Amphenol ICC 66245-214 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 66245-214 is a 14-position rectangular receptacle connector with IDC (Insulation Displacement Contact) termination for ribbon cable applications. This connector features gold-plated contacts rated for 28-30 AWG wire gauges and is designed for free-hanging, in-line mounting configurations. The product is classified as obsolete, making identification of compatible substitute parts essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations where equivalent functionality is required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 66245-214 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Configuration: 14-position receptacle with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, 2-row arrangement
• Termination Method: IDC (Insulation Displacement Contact) for ribbon cable
• Contact Specifications: Female socket contacts with gold plating at 30.0µin thickness
• Wire Gauge Compatibility: Rated for 26-30 AWG wire gauges (allowing overlap with substitute specifications)
• Mounting Style: Free-hanging, in-line configuration
• Polarization: Polarizing key feature for keyed mating

The 3M 89114-0101 qualifies as a substitute based on matching connector type, position count, pitch, row configuration, IDC termination, contact type, gold finish thickness, and mounting style. Wire gauge specification (26-28 AWG) overlaps with the original part's 28-30 AWG range, providing compatibility for the common 28 AWG specification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 3M 89114-0101 serves as the primary substitute for the obsolete Amphenol ICC 66245-214. Selection should be based on the following factors:

Product Status: The 89114-0101 maintains active product status with ongoing manufacturer support, whereas the 66245-214 is obsolete and subject to inventory depletion.

Regulatory Compliance: The 89114-0101 is ROHS3 compliant, meeting current environmental regulations. The original 66245-214 is RoHS non-compliant, which may present procurement or deployment restrictions depending on application jurisdiction and customer requirements.

Wire Gauge Specification: The 89114-0101 is rated for 26-28 AWG wire, which overlaps with the 66245-214's 28-30 AWG specification at the 28 AWG common point. Applications using 28 AWG ribbon cable are directly compatible. Applications requiring 29-30 AWG wire must evaluate whether the 26-28 AWG specification of the substitute meets performance requirements.

Connector Features: The 89114-0101 features feed-through design compared to the closed-end design of the 66245-214. Both maintain polarizing key functionality for keyed mating. The feed-through feature does not preclude substitution but should be noted for mechanical integration considerations.

Contact Specifications: Both connectors maintain identical gold contact finish thickness (30.0µin), ensuring equivalent electrical performance characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 3M 89114-0101 directly replace the Amphenol ICC 66245-214 in existing applications?

A: The 89114-0101 is mechanically and electrically compatible for applications using 28 AWG ribbon cable. Both connectors share identical pitch (0.100"), position count (14), row configuration (2), contact type (female socket), and contact finish specifications. Applications using 29-30 AWG wire must evaluate compatibility with the substitute's 26-28 AWG specification.

Q: What is the difference between "closed end" and "feed through" connector designs?

A: The 66245-214 features a closed-end design where the connector body terminates at the contact interface. The 89114-0101 features a feed-through design where the connector body extends through the contact interface. This difference affects mechanical mounting and cable routing but does not impact electrical performance or mating compatibility.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these connectors?

A: The 89114-0101 is ROHS3 compliant, meeting current environmental regulations for restricted substances. The 66245-214 is RoHS non-compliant. Applications subject to RoHS requirements must use the 89114-0101 or equivalent compliant substitute.

Q: What wire gauge should be used with the 89114-0101 substitute?

A: The 89114-0101 is rated for 26-28 AWG ribbon cable. The original 66245-214 is rated for 28-30 AWG. The 28 AWG specification is common to both connectors and represents the optimal wire gauge for substitution applications.

Q: Are the contact finish specifications identical between these connectors?

A: Both connectors feature gold-plated contacts with 30.0µin (0.76µm) finish thickness, ensuring equivalent electrical performance and contact resistance characteristics.
