Amphenol ICC 66952-012LF Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 66952-012LF is a 24-position rectangular receptacle connector with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, designed for board-to-board applications using through-hole solder termination. This connector features gold-plated mating contacts and push-pull fastening. The product is currently obsolete, making identification of compatible substitute parts essential for ongoing system support and component procurement.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 1-534236-2 qualifies as a direct substitute for the Amphenol ICC 66952-012LF based on the following critical parameters:

• 24-position receptacle configuration with identical pin count
• 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch and row spacing
• Board-to-board style with through-hole solder termination
• Push-pull fastening mechanism
• Gold-plated mating contacts
• Square contact geometry
• Polyester, glass-filled insulation material
• Black insulation color

Both connectors share the same mechanical footprint and electrical interface requirements, enabling direct substitution in applications where the main part is no longer available.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity 1-534236-2 is the direct functional equivalent for the obsolete Amphenol ICC 66952-012LF. Both connectors meet identical mechanical and electrical interface requirements for board-to-board applications.

Key considerations for selection:

• The TE Connectivity substitute is in active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.
• The substitute features increased gold plating thickness (30.0µin versus 15.0µin), providing enhanced contact durability and wear resistance.
• Insulation height differs by 0.015" (0.39mm), which may require PCB layout verification in space-constrained applications.
• Contact material differs (phosphor bronze versus brass), with phosphor bronze offering improved spring characteristics and contact reliability.
• RoHS compliance status differs; the original part is RoHS compliant while the substitute is RoHS non-compliant. Environmental and regulatory requirements must be evaluated for the target application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 1-534236-2 directly replace the Amphenol ICC 66952-012LF?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mating pitch (0.100"), position count (24), row configuration (2 rows), mounting type (through-hole), and fastening mechanism (push-pull). The mechanical footprint and electrical interface are compatible.

Q: What are the differences between these connectors?

A: The primary differences are contact material (brass versus phosphor bronze), gold plating thickness (15.0µin versus 30.0µin), insulation height (0.325" versus 0.340"), and product status (obsolete versus active). The TE Connectivity part offers improved contact durability through thicker gold plating and superior spring characteristics via phosphor bronze contacts.

Q: Does the difference in insulation height affect compatibility?

A: The 0.015" (0.39mm) height difference is minor but should be verified against PCB layout constraints, particularly in applications with limited vertical clearance or stacked connector arrangements.

Q: What is the impact of different RoHS compliance status?

A: The original Amphenol part is RoHS compliant while the TE Connectivity substitute is RoHS non-compliant. Applications subject to RoHS regulations or customer requirements must evaluate this difference before substitution.

Q: Are both connectors available in the same packaging?

A: The Amphenol part is supplied without specified packaging, while the TE Connectivity substitute is packaged in tubes. Verify packaging requirements for your procurement and assembly processes.
