Amphenol ICC 61083-162000 Rectangular Connector Plug Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 61083-162000 is a 160-position rectangular connector plug with center strip contacts designed for surface mount applications. This connector features gold-plated contacts and is part of the BergStak® 0.80mm series. The main part is classified as obsolete, making equivalent and substitute parts necessary for ongoing design support and component procurement. Active alternatives are available from both Amphenol ICC and TE Connectivity that maintain the same electrical and mechanical specifications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the 61083-162000 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Electrical Compatibility: 160 positions, 0.031" (0.80mm) pitch, 2-row configuration, center strip contact design
• Physical Compatibility: Surface mount mounting type, board guide feature, gold contact finish at 8.00µin thickness
• Environmental Compatibility: MSL 1 rating (unlimited moisture sensitivity)
• Mechanical Compatibility: Mated stacking heights and height above board dimensions

Substitute parts are grouped into two categories:

Amphenol ICC Direct Substitutes (61083-162400LF, 61083-162409LF): These parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications while offering active product status and improved compliance certifications compared to the obsolete 61083-162000.

Cross-Manufacturer Equivalent (TE Connectivity 179029-8): This part meets all critical electrical and mechanical parameters but originates from a different manufacturer series (Free Height vs. BergStak®). The TE Connectivity part supports an additional 18mm mated stacking height option.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For RoHS-compliant applications: Select either 61083-162400LF or 61083-162409LF. Both parts are active Amphenol ICC products with RoHS compliance and REACH affected status. These represent direct functional replacements for the obsolete 61083-162000 with improved regulatory alignment.

For applications requiring maximum stacking height flexibility: The TE Connectivity 179029-8 supports an additional 18mm mated stacking height option beyond the standard 6mm, 10mm, and 14mm heights. This part maintains all other electrical and mechanical specifications but has not applicable RoHS status.

For supply chain continuity within Amphenol ICC ecosystem: Both 61083-162400LF and 61083-162409LF maintain the BergStak® 0.80mm series designation and are sourced from the same manufacturer, ensuring consistent design support and availability.

All substitute parts maintain the critical electrical parameters: 160 positions, 0.031" pitch, 2-row configuration, and gold contact finish at specified thickness. Height above board measurements differ minimally (0.224" vs. 0.220"), which is within typical PCB design tolerances for surface mount applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 61083-162400LF and 61083-162409LF be used interchangeably with 61083-162000?

A: Yes. Both parts are parametric equivalents with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary differences are product status (active vs. obsolete) and compliance certifications (RoHS compliant vs. non-compliant). Packaging differs (Tube vs. unspecified), which may affect procurement quantities but not functional compatibility.

Q: What is the difference between 61083-162400LF and 61083-162409LF?

A: Both parts are Amphenol ICC BergStak® 0.80mm series plugs with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The suffix designations indicate different manufacturing or compliance batches. Inventory levels differ (812 Pcs vs. 1019 Pcs), but functional performance is equivalent.

Q: Is the TE Connectivity 179029-8 a direct replacement?

A: The 179029-8 is a parametric equivalent that meets all critical electrical and mechanical requirements. It originates from the TE Connectivity Free Height series rather than the Amphenol BergStak® series. The height above board measurement is 0.220" compared to 0.224", a 0.004" difference. The 179029-8 supports an additional 18mm mated stacking height option. RoHS status is not applicable for this part.

Q: What does MSL 1 (Unlimited) mean for these connectors?

A: MSL 1 indicates the lowest moisture sensitivity level, meaning these connectors can be stored indefinitely without special moisture control measures. No baking or desiccant storage is required prior to assembly.

Q: Are there packaging considerations when selecting a substitute?

A: The Amphenol ICC substitutes (61083-162400LF and 61083-162409LF) are supplied in Tube packaging. The original 61083-162000 and TE Connectivity 179029-8 have unspecified packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement process, as this may affect minimum order quantities and handling procedures.

Q: Which substitute should I select for new designs?

A: For new designs, select either 61083-162400LF or 61083-162409LF based on availability and supply chain preference. Both are active products with RoHS compliance. If your application requires the 18mm stacking height option, the TE Connectivity 179029-8 is the only available choice among these substitutes.
