Amphenol ICC 55510-016 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 55510-016 is a 16-position receptacle connector in the Minitek® 2.00mm series, designed for surface mount board-to-board applications. This connector features 0.079" (2.00mm) pitch, gold-plated mating contacts, and operates across -55°C to 125°C. The part is currently obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent alternatives that maintain electrical and mechanical compatibility for new designs or production transitions.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Recommendation: 55510-016LF

The 55510-016LF is the direct successor within the Amphenol ICC product line. It maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the 55510-016 while offering active product status and RoHS compliance. This part is the preferred choice for direct replacement in existing designs.

Secondary Recommendations for New Designs:

Samtec TLE Series (TLE-108-01-G-DV-A-K, TLE-108-01-G-DV-A-P-TR, TLE-108-01-G-DV-A-TR, TLE-108-01-G-DV-K-TR, TLE-108-01-G-DV-P-TR): These pass-through receptacle connectors meet all core mechanical and electrical parameters with full temperature range support (-55°C to 125°C). All variants carry ROHS3 compliance and offer enhanced current ratings (3.2A per contact). Packaging options include tube and tape & reel formats for automated assembly. The pass-through design provides additional design flexibility.

Hirose A3 Series (A3-16DA-2SV(71), A3A-16DA-2SV(71)): Both variants provide ROHS3 compliance and meet the 16-position, 2.00mm pitch specification. The A3A variant includes board guide features. Operating temperature is limited to -55°C to 85°C, suitable for applications not requiring the full 125°C upper range. Current rating is 1A per contact.

Molex Milli-Grid 87381 (0873811638): Offers active status and ROHS3 compliance with board guide features. Operating temperature is limited to -55°C to 105°C, and voltage rating is 125V. Current rating is 1.9A. This option is suitable for applications with reduced thermal and voltage requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use 55510-016LF as a direct replacement for 55510-016?

A: Yes. The 55510-016LF maintains identical pitch (0.079" / 2.00mm), position count (16), row configuration (2 rows), mounting type (surface mount), and fastening mechanism (push-pull). Both feature gold-plated mating contacts and operate across -55°C to 125°C at 2A and 200V. The primary difference is product status (active vs. obsolete) and RoHS compliance.

Q: What are the key differences between Samtec TLE variants?

A: All TLE-108-01-G-DV variants share identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Differences are in packaging and features: TLE-108-01-G-DV-A-K (tube, board guide), TLE-108-01-G-DV-A-P-TR (tape & reel, board guide, pick and place), TLE-108-01-G-DV-A-TR (tape & reel, board guide), TLE-108-01-G-DV-K-TR (tape & reel, pick and place), and TLE-108-01-G-DV-P-TR (tape & reel, pick and place). Select based on assembly process requirements.

Q: Why do some substitutes have lower operating temperature ranges?

A: The Hirose A3 series operates to 85°C maximum and the Molex 0873811638 to 105°C maximum, compared to the original 125°C specification. These parts are suitable only for applications where the upper temperature limit does not exceed their rated range. Verify application requirements before selection.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: The original 55510-016 is RoHS non-compliant. The 55510-016LF is RoHS compliant. All Samtec TLE variants and Hirose A3 series parts are ROHS3 compliant. The Molex 0873811638 is ROHS3 compliant. Verify compliance requirements for your application.

Q: What packaging options are available?

A: 55510-016LF is supplied in tube packaging. Samtec TLE variants offer both tube (TLE-108-01-G-DV-A-K) and tape & reel options (TLE-108-01-G-DV-A-P-TR, TLE-108-01-G-DV-A-TR, TLE-108-01-G-DV-K-TR, TLE-108-01-G-DV-P-TR). Hirose A3 series and Molex parts are supplied in tube. Select tape & reel for high-volume automated assembly.

Q: Can I mix and match connector halves from different manufacturers?

A: No. Connectors must be mated with compatible plug halves from the same manufacturer and series. The 55510-016 receptacle mates with Amphenol ICC 55510 plugs. Samtec TLE receptacles mate with Samtec TLE plugs. Verify mating part compatibility before procurement.

Q: What is the difference between pass-through and standard receptacles?

A: Samtec TLE variants are pass-through receptacles, allowing signal routing through the connector body. Standard receptacles (55510-016, 55510-016LF, Hirose A3, Molex 0873811638) terminate signals at the connector. Select pass-through only if your design requires signal pass-through capability.
