Amphenol ICC 64991-S06-3R Rectangular Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 64991-S06-3R is a shrouded vertical header connector with 12 positions arranged in 2 rows at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch. This through-hole rectangular connector features male pins with gold-plated mating contacts and kinked pin solder termination, designed for board-to-board applications. The part is classified as obsolete, making equivalent and substitute parts necessary for ongoing production and maintenance applications. Active alternatives from both Amphenol ICC and TE Connectivity are available with compatible electrical and mechanical specifications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the 64991-S06-3R is determined by strict equivalence in the following critical parameters:

Connector type (Header)
Contact type (Male Pin)
Number of positions and rows (12 positions, 2 rows)
Mating pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm)
Row spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm)
Shrouding configuration (Shrouded - 4 Wall)
Mounting method (Through Hole)
Fastening type (Push-Pull)
Insulation height (0.550" / 13.97mm)
Contact shape (Square)

The substitute parts listed maintain these core parameters. Variations in contact finish thickness, post finish material, insulation material composition, and compliance certifications do not affect mechanical or electrical interchangeability for standard board-to-board applications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Amphenol ICC Substitute: The 64991-S06-3RLF is the primary equivalent from the same manufacturer. It maintains identical mechanical and electrical specifications while offering active product status and RoHS compliance. The only material difference is the tin finish on the post contacts versus the original part's unspecified post finish. This part is recommended for applications requiring continuity with the BergCon® series.

TE Connectivity Alternatives: The 5-102692-1, 5-534257-5, and 534257-5 from TE Connectivity AMPMODU Mod II series provide full mechanical and electrical compatibility. These parts are active products with established supply chains. The 5-102692-1 and 5-534257-5 offer RoHS compliance, while 534257-5 maintains RoHS non-compliant status matching the original part. Selection between these three TE parts depends on compliance requirements and post finish material specifications (tin versus tin-lead).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 64991-S06-3RLF directly replace the 64991-S06-3R?

A: Yes. The 64991-S06-3RLF maintains all critical mechanical and electrical parameters. The primary difference is product status (active versus obsolete) and RoHS compliance. Both parts feature identical pitch, position count, shrouding, and mounting specifications.

Q: What is the difference between Amphenol ICC and TE Connectivity substitutes?

A: Both manufacturers provide mechanically and electrically compatible parts. Amphenol ICC maintains the BergCon® series designation, while TE Connectivity uses the AMPMODU Mod II series. Contact material differs (Phosphor Bronze versus Copper Alloy), but this does not affect interchangeability for standard applications. Selection depends on supply availability, compliance certifications, and existing design documentation.

Q: Are there differences in packaging between these parts?

A: Yes. The 64991-S06-3R and 64991-S06-3RLF differ in packaging (unspecified versus Tray). The TE Connectivity parts are supplied in Tube packaging. Packaging does not affect connector performance but may influence procurement and handling procedures.

Q: Which substitute should I select for new designs?

A: For new designs, select from active products with appropriate compliance certifications. The 64991-S06-3RLF (RoHS Compliant) or 5-102692-1 (ROHS3 Compliant) are recommended. For applications requiring RoHS non-compliance matching the original part, 534257-5 is available.

Q: Do all these connectors have the same current and voltage ratings?

A: The main part (64991-S06-3R) does not specify current or voltage ratings in the provided data. The TE Connectivity substitutes specify 2A to 3A current rating and 250VAC voltage rating. Verify application requirements against the specific substitute part selected.

Q: What is the significance of the contact finish thickness differences?

A: Contact finish thickness variations (15.0µin to 30.0µin for mating surfaces) do not affect mechanical interchangeability. These differences reflect manufacturing specifications and durability characteristics. Standard applications are not affected by these variations.
