Equivalent & Substitute Parts for Amphenol ICC 67683-030

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 67683-030 is a 60-position receptacle connector with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, designed for board-to-board applications with through-hole, right-angle mounting and solder termination. This connector features gold-plated mating contacts and is classified as obsolete. Due to its obsolete status and limited long-term availability, identifying active equivalent parts is essential for design continuity and procurement reliability.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Amphenol ICC 67683-030 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Receptacle) and contact type (Female Socket)
• Position count (60 positions) and row configuration (2 rows)
• Pitch specifications (0.100" mating pitch and 0.100" row spacing)
• Mounting configuration (Through Hole, Right Angle)
• Termination method (Solder)
• Fastening mechanism (Push-Pull)
• Contact finish at mating interface (Gold plating at 15.0µin thickness)
• Insulation color (Black)
• Contact geometry (Square shape)

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 532955-9 meets all these critical parameters and qualifies as a direct substitute. Minor variations in contact material composition and post-side finish do not affect functional compatibility in board-to-board applications where the mating interface is the primary electrical path.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 532955-9 is the qualified substitute for the obsolete Amphenol ICC 67683-030. Selection is based on the following engineering criteria:

Product Status: The 67683-030 is classified as obsolete, creating supply chain risk. The 532955-9 maintains active product status with documented availability (1076 pcs in stock), ensuring long-term procurement viability.

Electrical and Mechanical Compatibility: All critical mating interface parameters are identical, including position count, pitch, row spacing, contact finish specification, and fastening mechanism. The connectors are mechanically and electrically interchangeable in board-to-board applications.

Compliance Alignment: Both parts share identical RoHS non-compliance status and MSL rating, ensuring consistent handling and storage requirements across supply chains.

Minor Variations: The TE Connectivity part includes guide pin ears as a design feature and uses phosphor bronze contact material with tin post finish. These variations do not affect functional compatibility with standard 0.100" pitch header pins or receptacle mates.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 532955-9 directly replace the Amphenol ICC 67683-030 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 532955-9 is mechanically and electrically compatible. All critical mating parameters—position count, pitch, row spacing, contact finish, and mounting configuration—are identical. No PCB redesign is required.

Q: What is the significance of the insulation height difference (0.240" vs. 0.238")?

A: The 0.002" (0.05mm) difference is within normal manufacturing tolerance and does not affect functional performance or mechanical fit in standard board-to-board applications.

Q: Does the contact material difference (Brass vs. Phosphor Bronze) affect compatibility?

A: No. Both materials are suitable for 0.100" pitch connectors. The contact material affects mechanical durability and wear characteristics, not electrical compatibility with standard mating contacts.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between these parts?

A: Both parts are RoHS non-compliant and carry identical MSL ratings. No compliance advantage exists between the two parts. Compliance requirements should be evaluated at the system level.

Q: What does the "Guide Pin Ears" feature on the 532955-9 provide?

A: Guide pin ears improve mechanical alignment during mating and reduce insertion force variability. This is a design enhancement that does not affect electrical performance or backward compatibility.

Q: Is the tin post finish on the 532955-9 compatible with standard solder processes?

A: Yes. Tin finish is standard for solder termination and is fully compatible with wave soldering, reflow, and hand soldering processes used for through-hole connectors.
