Amphenol ICC 54102-S0804LF Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 54102-S0804LF is an 8-position vertical header connector with 2.54mm pitch, designed for through-hole board-to-board or cable applications. This BERGSTIK® series connector features male pins with gold or gold GXT™ mating contact finish and tin post finish, rated for 3A per contact across an operating temperature range of -65°C to 125°C. The connector is RoHS Compliant with UL94 V-0 flammability rating and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity level. Substitute parts are identified to provide alternative sourcing options when the primary part is unavailable or when specific design requirements necessitate alternative contact finishes, post lengths, or insulation materials.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 54102-S0804LF is determined by strict adherence to the following core parameters: 8-position, 2-row configuration with 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch and row spacing; through-hole solder termination; male pin contact type; square contact shape; phosphor bronze contact material; 3A current rating; -65°C to 125°C operating temperature range; UL94 V-0 flammability rating; and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity level.

Substitute parts are grouped based on variations in the following allowed parameters: contact finish composition (gold, tin, or combinations thereof); contact finish thickness on mating and post surfaces; contact length specifications (mating and post); overall contact length; insulation height; insulation material composition; connector type designation (header or header breakaway); and shrouding configuration (unshrouded).

All substitute parts maintain electrical and mechanical compatibility through identical pitch, position count, row configuration, mounting method, and termination approach. Variations in contact finish and post length do not affect interchangeability in standard through-hole PCB applications where mechanical fit and electrical continuity are the primary requirements.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All listed substitute parts maintain active product status and meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements. Selection among substitutes depends on specific design constraints related to contact finish, post length, and insulation material composition.

For applications requiring gold mating contact finish with standard post length (0.120" / 3.05mm), PBC04DAAN and PEC04DAAN provide direct mechanical and electrical equivalence to the 54102-S0804LF. PBC04DAAN uses phosphor bronze contacts with PBT insulation, while PEC04DAAN uses phosphor bronze contacts with PBT insulation and tin mating finish.

For applications requiring extended post lengths for deeper PCB penetration or specific board thickness accommodations, Sullins PBC04DABN (0.230" post), PBC04DAEN (0.520" post), and PBC04DAHN (0.820" post) provide graduated options. Equivalent tin-finish variants are available in the PEC04 series: PEC04DABN (0.230" post) and PEC04DACN (0.320" post).

Molex 0010897081 and 0010897082 offer alternative sourcing with LCP glass-filled insulation material. The 0010897081 features tin mating finish, while 0010897082 provides gold mating finish. Both maintain 0.100" (2.54mm) insulation height compared to the 54102-S0804LF specification.

TE Connectivity 87215-1 operates within a reduced temperature range (-65°C to 105°C) and features circular contact geometry with gold finish on both mating and post surfaces. This part is suitable for applications where the lower temperature ceiling is acceptable and circular contact geometry is compatible with mating receptacles.

For RoHS compliance requirements, Sullins PBC04 and PEC04 series parts carry ROHS3 Compliant status. Molex parts are ROHS3 Compliant. TE Connectivity 87215-1 carries "Not applicable" RoHS status.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I substitute the Amphenol ICC 54102-S0804LF with any of the listed parts in a standard through-hole PCB application?

A: Yes, all listed substitute parts maintain the core electrical and mechanical specifications required for through-hole PCB mounting: 8-position, 2-row configuration with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, male pin contacts, square contact geometry (except TE Connectivity 87215-1 which uses circular contacts), solder termination, and 3A current rating. Physical fit and electrical continuity are preserved across all substitutes.

Q: What is the significance of contact finish differences between the main part and substitutes?

A: Contact finish affects corrosion resistance, contact resistance stability, and long-term reliability in specific environmental conditions. The 54102-S0804LF specifies gold or gold GXT™ mating finish at 15.0µin (0.38µm) thickness. Substitute parts vary: Molex 0010897082 matches this specification exactly; Sullins PBC04 series parts use 10.0µin (0.25µm) gold finish; Sullins PEC04 series parts use 100.0µin (2.54µm) tin finish; Molex 0010897081 uses 150.0µin (3.81µm) tin finish; TE Connectivity 87215-1 uses 30.0µin (0.76µm) gold finish. Selection depends on environmental exposure and contact resistance requirements.

Q: How do post length variations affect compatibility?

A: Post length determines how deeply the connector penetrates the PCB and affects solder joint formation. The 54102-S0804LF specifies 0.120" (3.05mm) post length. Substitute parts with matching post length (PBC04DAAN, PEC04DAAN) provide direct compatibility. Extended post lengths (PBC04DABN at 0.230", PBC04DAEN at 0.520", PBC04DAHN at 0.820", PEC04DABN at 0.230", PEC04DACN at 0.320") are suitable for thicker PCBs or applications requiring deeper solder penetration. Molex parts use 0.107" (2.71mm) post length, which is slightly shorter than the main part specification.

Q: Are there temperature rating differences I should consider?

A: The 54102-S0804LF operates across -65°C to 125°C. Most substitute parts maintain this range: all Sullins parts (PBC04 and PEC04 series) and Amphenol ICC specification match this range. TE Connectivity 87215-1 operates within a reduced range of -65°C to 105°C, making it unsuitable for applications requiring the full 125°C upper limit. Molex parts do not specify operating temperature in the provided data.

Q: What insulation material differences exist, and do they matter for my application?

A: The 54102-S0804LF does not specify insulation material. Substitute parts use: Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) glass-filled (Molex 0010897081, 0010897082), Thermoplastic (TE Connectivity 87215-1), and Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) (all Sullins parts). Material selection affects thermal stability, moisture absorption, and mechanical properties. LCP provides superior thermal and dimensional stability; PBT offers good general-purpose performance; Thermoplastic provides basic functionality. Selection depends on environmental exposure and mechanical stress requirements.

Q: What is the difference between RoHS Compliant and ROHS3 Compliant status?

A: RoHS Compliant indicates conformance to the original Restriction of Hazardous Substances directive. ROHS3 Compliant indicates conformance to the updated RoHS 3 directive (2011/65/EU as amended by 2015/863/EU), which includes additional restricted substances. All Sullins parts and Molex parts carry ROHS3 Compliant status, providing compliance with current EU regulations. The 54102-S0804LF carries RoHS Compliant status. TE Connectivity 87215-1 carries "Not applicable" status.

Q: How do I select between gold and tin mating contact finishes?

A: Gold finish provides superior corrosion resistance and lower contact resistance, making it suitable for high-reliability applications, harsh environments, or applications with infrequent mating cycles. Tin finish offers cost advantages and adequate performance for general-purpose applications with regular mating cycles. The 54102-S0804LF specifies gold or gold GXT™ finish. For equivalent gold-finish substitutes, select Molex 0010897082, Sullins PBC04DAAN, PBC04DABN, PBC04DAEN, or PBC04DAHN. For tin-finish alternatives, select Molex 0010897081, Sullins PEC04DAAN, PEC04DABN, or PEC04DACN.

Q: What does "Breakaway" connector type mean in the substitute parts?

A: Breakaway connectors feature a design that allows individual pins or groups of pins to be separated from the main connector body, typically through a perforated or weakened section. This feature provides flexibility in applications where partial connector use or custom pin configurations are required. The 54102-S0804LF is designated as a standard Header type without breakaway capability. Most substitute parts (Molex and Sullins) include breakaway functionality, which does not prevent their use as standard headers in applications where breakaway capability is not needed.
