Amphenol ICC 54202-T08-04 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 54202-T08-04 is a rectangular connector header for surface mount applications, featuring 8 positions arranged in 2 rows with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch. This BERGSTIK® series component is classified as obsolete, making equivalent substitute parts necessary for new designs and ongoing production support. The connector is designed for board-to-board applications with push-pull fastening and solder termination.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 54202-T08-04 are qualified based on the following critical parameters that must match or be compatible:

• Connector Type: Header (with breakaway or cuttable variants acceptable)
• Contact Type: Male Pin
• Number of Positions: 8
• Number of Rows: 2
• Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Row Spacing - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Termination: Solder
• Fastening Type: Push-Pull
• Contact Shape: Square
• Style: Board to Board or Board to Board/Cable compatible
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0

The four qualified substitutes (Molex 0015911088, TE Connectivity 5-147292-6, Sullins GBC04DABN-M30, and Harwin M20-8760442) meet these core electrical and mechanical parameters. Variations in contact finish, insulation height, and operating temperature ranges do not prevent functional substitution when the mating interface and pitch specifications are identical.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All four substitute parts are active products with ROHS3 compliance, addressing the obsolescence and regulatory limitations of the original 54202-T08-04. Selection among substitutes should be based on the following factors:

Molex 0015911088: Active product with ROHS3 compliance. Features gold mating contact finish and board guide feature. Insulation height of 0.090" (2.29mm) differs from original. Suitable for applications requiring enhanced contact reliability through gold plating.

TE Connectivity 5-147292-6: Active product with ROHS3 compliance. Maintains tin mating contact finish matching the original specification. Includes pick-and-place feature for automated assembly. Operating temperature range of -65°C to 105°C and 30VAC voltage rating are specified. Insulation height of 0.090" (2.29mm) differs from original.

Sullins GBC04DABN-M30: Active product with ROHS3 compliance. Maintains phosphor bronze contact material matching the original. Gold mating contact finish with 3A current rating per contact. Operating temperature range extends to -65°C to 150°C. Insulation height matches original at 0.100" (2.54mm).

Harwin M20-8760442: Active product with ROHS3 compliance. Cuttable header variant with brass contact material. Gold mating contact finish, 3A per contact current rating, and 250V voltage rating. Operating temperature range of -40°C to 105°C. Insulation height matches original at 0.100" (2.54mm). Multiple mated stacking heights available.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I directly replace the 54202-T08-04 with any of these substitute parts?

A: Yes, all four substitute parts are mechanically and electrically compatible for the mating interface. The 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, 8-position 2-row configuration, and push-pull fastening are identical across all parts. Verify your PCB layout accommodates the specific insulation height of your chosen substitute, as some variants measure 0.090" (2.54mm) while others match the original 0.100" (2.54mm).

Q: What is the difference between breakaway and cuttable headers?

A: Breakaway headers (Molex, TE Connectivity, Sullins) feature pre-scored sections allowing individual position removal by hand or tool. Cuttable headers (Harwin M20-8760442) allow custom cutting to desired position count using a saw or cutting tool. Both styles maintain the same mating interface and pitch specifications.

Q: Does the contact finish affect compatibility?

A: Contact finish (tin versus gold) does not affect mechanical compatibility or mating interface. Gold-plated contacts (Molex, Sullins, Harwin) provide enhanced corrosion resistance and contact reliability compared to tin finish. Selection depends on environmental exposure and reliability requirements of your application.

Q: Are there voltage or current rating differences I should consider?

A: The original 54202-T08-04 does not specify voltage or current ratings. Substitute parts provide ratings: TE Connectivity specifies 30VAC, Sullins and Harwin specify 3A per contact, and Harwin specifies 250V. These ratings represent the connector's capability and do not restrict substitution; use the highest available rating for your application requirements.

Q: What is the impact of insulation height variation?

A: Insulation height affects the vertical clearance between the connector body and the PCB. The original specifies 0.100" (2.54mm); Molex and TE Connectivity variants measure 0.090" (2.29mm). Verify your PCB layout and component placement accommodate the selected substitute's insulation height to prevent interference with adjacent components.

Q: Which substitute offers the best long-term availability?

A: All four substitutes are classified as active products with current manufacturing status. Harwin M20-8760442 offers the highest inventory (3185 pcs), followed by Sullins GBC04DABN-M30 (1541 pcs), Molex 0015911088 (953 pcs), and TE Connectivity 5-147292-6 (751 pcs).
