Amphenol ICC 69830-040 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 69830-040 is a 40-position ribbon cable DIP header connector with IDC termination, designed for through-hole mounting applications. This connector features a 0.050" (1.27mm) cable pitch and 0.100" (2.54mm) board-side pitch configuration with 2-row layout. The part is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent alternatives that maintain electrical and mechanical compatibility for ongoing production and repair applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 69830-040 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Ribbon Cable, DIP Header)
• Position count (40 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)
• Cable termination method (IDC)
• Wire gauge compatibility (26-28 AWG stranded or solid)
• Feed-through feature presence

Two substitute parts meet these criteria: the Amphenol ICC 69830-040LF (direct manufacturer variant) and the TE Connectivity 1-746610-9 (cross-manufacturer equivalent). Both maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications while differing in product status, compliance certifications, and connector color.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 69830-040LF is the primary substitute for the obsolete 69830-040. Both parts are manufactured by Amphenol ICC and share identical mechanical and electrical specifications. The 69830-040LF offers the advantage of active product status and RoHS compliance, making it suitable for new designs and applications requiring regulatory adherence. The connector color remains blue, maintaining visual consistency with original designs.

The TE Connectivity 1-746610-9 serves as a cross-manufacturer alternative when Amphenol ICC parts are unavailable. This connector maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters, including the 40-position configuration, pitch specifications, and IDC termination method. The 1-746610-9 features RoHS compliance and active product status. Notable differences include black connector color, slightly reduced contact finish thickness (100.0µin versus 150.0µin), and expanded solid wire gauge compatibility (26-30 AWG versus 26-28 AWG). These variations do not affect functional compatibility in standard applications.

Selection between the two substitutes should prioritize the 69830-040LF for direct replacement in existing assemblies. The 1-746610-9 is appropriate when color differentiation is acceptable or when Amphenol ICC availability is constrained.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 69830-040LF directly replace the obsolete 69830-040?

A: Yes. The 69830-040LF maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including 40-position configuration, 0.050" cable pitch, 0.100" board-side pitch, 2-row layout, through-hole mounting, and IDC termination. Both connectors accept 26-28 AWG stranded or solid wire. The primary difference is product status (active versus obsolete) and RoHS compliance.

Q: What are the key differences between the 69830-040LF and 1-746610-9?

A: Both substitutes maintain identical position count, pitch specifications, row configuration, mounting type, and cable termination method. Differences include manufacturer (Amphenol ICC versus TE Connectivity), connector color (blue versus black), contact finish thickness (150.0µin versus 100.0µin), and solid wire gauge range (26-28 AWG versus 26-30 AWG). These variations do not affect functional compatibility.

Q: Are there packaging considerations when selecting a substitute?

A: The 69830-040 was supplied in standard packaging. The 69830-040LF is packaged in tubes, while the 1-746610-9 is supplied in bulk. Packaging selection should align with procurement volume and handling requirements.

Q: Does connector color affect electrical performance?

A: No. Connector color is a cosmetic feature and does not impact electrical or mechanical function. Color selection may be driven by design documentation, assembly identification, or visual traceability requirements.

Q: Are both substitutes RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The 69830-040LF and 1-746610-9 are both RoHS compliant. The original 69830-040 is RoHS non-compliant. This distinction is relevant for applications subject to RoHS regulations or customer requirements.

Q: Can the 1-746610-9 accept 26-30 AWG solid wire while the original accepts only 26-28 AWG?

A: Yes. The 1-746610-9 IDC termination is rated for 26-30 AWG solid wire, providing expanded compatibility. This does not create incompatibility with 26-28 AWG wire, which falls within the expanded range.
