Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Amphenol ICC 66952-012 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Receptacle with female socket contacts
• Position Count & Arrangement: 24 positions in 2 rows
• Pitch Specifications: 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch and row spacing
• Mounting & Termination: Through-hole solder termination
• Fastening Mechanism: Push-pull fastening system
• Mating Contact Finish: Gold plating on mating surfaces
• Insulation Material & Color: Polyester glass-filled black insulation
• Contact Geometry: Square contact shape

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors part number 1-534206-2 meets all these critical substitution criteria. Both connectors are rectangular receptacles with identical position counts, pitch, row spacing, mounting type, and fastening mechanisms. Both feature gold-plated mating contacts and polyester glass-filled black insulation with square contact geometry.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity 1-534206-2 is the primary substitute for the obsolete Amphenol ICC 66952-012. Both connectors share identical functional specifications across all critical substitution parameters: 24-position receptacle configuration, 0.100" pitch, 2-row arrangement, through-hole solder termination, push-pull fastening, and gold-plated mating contacts with polyester glass-filled black insulation.

The TE Connectivity part carries Active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and manufacturing support. Both connectors maintain identical RoHS non-compliance status and MSL rating, with matching ECCN and HTSUS classifications for regulatory and trade purposes.

Minor dimensional variations exist in contact post length (0.142" versus 0.115") and mating contact finish thickness (15.0µin versus 30.0µin), with the TE Connectivity part providing thicker gold plating. Contact material differs (brass versus phosphor bronze), though both materials are suitable for the specified application. These variations do not affect functional compatibility for board-to-board interconnection in standard through-hole solder applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 1-534206-2 directly replace the Amphenol ICC 66952-012 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors meet identical specifications for position count, pitch, row spacing, mounting type, termination method, and fastening mechanism. The connectors are mechanically and electrically compatible for board-to-board applications.

Q: What is the significance of the contact post length difference between these connectors?

A: The Amphenol ICC 66952-012 has a contact post length of 0.142" (3.60mm), while the TE Connectivity 1-534206-2 has 0.115" (2.92mm). This difference affects solder joint formation and PCB stack-up considerations. Verify that your PCB design accommodates the shorter post length of the substitute part.

Q: Why does the TE Connectivity part have thicker gold plating on the mating contacts?

A: The TE Connectivity 1-534206-2 provides 30.0µin (0.76µm) of gold plating compared to 15.0µin (0.38µm) on the Amphenol ICC part. Thicker plating enhances contact durability and wear resistance, particularly in applications with frequent mating cycles.

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

A: The Amphenol ICC 66952-012 uses brass contacts, while the TE Connectivity 1-534206-2 uses phosphor bronze contacts. Both materials provide suitable electrical conductivity and mechanical properties for this connector class. Phosphor bronze offers enhanced spring characteristics and fatigue resistance.

Q: What is the packaging format for the TE Connectivity substitute?

A: The TE Connectivity 1-534206-2 is supplied in tube packaging, suitable for automated assembly processes and component handling.

Q: Are both connectors compliant with RoHS regulations?

A: No. Both the Amphenol ICC 66952-012 and TE Connectivity 1-534206-2 are RoHS non-compliant. If RoHS compliance is required for your application, alternative connector solutions must be evaluated.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for the TE Connectivity substitute?

A: The TE Connectivity 1-534206-2 operates across -65°C to 125°C. The Amphenol ICC 66952-012 operating temperature specification was not provided in the available data.
