Amphenol ICC 69273-102 Rectangular Connector Header - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 69273-102 is a shrouded rectangular connector header designed for through-hole, right-angle board-to-cable/wire applications. This 4-position connector operates at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch and features a latch holder fastening mechanism with board guide and ground pin functionality. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of active equivalent components essential for ongoing design support and procurement.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 69273-102 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Series: Header connector within the LATCH-N-LOK™ series
• Position Count & Pitch: 4-position configuration at 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch
• Mounting & Orientation: Through-hole, right-angle mounting with board-to-cable/wire style
• Shrouding & Fastening: Shrouded 4-wall design with latch holder mechanism
• Contact Configuration: Male pin contacts with gold or gold GXT™ finish
• Termination Method: Solder termination with board guide and ground pin features
• Material & Flammability: Thermoplastic insulation rated UL94 V-0

The substitute part 69273-102LF maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications while differing in product status (active vs. obsolete) and regulatory compliance (RoHS compliant vs. non-compliant).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 69273-102LF serves as the direct active equivalent to the obsolete 69273-102. Selection between these parts is determined by regulatory and procurement requirements:

Use 69273-102LF when:

• RoHS compliance is required for new designs or procurement
• Active product status and ongoing manufacturer support are necessary
• Operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C), current rating (2.5A), and voltage rating (250VDC) specifications are acceptable
• Tray packaging meets assembly and inventory requirements

Use 69273-102 only when:

• Existing inventory of the obsolete part is available and acceptable
• RoHS non-compliance does not conflict with application or regulatory requirements
• No alternative sourcing is available

Both parts maintain identical mechanical and electrical interface characteristics, ensuring direct substitution in board-level applications without design modification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 69273-102LF be used as a direct replacement for 69273-102?

A: Yes. The 69273-102LF maintains identical connector type, position count, pitch, mounting style, shrouding, termination method, and contact specifications. The primary differences are product status (active vs. obsolete) and RoHS compliance.

Q: What is the difference between the two part numbers?

A: The "LF" suffix in 69273-102LF indicates a lead-free, RoHS-compliant variant. The main part 69273-102 is RoHS non-compliant and classified as obsolete. Both parts share the same LATCH-N-LOK™ series designation and mechanical interface.

Q: Are the electrical ratings identical?

A: The 69273-102LF provides specified electrical ratings: 2.5A current capacity and 250VDC voltage rating. The original 69273-102 does not include published electrical ratings in the available documentation. Both parts are rated UL94 V-0 for material flammability.

Q: Does packaging differ between these parts?

A: Yes. The 69273-102LF is supplied in tray packaging, while the original 69273-102 packaging is not specified. Verify tray packaging compatibility with your assembly process requirements.

Q: Are there any thermal or environmental differences?

A: The 69273-102LF specifies an operating temperature range of -40°C ~ 85°C. The original 69273-102 does not include published operating temperature specifications. Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating.

Q: Can I use the 69273-102 in new designs?

A: The 69273-102 is classified as obsolete. For new designs, use the active 69273-102LF equivalent to ensure long-term availability, manufacturer support, and regulatory compliance.
