TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 5-87348-3 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 5-87348-3 is an active rectangular connector header designed for through-hole mounting applications. This unshrouded, vertical 3-position connector operates at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch and features male pin contacts with solder termination. The connector is part of the AMPMODU Mod II series and is RoHS compliant with MSL 1 rating.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent connectors share the same critical electrical and mechanical parameters, enabling direct replacement in board-to-board or cable interconnect applications without circuit redesign.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for rectangular connector headers is determined by alignment across the following critical parameters:

Mating Interface Compatibility:

• Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Number of Positions: 3
• Number of Rows: 1
• Contact Type: Male Pin
• Contact Shape: Square

Physical & Mounting Compatibility:

• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Connector Type: Header
• Fastening Type: Push-Pull
• Shrouding: Unshrouded

Material & Environmental Compliance:

• Contact Material: Phosphor Bronze
• Contact Finish - Mating: Tin
• RoHS Status: RoHS Compliant
• MSL Rating: 1 (Unlimited)

The substitute part 77311-422C03LF (Amphenol ICC BERGSTIK®) meets all critical mating interface and mounting compatibility requirements, enabling functional equivalence in applications requiring 3-position, 2.54mm pitch header connectors with through-hole solder termination.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the TE Connectivity 5-87348-3 and Amphenol ICC 77311-422C03LF are active products with RoHS compliance and MSL 1 ratings, confirming suitability for standard PCB assembly and storage environments without moisture sensitivity constraints.

The 77311-422C03LF substitute provides additional specifications not listed for the primary part, including operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 125°C), current rating (3A per contact), material flammability rating (UL94 V-0), and REACH compliance status. These specifications indicate enhanced environmental qualification for the substitute part.

Contact dimension variations between the two parts (mating contact length difference of 0.013" and post length difference of 0.005") remain within acceptable tolerances for standard 2.54mm pitch header applications. Insulation height difference of 0.010" does not affect mechanical or electrical compatibility in board-to-board configurations.

Selection between these parts should be based on availability, packaging format (bulk versus bag), and application-specific environmental or regulatory requirements. Both parts are suitable for direct substitution in equivalent circuit designs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Amphenol ICC 77311-422C03LF directly replace the TE Connectivity 5-87348-3 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mating pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm), position count (3), contact type (male pin), and mounting method (through-hole solder). Contact dimension variations are within acceptable tolerances for standard header applications.

Q: What is the difference between the termination specifications listed for each part?

A: The TE Connectivity part specifies "Solder" termination, while the Amphenol ICC part lists "Kinked Pin, Solder" termination. Both employ solder-based PCB attachment. The kinked pin design in the substitute part provides additional mechanical retention during soldering without affecting electrical performance or mating compatibility.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these two parts?

A: Yes. The TE Connectivity 5-87348-3 is supplied in bulk packaging, while the Amphenol ICC 77311-422C03LF is supplied in bag packaging. Packaging format does not affect connector functionality or compatibility.

Q: Do the contact dimension differences affect connector performance?

A: No. The mating contact length difference (0.013") and post length difference (0.005") are within standard manufacturing tolerances for 2.54mm pitch headers. Insulation height difference (0.010") does not impact board-to-board mating or electrical characteristics.

Q: What environmental specifications should I consider when selecting between these parts?

A: The Amphenol ICC substitute provides documented operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 125°C) and flammability rating (UL94 V-0). Both parts are RoHS compliant with MSL 1 rating. Selection should align with application temperature requirements and regulatory standards.

Q: Are both parts suitable for high-reliability applications?

A: Both parts are active products with RoHS compliance and MSL 1 ratings. The Amphenol ICC substitute includes additional certifications (UL94 V-0, REACH compliance) that may be required for specific high-reliability or regulated applications.
