Amphenol ICC 65823-043 Rectangular Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 65823-043 is an active rectangular connector header designed for through-hole, right-angle board-to-cable/wire applications. This 50-position, 2-row connector operates at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch and features shrouded 4-wall construction with push-pull fastening. The part is currently in active production status with 1,082 units in stock. Substitute parts are identified when inventory constraints, lead time requirements, or design flexibility necessitate alternative sourcing while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Amphenol ICC 65823-043 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector positioning and pitch: 50 positions, 2 rows, 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch, 0.100" (2.54mm) row spacing
• Mechanical interface: Through-hole, right-angle mounting with shrouded 4-wall construction
• Contact configuration: Male pin contacts with solder termination
• Fastening mechanism: Push-pull fastening type
• Regulatory compliance: UL94 V-0 flammability rating and MSL 1 classification

The substitute part TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 1-102160-0 meets all critical mechanical and electrical positioning requirements. Variations in contact material, contact finish composition, insulation material specification, and operating temperature range do not preclude substitution when the primary functional interface parameters remain equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Amphenol ICC 65823-043 and TE Connectivity 1-102160-0 are active production parts with equivalent regulatory compliance. Both carry UL94 V-0 flammability certification and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity classification, suitable for standard industrial and commercial applications.

The TE Connectivity 1-102160-0 provides documented operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 105°C) and current/voltage ratings (1A per contact, 250VAC), whereas the Amphenol ICC 65823-043 does not specify these parameters in available documentation. When operating temperature or current/voltage specifications are critical design constraints, the TE Connectivity part provides explicit performance data.

Contact geometry differences (circular vs. square) and contact material composition (phosphor bronze alloy vs. brass) represent design variations between manufacturers. These differences do not affect mating compatibility when pitch, row spacing, and shrouding geometry remain identical. Insulation material and color differences are cosmetic and do not impact electrical function.

Selection between these parts should be based on availability, lead time, cost, and any application-specific requirements for documented operating parameters or contact material preferences.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 1-102160-0 directly replace the Amphenol ICC 65823-043 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mating pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm), row spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm), position count (50), row count (2), mounting type (through-hole right-angle), shrouding configuration (4-wall), and fastening mechanism (push-pull). The connectors are mechanically and electrically compatible at the mating interface.

Q: What are the differences in contact geometry between these parts?

A: The Amphenol ICC 65823-043 features circular contact pins, while the TE Connectivity 1-102160-0 uses square contact pins. Both contact shapes are compatible with standard 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch receptacles. Contact shape does not affect mating compatibility.

Q: Why do the contact lengths differ between the two parts?

A: Contact length variations (mating: 0.230" vs. 0.240"; post: 0.105" vs. 0.110") reflect design differences between manufacturers. These minor dimensional variations remain within standard tolerance ranges for 0.100" pitch connectors and do not preclude substitution. Verify PCB layout clearances if space constraints are critical.

Q: Does the TE Connectivity part have better environmental specifications?

A: The TE Connectivity 1-102160-0 provides explicit operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 105°C) and electrical ratings (1A per contact, 250VAC). The Amphenol ICC 65823-043 does not document these parameters. If your application requires specific temperature or current/voltage performance data, the TE Connectivity part offers documented specifications.

Q: Are there compliance or regulatory differences between these parts?

A: Both parts carry UL94 V-0 flammability certification, MSL 1 moisture sensitivity classification, and EAR99 export control classification. The Amphenol ICC 65823-043 is RoHS non-compliant, while the TE Connectivity 1-102160-0 lists RoHS status as not applicable. Verify RoHS compliance requirements for your specific application.

Q: What is the difference between the contact materials?

A: The Amphenol ICC 65823-043 uses phosphor bronze alloy contacts, while the TE Connectivity 1-102160-0 uses brass contacts. Both materials provide adequate electrical conductivity and mechanical durability for standard connector applications. Contact material selection does not affect mating compatibility.

Q: Can I mix these connectors in the same assembly?

A: Yes. Both connectors mate with standard 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch receptacles. Mixing connector types in a single assembly is mechanically feasible, though design consistency is recommended for manufacturing and maintenance efficiency.
