Amphenol ICC 70079-308 Backplane Connector Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 70079-308 is a backplane connector termination kit designed for 21-position receptacle applications with female sockets in gray. This component serves as a critical interface in backplane assembly configurations where reliable signal and power distribution is required. The part is currently in active production status with 847 units available as new original stock, making it suitable for immediate deployment in manufacturing and assembly operations.

Substitute parts are identified when they maintain functional equivalence through matching connector architecture, socket configuration, and electrical performance characteristics within the backplane connector category.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 70079-308 is determined by strict adherence to the following parameters:

• Manufacturer Consistency: Part must originate from Amphenol ICC (FCI) to ensure design compatibility and quality standards
• Connector Architecture: 21-position receptacle configuration with female socket termination
• Physical Characteristics: Gray color specification for mechanical and environmental consistency
• Product Category: Classification within backplane connectors to maintain functional equivalence
• Kit Configuration: Termination kit format with integrated components

The substitute part 70079-308LF meets all specified criteria while providing an alternative packaging configuration with integrated cover assembly.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 70079-308 and 70079-308LF are manufactured by Amphenol ICC (FCI) and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications for the 21-position female socket receptacle configuration. Selection between these parts should be based on assembly requirements:

• 70079-308: Standard termination kit configuration suitable for applications where cover integration is handled separately or not required
• 70079-308LF: Integrated backpanel kit with cover assembly, providing two-piece configuration for applications requiring factory-assembled cover protection

Both parts are new original stock with active inventory availability. Component selection should align with specific backplane assembly design requirements and cover integration methodology.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 70079-308LF be used as a direct replacement for 70079-308?

A: Both parts share identical 21-position female socket receptacle specifications and gray color. The primary difference is packaging configuration: 70079-308LF includes an integrated cover assembly as a two-piece kit, while 70079-308 is a standard termination kit. Compatibility depends on whether your assembly design accommodates the cover integration.

Q: What determines substitution eligibility for backplane connector kits?

A: Substitution is valid when parts maintain matching position count (21), connector type (receptacle with female sockets), color specification (gray), and manufacturer origin (Amphenol ICC). The product category classification as backplane connectors ensures functional equivalence within the connector interface architecture.

Q: Are there inventory considerations between these parts?

A: The 70079-308 has 847 units in stock, while 70079-308LF has 767 units available. Both are classified as new original inventory. Selection may be influenced by project timeline and quantity requirements.

Q: What is the significance of the "LF" designation in 70079-308LF?

A: The LF suffix indicates a variant configuration with integrated cover assembly (backpanel kit with cover, 2-piece configuration) compared to the standard 70079-308 termination kit format.
