Amphenol ICC 65239-028LF Rectangular Connector Housing – Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 65239-028LF is a 56-position rectangular connector housing designed for 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch applications. This receptacle housing accommodates female socket contacts and is configured in a 2-row arrangement with 0.100" row spacing. The housing is manufactured from thermoplastic, glass-filled insulation material and operates across a temperature range of -65°C to 125°C. The part is actively produced, RoHS compliant, and available in bulk packaging with 820 units currently in stock. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are required and the primary part becomes unavailable or when alternative material specifications or temperature ratings are acceptable within system design constraints.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 65239-028LF is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type: Receptacle
• Contact type: Female socket
• Number of positions: 56
• Pitch: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Number of rows: 2
• Row spacing: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Mounting type: Free hanging (in-line)
• Contact termination: Crimp

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors part number 5-87977-8 meets all mandatory electrical and mechanical equivalence criteria. Variations in housing color (blue versus black), insulation material composition (thermoplastic glass-filled versus polyamide nylon glass-filled), and maximum operating temperature (125°C versus 105°C) are secondary characteristics that do not affect functional interchangeability in applications where the lower temperature rating is acceptable.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Amphenol ICC 65239-028LF and TE Connectivity 5-87977-8 are active production parts with RoHS compliance and MSL 1 rating. Selection between these parts should be based on application-specific temperature requirements. The 65239-028LF supports operation to 125°C and is suitable for applications requiring the full extended temperature range. The 5-87977-8 is rated to 105°C maximum and is appropriate for applications where this temperature limit is sufficient. Both parts carry identical electrical and mechanical specifications for position count, pitch, row configuration, and termination method, ensuring direct functional substitution within respective temperature operating windows. Inventory availability and supply chain considerations may also influence part selection, with 820 units of the 65239-028LF and 1106 units of the 5-87977-8 currently in stock.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 5-87977-8 be used as a direct replacement for the Amphenol ICC 65239-028LF?

A: Yes, provided the application operating temperature does not exceed 105°C. Both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent across all critical parameters: 56 positions, 0.100" pitch, 2-row configuration, female socket contacts, and crimp termination. The primary difference is the maximum operating temperature specification.

Q: What are the key differences between these two connector housings?

A: The differences are limited to non-functional characteristics: housing color (blue versus black), insulation material composition (thermoplastic glass-filled versus polyamide nylon glass-filled), and maximum operating temperature (125°C versus 105°C). All electrical and mechanical parameters are identical.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the 65239-028LF and 5-87977-8 are RoHS compliant and carry MSL 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity level) rating.

Q: Do these housings include contacts?

A: No. Both the Amphenol ICC 65239-028LF and TE Connectivity 5-87977-8 are housings only. Contacts must be sourced separately and are not included with either part.

Q: What is the significance of the 0.100" row spacing specification?

A: The 0.100" row spacing defines the distance between the two rows of contact positions. This dimension is critical for mechanical compatibility with mating connectors and PCB layouts. Both substitute parts maintain identical row spacing, ensuring interchangeability in existing designs.

Q: Can these parts be used in applications requiring temperatures above 125°C?

A: No. The Amphenol ICC 65239-028LF is rated to 125°C maximum. The TE Connectivity 5-87977-8 is rated to 105°C maximum. Neither part is suitable for applications exceeding these temperature limits.
