Amphenol ICC 52601-G60-8 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 52601-G60-8 is a rectangular connector header for surface mount applications, featuring 60 positions arranged in 2 rows with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch. This shrouded, push-pull fastened connector is designed for board-to-board or cable interconnection in electronic assemblies. The part is currently obsolete, making equivalent substitutes necessary for ongoing production, maintenance, and new design implementations where compatible alternatives are required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the 52601-G60-8 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Header with male pins, 60 positions in 2 rows
• Pitch & Spacing: 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch and row spacing
• Mounting & Termination: Surface mount with solder termination
• Shrouding & Fastening: 4-wall shrouded design with push-pull fastening
• Contact Finish: Gold mating surface with tin post finish
• Flammability: UL94 V-0 rated insulation material
• Environmental Compliance: MSL 1 rating for moisture sensitivity

The two substitute parts listed below meet these core substitution criteria while maintaining functional and mechanical compatibility with the original 52601-G60-8 specification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both substitute parts are functionally equivalent to the 52601-G60-8 across all critical mating and mechanical parameters. Selection between them should be based on the following factors:

HTST-130-01-S-DV (Samtec Inc.)

• Active product status with ongoing manufacturer support
• ROHS3 compliant, meeting current environmental regulations
• Extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C) provides broader thermal margin
• Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) insulation material with keying slot feature
• Current rating of 3.4A per contact
• Packaged in tube format

N2560-6V0C-RB-WH (3M)

• Active product status with established supply chain
• RoHS compliant for environmental standards
• Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 105°C) matches original upper limit
• Polycyclohexylenedimethylene Terephthalate (PCT) glass-filled insulation
• Current rating of 1.75A per contact
• Packaged in tape and reel (TR) format with pick-and-place capability
• Higher contact finish thickness on post (200.0µin vs. 100.0µin)

Both parts maintain the same contact pitch, row configuration, shrouding design, and push-pull fastening mechanism as the original 52601-G60-8, ensuring direct mechanical and electrical compatibility in board-level applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the HTST-130-01-S-DV or N2560-6V0C-RB-WH be used as direct replacements for the 52601-G60-8?

A: Yes. Both substitute parts meet the core substitution criteria: identical 60-position, 2-row configuration with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, surface mount solder termination, 4-wall shrouded design, push-pull fastening, and gold-plated mating contacts with tin-plated posts. Mechanical and electrical compatibility is maintained.

Q: What are the differences in operating temperature ranges?

A: The original 52601-G60-8 operates from -65°C to 105°C. The HTST-130-01-S-DV extends the upper limit to 125°C (-55°C ~ 125°C), while the N2560-6V0C-RB-WH maintains the same upper limit at 105°C (-55°C ~ 105°C). Selection depends on application thermal requirements.

Q: How do the current ratings differ between substitutes?

A: The HTST-130-01-S-DV is rated for 3.4A per contact, while the N2560-6V0C-RB-WH is rated for 1.75A per contact. The original 52601-G60-8 does not specify a current rating. Application current requirements should determine which substitute is appropriate.

Q: What is the significance of the packaging format difference?

A: The HTST-130-01-S-DV is supplied in tube packaging, while the N2560-6V0C-RB-WH is supplied in tape and reel (TR) format. Tape and reel packaging is optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly processes, while tube packaging is suitable for manual handling and lower-volume applications.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the substitutes?

A: Yes. The HTST-130-01-S-DV is ROHS3 compliant, while the N2560-6V0C-RB-WH is RoHS compliant. The original 52601-G60-8 is RoHS non-compliant. For applications requiring current environmental standards, either substitute meets compliance requirements.

Q: What insulation materials are used in each part?

A: The 52601-G60-8 does not specify insulation material. The HTST-130-01-S-DV uses Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP), while the N2560-6V0C-RB-WH uses Polycyclohexylenedimethylene Terephthalate (PCT) glass-filled material. Both materials are UL94 V-0 rated for flammability.

Q: Does the keying slot feature affect compatibility?

A: Both substitutes include keying slot features, while the original part does not specify this feature. Keying slots provide polarization benefits and do not negatively impact compatibility with applications designed for the original non-keyed connector.
