Amphenol ICC 66429-039 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 66429-039 is a rectangular connector header designed for through-hole, right-angle mounting applications. This 40-position connector operates at a 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch and features shrouded 4-wall construction with push-pull fastening. The part is currently active in production and widely used in board-to-cable/wire interconnect applications. Substitute parts may be required due to inventory availability, supply chain considerations, or specific application requirements that align with equivalent electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Amphenol ICC 66429-039 is determined by strict equivalence in the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Contact Type: Header with Male Pin contacts
• Position Count & Row Configuration: 40 positions in 2 rows
• Pitch Specification: 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch and row spacing
• Mounting & Termination: Through-hole, right-angle mounting with solder termination
• Shrouding Configuration: Shrouded 4-wall design
• Fastening Mechanism: Push-Pull fastening type
• Flammability Compliance: UL94 V-0 rating

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors part number 102159-9 meets all these critical substitution criteria. Both connectors share identical functional specifications for position count, pitch, mounting orientation, and termination method, making them electrically and mechanically compatible for equivalent applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Amphenol ICC 66429-039 and TE Connectivity 102159-9 are active production parts with UL94 V-0 flammability compliance. Selection between these connectors should be based on the following factors:

Amphenol ICC 66429-039 is the primary specification. Use this part when the original design requirements specify Amphenol ICC components or when the Quickie™ series is explicitly required.

TE Connectivity 102159-9 serves as a qualified substitute when supply constraints affect the primary part. This connector maintains functional equivalence across all critical parameters: 40-position, 2-row configuration; 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch; through-hole right-angle mounting; solder termination; and push-pull fastening. The TE Connectivity part provides additional specification data including operating temperature range (-65°C to 105°C), current rating (1A per contact), and voltage rating (250VAC), which may be beneficial for design documentation.

Minor physical variations exist in contact length, insulation height, contact shape, and contact material. These variations do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility for standard board-to-cable/wire interconnect applications where the connectors mate with corresponding receptacles designed for 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch headers.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TE Connectivity 102159-9 be used as a direct replacement for Amphenol ICC 66429-039?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical specifications for the critical parameters that determine substitution: 40 positions, 2 rows, 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, through-hole right-angle mounting, solder termination, shrouded 4-wall design, and push-pull fastening. The connectors are mechanically and electrically compatible for equivalent applications.

Q: What are the differences between these two connectors?

A: The primary differences are in contact geometry and material composition. The Amphenol ICC 66429-039 features circular phosphor bronze contacts with gold finish, while the TE Connectivity 102159-9 uses square brass contacts with gold or gold-palladium finish. Insulation height also differs: 0.681" (17.30mm) for Amphenol versus 0.315" (8.00mm) for TE Connectivity. These variations do not affect compatibility with standard 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch mating connectors.

Q: Are there any packaging differences?

A: Yes. The Amphenol ICC 66429-039 is supplied in Tray packaging, while the TE Connectivity 102159-9 is supplied in Bulk packaging. Packaging format may affect handling, storage, and integration into assembly processes but does not affect the connector's electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: Which connector should I specify for new designs?

A: Specify the Amphenol ICC 66429-039 as the primary part number. If supply constraints occur, the TE Connectivity 102159-9 is a qualified substitute that maintains full functional equivalence. Both parts are active in production and carry UL94 V-0 flammability compliance.

Q: Do these connectors require any special handling or storage considerations?

A: Both connectors carry Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) 1, indicating unlimited shelf life without special moisture control measures. Standard component storage practices apply.
