Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the Amphenol ICC 66429-031 are qualified based on the following critical parameters that define functional and mechanical compatibility:

Electrical Parameters:

• Connector type (Header)
• Contact type (Male Pin)
• Number of positions (34)
• Number of rows (2)
• Pitch - mating (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Row spacing - mating (0.100" / 2.54mm)

Mechanical Parameters:

• Mounting type (Through Hole, Right Angle)
• Shrouding configuration (Shrouded - 4 Wall)
• Termination method (Solder)
• Fastening type (Push-Pull)
• Material flammability rating (UL94 V-0)
• Moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1)

Qualified Substitute: TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 102160-8 meets all critical electrical and mechanical parameters, maintaining full functional equivalence for board-to-cable/wire applications requiring 34-position, 2.54mm pitch rectangular connectors with right-angle through-hole mounting and push-pull fastening.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Amphenol ICC 66429-031 and TE Connectivity 102160-8 are active production parts with UL94 V-0 flammability ratings and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity levels, qualifying them for equivalent use in board-to-cable/wire connector applications requiring 34-position, 2.54mm pitch rectangular headers with right-angle through-hole mounting.

The TE Connectivity 102160-8 provides specified operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 105°C), current rating (1A per contact), and voltage rating (250VAC), offering defined electrical performance parameters. The Amphenol ICC 66429-031 maintains equivalent mechanical and electrical compatibility within the critical substitution parameters.

Selection between these parts should be based on inventory availability, supply chain requirements, and application-specific performance needs within the specified operating conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 102160-8 be used as a direct replacement for the Amphenol ICC 66429-031?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical critical parameters: 34-position, 2-row configuration at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, right-angle through-hole mounting, shrouded 4-wall design, solder termination, and push-pull fastening. Both meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity specifications.

Q: What are the differences between these two connectors?

A: Differences exist in contact geometry (circular vs. square), contact material (phosphor bronze alloy vs. brass), contact finish (gold/GXT™ vs. gold/gold-palladium), insulation height (0.681" vs. 0.315"), and insulation color (blue vs. black). The TE Connectivity part provides specified operating temperature, current, and voltage ratings, while the Amphenol part does not specify these parameters.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: Yes. The Amphenol ICC 66429-031 is supplied in Tray packaging, while the TE Connectivity 102160-8 is supplied in Bulk packaging. This affects handling, storage, and integration into assembly processes but does not impact electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Do both parts have the same RoHS compliance status?

A: No. The Amphenol ICC 66429-031 is RoHS non-compliant. The TE Connectivity 102160-8 has RoHS status listed as "Not applicable" and is REACH Affected. Compliance requirements should be verified against specific application and regulatory standards.

Q: Can these connectors be used interchangeably in existing designs?

A: Mechanical and electrical interchangeability is confirmed for the critical connector parameters. However, physical differences in insulation height, contact shape, and contact material may require verification of PCB layout, mating connector compatibility, and performance requirements specific to the application.
