Equivalent & Substitute Parts for Amphenol ICC 65000-018

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 65000-018 is a 32-position receptacle connector with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, designed for through-hole, right-angle PCB mounting with gold-plated mating contacts. This connector is part of the BergCon® series and is classified as obsolete. Due to its obsolete status, equivalent substitute parts from active product lines are necessary to maintain design continuity and ensure long-term component availability for new production and field service applications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 65000-018 are qualified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional and mechanical compatibility:

Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Receptacle with female socket contacts
Position Count & Pitch: 32 positions at 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch
Row Configuration: 2 rows with 0.100" (2.54mm) row spacing
Mounting & Termination: Through-hole, right-angle PCB mounting with solder termination
Fastening Mechanism: Push-pull fastening type
Contact Finish: Gold-plated mating surface
Contact Geometry: Square contact shape

The substitute parts TE Connectivity 1-87961-5 and 1-87962-5 meet all these critical parameters and are from the AMPMODU Mod II series, which maintains mechanical and electrical compatibility with the original 65000-018 design.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both TE Connectivity substitute parts 1-87961-5 and 1-87962-5 are qualified replacements for the obsolete Amphenol ICC 65000-018. Selection between the two TE Connectivity options is based on regulatory compliance requirements:

TE Connectivity 1-87961-5 is suitable for applications where RoHS compliance is required. This part carries RoHS Compliant certification and maintains all mechanical and electrical parameters equivalent to the original design.

TE Connectivity 1-87962-5 is suitable for applications requiring ROHS3 compliance, representing the most current regulatory standard. This part also maintains full mechanical and electrical compatibility with the original 65000-018 design.

Both substitute parts are from active product lines, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity. The minor dimensional variations in insulation height (0.238" versus 0.240") and contact finish thickness (50.0µin versus 40.0µin) are within acceptable engineering tolerances for this connector category and do not affect functional compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TE Connectivity 1-87961-5 and 1-87962-5 be used interchangeably with the Amphenol ICC 65000-018?

A: Yes. Both TE Connectivity parts meet the critical substitution parameters: 32-position receptacle configuration, 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, 2-row layout, through-hole right-angle mounting, solder termination, push-pull fastening, and gold-plated mating contacts. The parts are mechanically and electrically compatible with the original design.

Q: What is the difference between TE Connectivity 1-87961-5 and 1-87962-5?

A: Both parts are functionally equivalent. The primary difference is regulatory compliance: 1-87961-5 carries RoHS Compliant certification, while 1-87962-5 carries ROHS3 Compliant certification. Select based on your application's regulatory requirements.

Q: Why are the contact finish thicknesses different between the original and substitute parts?

A: The original 65000-018 specifies 40.0µin (1.02µm) mating contact finish, while the TE Connectivity substitutes specify 50.0µin (1.27µm). This increase in gold plating thickness is within acceptable engineering tolerances and provides enhanced durability and contact reliability without affecting compatibility.

Q: Are there any PCB layout considerations when switching from the 65000-018 to the TE Connectivity substitutes?

A: The insulation height differs slightly: 0.240" (6.10mm) for the original versus 0.238" (6.05mm) for the substitutes. This 0.002" (0.05mm) difference is negligible for standard PCB designs and does not require layout modifications. All other mounting dimensions, including contact post length (0.115" / 2.92mm) and pitch specifications, are identical.

Q: What is the packaging format for the substitute parts?

A: Both TE Connectivity 1-87961-5 and 1-87962-5 are supplied in tube packaging, suitable for automated assembly processes and manual component handling.
