Amphenol ICC 66432-160 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 66432-160 is a 60-position rectangular receptacle connector from the Quickie™ series, designed for IDC (Insulation Displacement Contact) termination with ribbon cable. This connector features a 0.100" pitch, dual-row configuration, and gold-plated contacts suitable for 28-30 AWG wire gauges. The product is currently active in production. Substitute parts are identified to address inventory availability, packaging preferences, or compliance requirements while maintaining functional compatibility within the specified electrical and mechanical parameters.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The 3M 89160-0103 is identified as a manufacturer-recommended substitute for the Amphenol ICC 66432-160 based on the following critical parameters:

• Connector Configuration: Both parts are 60-position rectangular receptacles with identical 0.100" pitch and dual-row layout
• Termination Method: Both utilize IDC termination for ribbon cable
• Contact System: Both feature gold-plated female socket contacts with 30.0µin finish thickness
• Mechanical Compatibility: Both provide feed-through, polarizing key, and strain relief features with identical mounting type
• Environmental Rating: Both are rated MSL 1 (Unlimited moisture sensitivity)

The primary difference is wire gauge compatibility: the main part accommodates 28-30 AWG, while the substitute supports 26-28 AWG. This overlap at 28 AWG permits substitution within applications using 28 AWG ribbon cable.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Amphenol ICC 66432-160: Select this part for applications requiring 28-30 AWG ribbon cable compatibility and when RoHS non-compliant components are acceptable. This connector is actively produced and available in tube packaging.

3M 89160-0103: Select this part when ROHS3 compliance is required or when 26-28 AWG ribbon cable is specified. This substitute is actively produced, offers higher inventory availability (1599 pcs vs. 694 pcs), and is supplied in bulk packaging. The 28 AWG overlap ensures compatibility with applications using standard 28 AWG ribbon cable.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 3M 89160-0103 be used in place of the Amphenol ICC 66432-160?

A: Yes, for applications using 28 AWG ribbon cable. Both connectors share identical pitch, row configuration, contact finish thickness, and IDC termination method. The 3M part supports 26-28 AWG, creating a compatible overlap at 28 AWG.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two connectors?

A: Wire gauge range differs: Amphenol supports 28-30 AWG, while 3M supports 26-28 AWG. Additionally, the 3M part is ROHS3 compliant, whereas the Amphenol part is RoHS non-compliant.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical?

A: Yes. Both connectors have identical pitch (0.100"), row spacing (0.100"), and mounting type (Free Hanging In-Line). They are mechanically interchangeable.

Q: Does packaging type affect substitution?

A: No. The Amphenol part is supplied in tube packaging while the 3M part is supplied in bulk packaging. This is a logistics consideration only and does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Can I use the Amphenol part with 26 AWG ribbon cable?

A: No. The Amphenol ICC 66432-160 is specified for 28-30 AWG only. Using 26 AWG cable would be outside the specified wire gauge range.

Q: Which part should I select for new designs?

A: Base selection on wire gauge requirements and compliance mandates. For 28 AWG applications, either part is suitable. For ROHS3 compliance requirements, select the 3M 89160-0103. For 30 AWG applications, the Amphenol ICC 66432-160 is required.
