Amphenol ICC 66900-330 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 66900-330 is a 30-position rectangular receptacle connector from the Quickie™ series, designed for IDC (Insulation Displacement Contact) termination with ribbon cable. This connector features female sockets with gold-plated contacts and is configured for free-hanging, in-line mounting applications. The part is currently active in production with 740 units in stock.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent rectangular receptacle connectors share the same critical electrical and mechanical parameters: 30-position configuration, 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, 2-row layout with 0.100" row spacing, IDC cable termination, and gold contact finish. Alternative sources become necessary for supply chain continuity, inventory availability, or when RoHS3 compliance is required for specific applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 66900-330 are qualified based on the following critical parameters that must match or be compatible:

• Connector Configuration: 30-position receptacle with 2-row layout
• Contact Pitch and Spacing: 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch and row spacing for mechanical and electrical compatibility
• Termination Method: IDC technology for ribbon cable attachment
• Contact Material and Finish: Gold plating for electrical performance and corrosion resistance
• Mounting Style: Free-hanging, in-line orientation
• Functional Features: Feed-through capability and polarizing key for correct orientation

The identified substitutes—TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 1658622-7 and 3M 89130-0101—meet these core requirements. Wire gauge compatibility ranges from 26-30 AWG across the product family, with the main part specified for 28-30 AWG and substitutes rated for 26-28 AWG, both suitable for standard ribbon cable applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Amphenol ICC 66900-330: Select this part for applications where RoHS non-compliance is acceptable and Amphenol ICC supply chain preference is established. Current inventory of 740 units supports immediate availability.

TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 1658622-7: This substitute is recommended for applications requiring ROHS3 compliance. The AMP-Latch series offers forked contact geometry and gold or gold-palladium finish options. Wire gauge specification of 26-28 AWG accommodates standard ribbon cable applications. Inventory of 1078 units provides supply security.

3M 89130-0101: This substitute is recommended for applications requiring ROHS3 compliance with the highest current inventory availability (19,588 units). The 891 series provides female socket contacts with gold finish and REACH Unaffected status. Wire gauge specification of 26-28 AWG is compatible with ribbon cable termination. This option offers maximum supply chain redundancy.

All three connectors maintain identical pitch, row spacing, position count, and IDC termination methodology, ensuring mechanical and electrical interchangeability within the specified wire gauge ranges.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 1658622-7 directly replace the Amphenol ICC 66900-330?

A: Yes, within wire gauge compatibility. The TE Connectivity part maintains the same 30-position, 0.100" pitch configuration, 2-row layout, and IDC termination. The forked contact type and 26-28 AWG specification are compatible with standard ribbon cable applications. The primary difference is ROHS3 compliance status and contact geometry.

Q: What is the wire gauge compatibility between these parts?

A: The Amphenol ICC 66900-330 is specified for 28-30 AWG ribbon cable. Both substitute parts (TE Connectivity and 3M) are specified for 26-28 AWG. The overlapping range of 26-28 AWG ensures compatibility across all three connectors for standard ribbon cable applications.

Q: Are there differences in contact finish between these connectors?

A: All three connectors feature gold contact finish with 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness. The TE Connectivity 1658622-7 offers an alternative gold-palladium finish option. Contact finish thickness is identical across all parts, ensuring equivalent electrical performance.

Q: What is the significance of the contact type differences (Female Socket vs. Forked)?

A: Both contact types are designed for IDC termination with ribbon cable. Female socket contacts (Amphenol ICC and 3M) and forked contacts (TE Connectivity) provide equivalent electrical and mechanical function within the IDC connector family. Selection depends on mating connector compatibility in the specific application.

Q: Which substitute part offers the best supply chain availability?

A: The 3M 89130-0101 provides the highest inventory level at 19,588 units, followed by TE Connectivity 1658622-7 at 1078 units. Both offer ROHS3 compliance and active product status for long-term supply security.

Q: Are all three connectors suitable for feed-through applications?

A: Yes. All three connectors feature feed-through capability and polarizing key design, supporting identical mounting and orientation requirements for in-line, free-hanging applications.
