Amphenol ICC 66564-916 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 66564-916 is a 16-position rectangular receptacle connector with IDC (Insulation Displacement Contact) termination and gold plating. This connector is designed for ribbon cable applications with dual-row configuration and 0.100" pitch spacing. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of active equivalent components essential for ongoing system support and new design implementations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 66564-916 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Receptacle) and contact type (Female Socket) must remain identical
• Position count (16) and pitch spacing (0.100"/2.54mm) must be preserved
• Dual-row configuration with 0.100" row spacing is mandatory
• IDC cable termination method must be maintained
• Ribbon cable compatibility is required
• Gold contact finish specification must be met

The primary substitute, Amphenol ICC 66900-016LF, maintains all these parameters while providing an active product status and RoHS compliance. The 66900-016LF specifies 28-30 AWG wire gauge compatibility, which represents a defined operational range for the IDC termination system.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 66564-916 is obsolete and no longer manufactured. The Amphenol ICC 66900-016LF is the direct functional equivalent and is the recommended substitute for all applications requiring a 16-position IDC rectangular receptacle connector with the specified parameters.

The 66900-016LF provides additional advantages over the original part: it maintains active product status with current manufacturing support, achieves RoHS compliance, and includes explicit wire gauge specification (28-30 AWG) for ribbon cable termination. The identical contact finish, pitch, row configuration, and mounting characteristics ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility with existing connector plugs and cable assemblies designed for the 66564-916.

For applications where RoHS compliance is not a requirement, the 66564-916 remains functionally equivalent to the 66900-016LF; however, procurement of the obsolete part is subject to availability constraints and supply chain limitations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 66900-016LF be used as a direct replacement for the 66564-916?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical electrical and mechanical specifications: 16 positions, 0.100" pitch, dual-row configuration, IDC termination, and gold contact finish. The 66900-016LF is the active equivalent and is fully compatible with existing cable assemblies and mating connectors designed for the 66564-916.

Q: What is the significance of the 28-30 AWG specification on the 66900-016LF?

A: The 28-30 AWG specification defines the ribbon cable wire gauge range for which the IDC termination system is rated. This specification ensures proper contact force and electrical performance when terminating ribbon cables within this gauge range.

Q: Why is the 66564-916 listed as obsolete?

A: The 66564-916 has been discontinued by Amphenol ICC. The 66900-016LF represents the current active product offering with equivalent functionality and improved compliance characteristics.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 66564-916 packaging information is not specified in available data. The 66900-016LF is supplied in tube packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement specifications.

Q: Does the RoHS compliance difference affect compatibility?

A: No. RoHS compliance is a regulatory and supply chain consideration, not a functional parameter. Both connectors are electrically and mechanically compatible. The 66900-016LF's RoHS compliance may be required for certain applications or markets.

Q: Can the 66900-016LF be used in new designs?

A: Yes. The 66900-016LF is an active product with current manufacturing support and is suitable for new design implementations requiring 16-position IDC rectangular receptacle connectors with the specified parameters.
