all these criteria and qualifies as a direct substitute. The primary distinction is product status and compliance certification, not electrical or mechanical performance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 51915-012LF is the direct substitute for the obsolete 51915-012. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical across all specified parameters. The 51915-012LF offers the following advantages:

• Active product status ensures ongoing manufacturer support and availability
• RoHS compliance satisfies regulatory requirements for new designs and procurement
• REACH compliance status documented for supply chain transparency
• Tray packaging provides improved handling and inventory management compared to bulk packaging

Selection of the 51915-012LF is appropriate for applications requiring the PwrBlade® 31-position receptacle connector with the specified electrical and mechanical characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 51915-012LF be used as a direct replacement for the 51915-012?

A: Yes. The 51915-012LF is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the 51915-012 across all specified parameters including connector type, position count, pitch, mounting configuration, contact layout, finish specification, and operating temperature range.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The 51915-012 is obsolete, while the 51915-012LF is active. The 51915-012LF is RoHS compliant and REACH affected, whereas the 51915-012 is RoHS non-compliant. Packaging differs: the 51915-012LF is supplied in trays.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns when substituting the 51915-012LF for the 51915-012?

A: No compatibility concerns exist. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Board-level integration, mating connector requirements, and signal integrity characteristics remain unchanged.

Q: What packaging options are available?

A: The 51915-012 is supplied in bulk packaging. The 51915-012LF is supplied in tray packaging, which provides improved component protection and inventory tracking.

Q: Does the RoHS compliance difference affect performance?

A: No. RoHS compliance is a regulatory and supply chain requirement, not a performance specification. Both parts meet identical electrical and mechanical performance criteria.
