Amphenol ICC 65820-024 Rectangular Connector Header - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 65820-024 is a through-hole, right-angle rectangular connector header with 16 positions arranged in 2 rows at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of suitable substitutes essential for ongoing design support and procurement planning. The part features unshrouded male pin contacts with solder termination and push-pull fastening, designed for board-to-cable/wire applications in standard electronic assemblies.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 65820-024 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Header)
• Contact type (Male Pin)
• Position count and row configuration (16 positions, 2 rows)
• Mating pitch and row spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Mounting style (Through Hole, Right Angle)
• Termination method (Solder)
• Contact material (Phosphor Bronze Alloy)
• Insulation material and flammability rating (Polyester, Glass Filled; UL94 V-0)

The substitute part 65820-024LF maintains full electrical and mechanical compatibility with the original specification. Variations in contact finish (Tin-Lead vs. Tin) and product status (Obsolete vs. Active) do not affect functional interchangeability for standard applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 65820-024LF is the direct substitute for the obsolete 65820-024. Selection between these parts should be based on regulatory and compliance requirements:

• For applications requiring RoHS compliance, the 65820-024LF is the appropriate choice, as it meets RoHS standards while the original part does not.
• For legacy systems or applications where RoHS compliance is not mandated, either part maintains functional equivalence.
• The transition from Tin-Lead to Tin contact finish in the 65820-024LF aligns with industry-wide lead-free initiatives and does not compromise electrical or mechanical performance for standard applications.
• Both parts share identical MSL ratings, flammability certifications, and export classifications, ensuring consistent handling and regulatory treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 65820-024 and 65820-024LF mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts feature identical mounting geometry, pitch spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm), row configuration (2 rows, 16 positions), and contact dimensions. They are direct mechanical substitutes.

Q: What is the difference between the Tin-Lead and Tin contact finishes?

A: The 65820-024 uses Tin-Lead plating, while the 65820-024LF uses Tin plating. Both finishes provide equivalent contact resistance and durability for standard solder joint applications. The Tin finish in the 65820-024LF reflects compliance with lead-free manufacturing standards.

Q: Why is the 65820-024 marked as obsolete?

A: The original part has been superseded by the 65820-024LF, which offers improved regulatory compliance (RoHS) and lead-free contact finishing. Amphenol ICC has transitioned production to the newer variant.

Q: Can I use the 65820-024LF as a direct replacement in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 65820-024LF maintains full electrical and mechanical compatibility with the 65820-024. No design modifications are required for substitution.

Q: Are there any packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 65820-024 packaging is not specified in the available data. The 65820-024LF is supplied in Bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement specification.

Q: What is the Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) for these connectors?

A: Both parts carry an MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. Standard storage and handling practices apply.
