Amphenol ICC 69190-212 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 69190-212 is a 12-position rectangular header connector from the BERGSTIK® II series, designed for through-hole board-to-board applications with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing. This connector features male pins with gold or GXT™ contact finish and is classified as Active product status. Substitute parts are necessary to address supply chain flexibility, alternative compliance certifications, or specific contact finish requirements while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 69190-212 is determined by strict adherence to the following parameters:

Critical Parameters (Must Match):

• Connector Type: Header
• Contact Type: Male Pin
• Number of Positions: 12
• Pitch: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Number of Rows: 1
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Insulation Color: Black
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

Variable Parameters (Allowed Differences):

• Contact Finish: Gold or Tin (both acceptable for electrical compatibility)
• Contact Finish Thickness: Varies by manufacturer specification
• Termination Method: Solder (primary); Press-Fit available on main part only
• Manufacturer: Samtec Inc. substitutes for Amphenol ICC
• Packaging: Tube (substitutes) vs. Bulk (main part)
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (substitutes) vs. RoHS non-compliant (main part)

All substitute parts listed maintain mechanical and electrical compatibility through identical pitch, position count, row configuration, and mounting methodology.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Gold Contact Finish Substitutes (HTS-112-G-A, TS-112-G-AA): These Samtec parts maintain gold contact finish compatibility with the 69190-212. Both are ROHS3 compliant and provide higher contact finish thickness (20.0µin vs. 15.0µin), which may extend contact life in high-cycle mating applications. The HTS-112-G-A is designated as high-temperature rated within the HTS series. Selection between these two depends on packaging requirements (Tube for both) and specific thermal operating conditions.

Tin Contact Finish Substitutes (TS-112-T-A-1, TS-112-T-AA): These parts offer tin contact finish with significantly higher thickness (200.0µin). Tin finish provides cost reduction and is suitable for applications where gold plating is not required. Both are ROHS3 compliant. The TS-112-T-A-1 and TS-112-T-AA differ only in packaging designation but maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Compliance Consideration: All Samtec substitutes are ROHS3 compliant, whereas the 69190-212 is RoHS non-compliant. Applications subject to RoHS regulations should prioritize Samtec alternatives.

Termination Limitation: Samtec substitutes support solder termination only. Applications requiring press-fit termination must retain the 69190-212 or confirm alternative press-fit capability with the supplier.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TS-112-T-AA replace 69190-212 in all applications? A: TS-112-T-AA is mechanically and electrically compatible for through-hole solder termination applications. The primary differences are contact finish material (tin vs. gold) and RoHS compliance status. Applications requiring gold contact finish or press-fit termination should use gold-plated alternatives or the original part.

Q: What is the difference between HTS-112-G-A and TS-112-G-AA? A: Both are 12-position gold-plated headers with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The HTS series designation indicates high-temperature rating capability. Selection depends on thermal operating requirements and packaging preferences (both supplied in Tube).

Q: Are tin-plated substitutes (TS-112-T-A-1, TS-112-T-AA) suitable for high-reliability applications? A: Tin plating with 200.0µin thickness provides robust contact durability. Suitability depends on application-specific requirements for contact material and environmental conditions. Gold plating alternatives (HTS-112-G-A, TS-112-G-AA) are recommended for applications with stringent corrosion resistance requirements.

Q: Does the higher contact finish thickness on Samtec parts affect mating force? A: Contact finish thickness does not alter mating force characteristics. All substitutes maintain 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch and identical mechanical geometry, ensuring compatible mating with standard 0.100" pitch receptacles.

Q: What packaging differences exist between the main part and substitutes? A: The 69190-212 is supplied in Bulk packaging (931 pcs in stock). All Samtec substitutes are supplied in Tube packaging. Inventory levels vary: HTS-112-G-A (890 pcs), TS-112-G-AA (1659 pcs), TS-112-T-A-1 (1234 pcs), TS-112-T-AA (1118 pcs).

Q: Are all parts classified as Moisture Sensitivity Level 1? A: Yes. All parts, including the main part and all substitutes, carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.
