Amphenol ICC 65823-073 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 65823-073 is a rectangular connector header, right-angle configuration, with 26 positions at 2.54mm pitch. This through-hole, shrouded component is designed for board-to-cable/wire applications with solder termination and latch lock/eject fastening. The part is currently active in production with 862 units in stock. Substitute parts become necessary when the primary part reaches end-of-life status, inventory constraints occur, or design requirements permit alternative connector architectures that maintain electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The 3M 3429-5002 qualifies as a substitute for the Amphenol ICC 65823-073 based on the following critical parameters:

• Position Count & Pitch: Both parts feature 26 positions with 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch and 0.100" (2.54mm) row spacing
• Connector Architecture: Both are shrouded, 4-wall headers with male pin contacts
• Mounting Configuration: Both employ through-hole, right-angle mounting with solder termination
• Electrical Interface: Both use gold-plated mating contacts with 30.0µin (0.76µm) finish thickness
• Mechanical Compatibility: Both feature keying slots and mounting flanges for board-level integration
• Flammability Compliance: Both meet UL94 V-0 material flammability rating
• Regulatory Status: Both are non-RoHS compliant and classified under ECCN EAR99

Variations exist in contact geometry (circular vs. square), insulation material composition, and fastening mechanism (latch lock/eject hooks vs. push-pull), but these do not prevent functional substitution in applications where the mating interface and electrical characteristics are the primary design constraints.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Amphenol ICC 65823-073 is the preferred primary selection due to its active product status and current availability (862 units in stock). This ensures long-term supply continuity and manufacturer support.

The 3M 3429-5002 is classified as obsolete, indicating discontinued production and limited future availability. Selection of this substitute should be restricted to applications where existing inventory is available and supply chain risk is acceptable. The 3429-5002 provides equivalent mating interface characteristics and meets identical flammability compliance requirements (UL94 V-0), supporting functional interchangeability in board-level connector applications.

Both parts are non-RoHS compliant and subject to REACH regulations. Design decisions involving either part should account for regulatory requirements applicable to the end application and geographic market.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 3M 3429-5002 be used as a direct replacement for the Amphenol ICC 65823-073?

A: Yes, within the constraints of the mating interface. Both connectors feature identical position counts (26), pitch spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm), row configuration (2 rows), mounting type (through-hole, right-angle), and shrouding (4-wall). The mating contact interface is electrically and mechanically compatible. Differences in contact geometry (circular vs. square) and fastening mechanism (latch lock/eject vs. push-pull) do not prevent substitution in standard board-to-cable applications.

Q: What are the key differences between these two parts?

A: Primary differences include contact shape (circular vs. square), insulation material composition (polyester glass-filled vs. PCT/polyester glass-filled), fastening type (latch lock/eject hooks vs. push-pull), and product status (active vs. obsolete). The 3429-5002 provides specified operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 105°C) and current rating (1.75A), whereas the 65823-073 does not specify these parameters.

Q: Why is the 3M 3429-5002 listed as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates that the manufacturer has discontinued production. This part remains available through existing inventory channels but will not receive new manufacturing runs. Long-term availability cannot be assured.

Q: Are there any compliance or regulatory differences?

A: Both parts are non-RoHS compliant and REACH-affected. Both meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and are classified under ECCN EAR99. No compliance advantage exists between the two options.

Q: What should be considered when selecting between these parts?

A: Selection should prioritize the Amphenol ICC 65823-073 for new designs and long-term production due to active status and current inventory availability. The 3M 3429-5002 may be considered only when existing stock is available and supply chain continuity is not a design constraint.
