Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 55508-114 is obsolete and no longer available for new production. The 55508-114LF is the direct Amphenol ICC replacement, maintaining identical electrical and mechanical specifications while achieving RoHS compliance and active product status. This part is recommended for applications requiring continuity with the original Amphenol ICC Minitek® 2.00mm series.

The Samtec CLT-107 series provides functionally equivalent alternatives with enhanced specifications. All CLT variants maintain core compatibility across pitch, position count, row configuration, and termination method. The CLT series offers improved current ratings (4.1A per contact versus 2A) and uses Liquid Crystal Polymer insulation instead of standard plastic, providing superior dimensional stability and environmental resistance.

For standard applications, CLT-107-02-F-D or CLT-107-02-F-D-A are suitable. Bottom entry variants (CLT-107-02-F-D-BE, CLT-107-02-F-D-BE-A) accommodate different PCB layout requirements. Tape & Reel packaging (TR suffix) is appropriate for high-volume automated assembly. Board Guide and Pick and Place features (A, K, P suffixes) support manufacturing automation without affecting electrical compatibility.

All substitute parts carry ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating, meeting current regulatory requirements and environmental standards.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CLT-107 series parts directly replace the 55508-114 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The CLT-107-02-F-D and variants maintain identical mating pitch (0.079"), position count (14), row configuration (2 rows), contact geometry (square), and termination method (solder). PCB footprints are compatible. The insulation height difference (0.083" vs. 0.091") does not affect electrical performance or mechanical fit in standard board-to-board applications.

Q: What is the difference between standard CLT-107-02-F-D and bottom entry CLT-107-02-F-D-BE variants?

A: Bottom entry (BE) variants accommodate mating connectors inserted from the bottom of the PCB rather than the top. This affects mechanical assembly orientation only. Electrical specifications and contact performance remain identical.

Q: Does packaging type (Tube vs. Tape & Reel) affect electrical compatibility?

A: No. Tube and Tape & Reel packaging are logistics and assembly process variations only. Electrical and mechanical specifications are identical. Tape & Reel (TR) packaging is standard for automated pick-and-place assembly; Tube packaging is typical for manual or lower-volume assembly.

Q: What do the suffixes A, K, and P indicate in CLT part numbers?

A: A indicates Board Guide feature for improved alignment. K indicates Pick and Place feature for automated assembly compatibility. P indicates Pick and Place feature. These are manufacturing convenience features that do not alter electrical performance or mating compatibility.

Q: Is the 55508-114LF a suitable direct replacement for the obsolete 55508-114?

A: Yes. The 55508-114LF is the active production equivalent from Amphenol ICC, maintaining all electrical and mechanical specifications while achieving RoHS compliance. This is the recommended choice for applications requiring continuity with the original manufacturer.

Q: What is the current rating difference between the original part and CLT substitutes?

A: The 55508-114 is rated at 2A; CLT-107 variants are rated at 4.1A per contact. This represents improved performance capability. Applications designed for 2A operation remain fully compatible with the higher-rated CLT parts.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: The 55508-114 is RoHS non-compliant. The 55508-114LF is RoHS Compliant. All Samtec CLT-107 variants are ROHS3 Compliant, meeting current regulatory requirements for new designs and production.
