Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Amphenol ICC Replacement: The 55508-014LF is the direct successor to the obsolete 55508-014. Both parts share identical mechanical and electrical specifications with the primary difference being RoHS compliance (55508-014LF is RoHS Compliant) and contact finish post material (Tin versus Tin-Lead). This part is recommended for applications requiring continuity within the Amphenol ICC Minitek® 2.00mm product line and is actively manufactured.

Samtec CLT-107 Series Alternatives: The Samtec CLT-107-02-F-D and its variants provide full electrical and mechanical compatibility with enhanced performance characteristics. All CLT-107 variants are ROHS3 Compliant and feature Liquid Crystal Polymer insulation material, offering superior thermal and mechanical properties compared to plastic insulation. Current rating is increased to 4.1A per contact, providing additional design margin. These parts are actively manufactured and available in multiple packaging configurations.

Connector Entry Style Selection: Standard top-entry variants (CLT-107-02-F-D, CLT-107-02-F-D-A, CLT-107-02-F-D-A-K, CLT-107-02-F-D-A-P) are suitable for standard board-to-board applications. Bottom-entry variants (CLT-107-02-F-D-BE, CLT-107-02-F-D-BE-A) are required for applications with space constraints or specific PCB layout requirements.

Packaging Configuration: Tube packaging is standard for manual assembly and lower-volume production. Tape & Reel packaging (TR suffix) is required for automated pick-and-place assembly processes. Board guide and pick-and-place features (K and P suffixes) are available for enhanced assembly automation compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 55508-014 be directly replaced with the 55508-014LF? A: Yes. The 55508-014LF is the direct active replacement for the obsolete 55508-014. Both parts have identical connector geometry, pitch spacing, and electrical ratings. The primary differences are RoHS compliance status and contact post finish material (Tin versus Tin-Lead).

Q: Are Samtec CLT-107 connectors mechanically compatible with Amphenol ICC Minitek® 2.00mm connectors? A: Yes. The CLT-107-02-F-D variants maintain identical pitch spacing (0.079" / 2.00mm), row configuration (2 rows), position count (14), and push-pull fastening mechanism. Mechanical compatibility is confirmed across all critical mating parameters.

Q: What is the difference between standard and bottom-entry CLT-107 variants? A: Standard variants (CLT-107-02-F-D) feature top-entry connector orientation. Bottom-entry variants (CLT-107-02-F-D-BE) are designed for applications where the connector must be accessed from the bottom of the PCB. Both maintain identical electrical specifications and mating pitch.

Q: Which packaging should be selected for automated assembly? A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging is required for automated pick-and-place assembly. Tube packaging is suitable for manual assembly and lower-volume production. CLT-107 variants with K (pick-and-place) and P (pick-and-place) feature designations provide additional automation compatibility.

Q: Does the increased current rating of CLT-107 parts (4.1A per contact) affect compatibility? A: No. Higher current ratings are allowable substitutions and do not affect mechanical or electrical compatibility. Applications designed for 2A operation will function correctly with 4.1A-rated connectors.

Q: Are there RoHS compliance differences between substitute options? A: Yes. The 55508-014 is RoHS non-compliant. The 55508-014LF is RoHS Compliant. All CLT-107 variants are ROHS3 Compliant. Selection depends on application regulatory requirements.

Q: What is the significance of the board guide feature in CLT-107-02-F-D-A variants? A: The board guide feature provides mechanical alignment assistance during assembly. This is an optional enhancement that does not affect electrical compatibility or mating characteristics.
