Amphenol ICC 69830-008 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 69830-008 is an 8-position ribbon cable DIP header connector designed for through-hole mounting applications. This connector features IDC (Insulation Displacement Contact) termination for 26-28 AWG stranded or solid wire, with a 0.050" cable pitch and 0.100" board-side pitch configuration. The part is classified as obsolete, which necessitates identification of active equivalent alternatives to maintain supply chain continuity for existing designs and legacy system support.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The 69830-008LF qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical electrical and mechanical parameters. Substitution eligibility is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector type and form factor (Ribbon Cable, DIP Header)
• Position count (8 positions)
• Cable pitch (0.050" / 1.27mm)
• Board-side pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Row configuration (2 rows at 0.100" spacing)
• Mounting method (Through Hole)
• Termination technology (IDC)
• Wire gauge compatibility (26-28 AWG)
• Feed-through feature presence

The 69830-008LF maintains all these parameters identically to the main part, establishing full mechanical and electrical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 69830-008LF is the direct active equivalent for the obsolete 69830-008. Selection between these parts is determined by regulatory and compliance requirements:

69830-008LF is required for:

• New designs subject to RoHS compliance mandates
• Applications requiring REACH compliance documentation
• Supply chain strategies prioritizing active, in-production components
• Long-term availability assurance

69830-008 remains applicable for:

• Legacy system repairs where RoHS non-compliance is not a constraint
• Existing inventory utilization in non-regulated applications
• Designs where tin-lead contact finish is specifically required

Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The primary differentiators are product status, RoHS compliance, contact finish composition (tin-lead versus tin), and supply availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 69830-008 and 69830-008LF mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mechanical specifications including 8-position configuration, 0.050" cable pitch, 0.100" board-side pitch, 2-row layout, through-hole mounting, and feed-through design. PCB footprints and cable assemblies are directly compatible.

Q: What is the difference between the contact finishes?

A: The 69830-008 uses tin-lead plating while the 69830-008LF uses tin plating. Both maintain 150.0µin (3.81µm) thickness. The tin finish in the 69830-008LF aligns with RoHS compliance requirements.

Q: Why is the 69830-008 classified as obsolete?

A: Obsolescence reflects the manufacturer's discontinuation of this part number in favor of the RoHS-compliant 69830-008LF variant, which is the active production equivalent.

Q: Can the 69830-008LF be used as a direct replacement in existing designs?

A: Yes, for all electrical and mechanical applications. Designs requiring RoHS compliance must transition to the 69830-008LF. Existing designs without RoHS constraints may continue using either part based on inventory and supply considerations.

Q: What wire gauges are compatible with both connectors?

A: Both connectors accept 26-28 AWG wire in stranded or solid configuration through IDC termination.

Q: Is packaging a consideration for substitution?

A: Packaging differences (unspecified for 69830-008 versus tube for 69830-008LF) do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. Packaging selection depends on handling, storage, and assembly process requirements.
