Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 61083-162002 is determined by strict parametric matching across the following critical dimensions:

• Electrical Parameters: 160 positions, 0.031" (0.80mm) pitch, 2-row configuration, center strip contact design
• Physical Parameters: Surface mount mounting type, 0.224" (5.70mm) height above board, board guide feature
• Material Specifications: Gold contact finish at 8.00µin (0.203µm) thickness
• Environmental Ratings: MSL 1 (Unlimited moisture sensitivity level)
• Mating Compatibility: Support for 6mm, 10mm, and 14mm stacking heights

All substitute parts listed maintain these core parameters, ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility with applications designed for the original 61083-162002 component.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Amphenol ICC Substitutes (61083-162402LF, 10069525-162402LF, 61083-162402PLF)

These three parts are parametric equivalents from Amphenol ICC with active product status. The 61083-162402LF and 61083-162402PLF are RoHS Compliant and REACH Affected, providing compliance advantages for regulated applications. Selection between these three should be based on packaging requirements: Tape & Reel (TR) for automated assembly processes, or Cut Tape (CT) for manual or lower-volume applications.

TE Connectivity 179029-8

This manufacturer-recommended alternative from TE Connectivity AMP Connectors maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The part supports an additional 18mm mated stacking height option and has a marginally lower height above board (0.220" versus 0.224"). RoHS status is listed as not applicable. This option is suitable for applications where cross-manufacturer compatibility is acceptable and the additional stacking height option provides design flexibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 61083-162402LF be used as a direct replacement for 61083-162002?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (160 positions, 0.031" pitch, 2 rows), mechanical dimensions (0.224" height above board), contact finish (gold at 8.00µin), and mating stacking heights (6mm, 10mm, 14mm). The primary difference is product status: 61083-162002 is obsolete while 61083-162402LF is active. The suffix change reflects manufacturing updates while maintaining full compatibility.

Q: What is the difference between 61083-162402LF and 61083-162402PLF?

A: Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The difference is packaging: 61083-162402LF is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format for automated pick-and-place assembly, while 61083-162402PLF is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) format. Both are RoHS Compliant and REACH Affected.

Q: Is 10069525-162402LF compatible with designs using 61083-162002?

A: Yes. The 10069525-162402LF maintains all critical parameters including 160 positions, 0.031" pitch, surface mount configuration, and gold contact finish. It belongs to both the BergStak® and MezzSelect™ series. The base product number change (10069525 versus 61083) reflects a different product line within Amphenol ICC, but parametric compatibility is maintained.

Q: Can TE Connectivity 179029-8 be substituted for the Amphenol ICC parts?

A: Yes, with minor considerations. The 179029-8 maintains all core electrical and mechanical parameters. The height above board is marginally lower (0.220" versus 0.224"), which is within typical PCB design tolerances. The part supports an additional 18mm stacking height option. RoHS status differs (not applicable versus compliant), which may affect regulatory compliance requirements for specific applications.

Q: What packaging options are available for these substitutes?

A: Amphenol ICC offers Tape & Reel (TR) packaging for 61083-162402LF and 10069525-162402LF, suitable for high-volume automated assembly. Cut Tape (CT) packaging is available for 61083-162402PLF, suitable for lower-volume or manual assembly processes. TE Connectivity 179029-8 is supplied in bulk packaging.

Q: Are all substitute parts MSL 1 rated?

A: Yes. All listed substitutes, including the original 61083-162002, carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage or handling.
