Amphenol ICC 68015-116 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 68015-116 is a rectangular connector header featuring a right-angle, through-hole design with 16 positions at 2.54mm pitch. This BERGSTIK® II series connector is classified as Active and serves board-to-board applications requiring male pin headers with solder termination and push-pull fastening. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters align with the main part's specifications, enabling component interchangeability in applications where position count flexibility or alternative compliance status is acceptable.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Amphenol ICC 68015-116 is determined by alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm) — must match exactly for mechanical compatibility
• Connector Type: Header with male pin contacts — required for board-to-board interface
• Mounting Type: Through Hole, Right Angle — physical form factor requirement
• Termination: Solder — assembly process compatibility
• Fastening Type: Push-Pull — mating mechanism requirement
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0 — safety compliance baseline
• Contact Finish - Mating: Gold — electrical performance and corrosion resistance

The substitute part TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 9-103765-0 meets these core substitution criteria. While it differs in position count (40 vs. 16), series designation (AMPMODU Mod II vs. BERGSTIK® II), and compliance status (RoHS Compliant vs. RoHS non-compliant), the fundamental electrical and mechanical parameters align, permitting substitution in applications where the higher position count and improved compliance profile are acceptable.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Amphenol ICC 68015-116 and TE Connectivity 9-103765-0 maintain Active product status, ensuring ongoing manufacturer support and availability. The primary distinction lies in regulatory compliance: the TE Connectivity part is RoHS Compliant, while the Amphenol ICC part is RoHS non-compliant. Selection between these parts should be driven by application-specific compliance requirements and position count needs. The TE Connectivity 9-103765-0 offers enhanced environmental compliance and a defined operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 105°C) with specified current rating (3A), making it suitable for applications requiring regulatory documentation and thermal performance assurance. The Amphenol ICC 68015-116 remains appropriate for applications where RoHS non-compliance is acceptable and the 16-position configuration is sufficient.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 9-103765-0 directly replace the Amphenol ICC 68015-116 in existing designs?

A: Direct replacement is mechanically and electrically feasible due to matching pitch (2.54mm), contact geometry, mounting type (through-hole right-angle), and termination method (solder). However, the 40-position configuration of the TE part exceeds the 16-position requirement of the original design. Breakaway capability of the TE part allows segmentation to 16 positions if required, though this requires mechanical modification and is not a standard substitution practice.

Q: What are the key compatibility factors between these two parts?

A: Critical compatibility factors include: 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch, male pin header configuration, through-hole right-angle mounting, solder termination, push-pull fastening mechanism, square contact shape, and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. Both parts maintain these specifications, ensuring functional interchangeability in board-to-board applications.

Q: Does the RoHS compliance difference affect electrical performance?

A: RoHS compliance status reflects manufacturing process and material sourcing restrictions but does not inherently alter electrical performance. Both parts meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and maintain equivalent contact finish specifications (30.0µin gold plating). Selection should be based on regulatory requirements applicable to the end application.

Q: Are there packaging or inventory considerations for these parts?

A: The Amphenol ICC 68015-116 is available in bulk packaging with 945 pieces in stock. The TE Connectivity 9-103765-0 is also available in bulk packaging with 2675 pieces in stock. Both parts carry Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating no special storage or handling requirements.

Q: What is the significance of the breakaway feature on the TE Connectivity part?

A: The breakaway feature on the TE Connectivity 9-103765-0 allows individual connector segments to be separated from the 40-position header. This design flexibility enables use in applications requiring fewer positions without requiring a separate part number. However, standard substitution practice assumes use of the complete 40-position configuration.
