Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 66900-360 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector configuration: 60-position receptacle with 2 rows at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch and row spacing
• Termination method: IDC cable termination for ribbon cable compatibility
• Contact type: Female sockets with gold plating
• Mounting style: Free hanging, in-line configuration
• Functional features: Feed through and polarizing key capability

The 3M 89160-0101 qualifies as a substitute based on matching these core parameters. Wire gauge compatibility is maintained within acceptable ranges for IDC termination (28-30 AWG for the main part versus 26-28 AWG for the substitute), as both fall within standard ribbon cable specifications for this connector class.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Amphenol ICC 66900-360 and 3M 89160-0101 are active production connectors suitable for 60-position IDC ribbon cable applications. Selection between these parts should be based on the following criteria:

Amphenol ICC 66900-360 is appropriate when RoHS non-compliant components are acceptable for the application and when wire gauge specification of 28-30 AWG is required.

3M 89160-0101 is the preferred selection for applications requiring ROHS3 compliance. This substitute maintains full mechanical and electrical compatibility while meeting enhanced environmental and regulatory standards. The wire gauge specification of 26-28 AWG is compatible with standard IDC termination practices for this connector class.

Both parts share identical contact finish specifications, MSL ratings, and functional features, ensuring direct substitution capability in equivalent circuit applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 3M 89160-0101 directly replace the Amphenol ICC 66900-360 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical pitch (0.100"), row configuration (2 rows), position count (60), and IDC termination method. Mechanical and electrical compatibility is maintained for ribbon cable applications.

Q: What is the difference in wire gauge between these connectors?

A: The Amphenol ICC 66900-360 specifies 28-30 AWG, while the 3M 89160-0101 specifies 26-28 AWG. Both ranges are standard for IDC ribbon cable termination in this connector class and are compatible with typical ribbon cable gauges used in these applications.

Q: Does the 3M 89160-0101 offer any compliance advantages?

A: Yes. The 3M 89160-0101 is ROHS3 compliant, whereas the Amphenol ICC 66900-360 is RoHS non-compliant. If your application or market requires RoHS compliance, the 3M part is the appropriate selection.

Q: Are the contact finishes equivalent?

A: Yes. Both connectors feature gold-plated contacts with identical finish thickness of 30.0µin (0.76µm), ensuring equivalent electrical performance and reliability.

Q: What is the packaging difference between these parts?

A: The Amphenol ICC 66900-360 is supplied in tube packaging, while the 3M 89160-0101 is supplied in bulk packaging. This affects handling and storage but does not impact functional compatibility.

Q: Are both connectors suitable for feed-through applications?

A: Yes. Both connectors include feed-through and polarizing key features, supporting equivalent application requirements.
