Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Amphenol ICC 65863-183 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Header)
• Contact type (Male Pin)
• Number of positions (20)
• Number of rows (2)
• Mating pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Row spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Shrouding configuration (Shrouded - 4 Wall)
• Mounting method (Through Hole)
• Termination method (Solder)
• Fastening mechanism (Latch Lock/Eject Hooks, Short)
• Contact shape (Square)
• Flammability rating (UL94 V-0)

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors part number 499910-4 meets all critical substitution criteria and is classified as a manufacturer-recommended equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Amphenol ICC 65863-183 and TE Connectivity 499910-4 are active production components with identical core electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on:

Inventory availability and lead time requirements. The Amphenol ICC 65863-183 has 940 units in stock, while the TE Connectivity 499910-4 has 663 units available.

Compliance status. The Amphenol ICC 65863-183 is RoHS non-compliant. The TE Connectivity 499910-4 has not applicable RoHS status and is REACH affected, which may be relevant for applications subject to European regulatory requirements.

Physical dimensional variations. The TE Connectivity 499910-4 exhibits slightly different contact lengths and insulation height compared to the original part. These differences fall within acceptable tolerances for standard board-to-cable interconnection applications but should be verified against specific PCB layout and mating connector specifications.

Contact finish specifications. The Amphenol ICC 65863-183 provides 30.0µin gold plating on mating contacts, while the TE Connectivity 499910-4 provides 15.0µin gold or gold-palladium plating. Both finishes meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What makes the TE Connectivity 499910-4 a valid substitute for the Amphenol ICC 65863-183?

A: Both connectors share identical core specifications: 20-position, 2-row header with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, shrouded 4-wall configuration, through-hole solder termination, and latch lock fastening. Both are active production components with UL94 V-0 flammability ratings and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity levels.

Q: Are there dimensional differences between these parts?

A: Yes. The TE Connectivity 499910-4 has a contact mating length of 0.240" (6.10mm) versus 0.230" (5.84mm) for the Amphenol ICC 65863-183. The insulation height differs: 0.549" (13.94mm) for the TE part versus 0.640" (16.26mm) for the Amphenol part. These variations require verification against mating connector specifications and PCB layout constraints.

Q: What is the difference in contact finish between these parts?

A: The Amphenol ICC 65863-183 uses 30.0µin (0.76µm) gold plating on mating contacts. The TE Connectivity 499910-4 uses 15.0µin (0.38µm) gold or gold-palladium plating. Both finishes provide adequate electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance for standard applications.

Q: Does RoHS compliance status affect substitution?

A: The Amphenol ICC 65863-183 is RoHS non-compliant, while the TE Connectivity 499910-4 has not applicable RoHS status with REACH affected designation. Applications subject to European Union regulations or customer RoHS requirements should prioritize the TE Connectivity part.

Q: Can I use the TE Connectivity 499910-4 in existing designs without PCB modifications?

A: The dimensional differences, particularly insulation height and contact length variations, require verification against existing mating connector specifications and PCB layout. Physical testing or design review is necessary to confirm mechanical compatibility in specific applications.

Q: What is the packaging difference between these parts?

A: The Amphenol ICC 65863-183 is supplied in Tray packaging. The TE Connectivity 499910-4 is supplied in Bulk packaging. Packaging format may affect handling, storage, and assembly line integration requirements.
