Amphenol ICC 70227-101 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 70227-101 is a 24-position backplane connector receptacle with female sockets, designed for board edge mounting in through-hole applications with right-angle orientation. This connector is part of the Metral® series and features a 0.079" (2.00mm) pitch configuration across 4 rows. The product is currently obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for system maintenance, repair, and legacy equipment support.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Amphenol ICC 70227-101 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Configuration: Receptacle with female sockets, 24 positions, 4-row arrangement
• Pitch Specification: 0.079" (2.00mm) center-to-center spacing
• Mounting & Orientation: Board edge mounting, through-hole termination, right-angle configuration
• Electrical & Physical Compatibility: Solder termination, gold contact finish, UL94 V-0 flammability rating
• Mechanical Features: Board guide and spacer provisions

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors part 5536507-1 meets all these critical parameters, establishing it as a direct functional equivalent. Both connectors share identical positional count, pitch, mounting methodology, and core electrical characteristics necessary for interchangeability in legacy backplane applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 5536507-1 is the designated substitute for the obsolete Amphenol ICC 70227-101. Selection of this alternative is supported by:

• Functional Equivalence: Identical connector configuration, pitch, position count, and mounting methodology ensure direct mechanical and electrical compatibility
• Active Product Status: The substitute part is currently in active production with confirmed inventory availability (2000 pcs), eliminating supply chain risk associated with the obsolete original
• Regulatory Compliance: The substitute achieves ROHS3 compliance, meeting current environmental and material restriction standards, whereas the original is RoHS non-compliant
• Certification Parity: Both connectors maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating and identical MSL classification, preserving thermal and moisture performance characteristics
• Connector Series Compatibility: The Z-PACK series designation of the substitute reflects modern backplane connector architecture while maintaining legacy interface compatibility

For new designs or system upgrades, the TE Connectivity 5536507-1 is the appropriate selection. For legacy system repairs requiring exact form-fit-function replacement, this substitute provides equivalent performance with improved compliance posture.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 5536507-1 be used as a direct replacement for the Amphenol ICC 70227-101 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mechanical dimensions, pitch spacing (0.079" / 2.00mm), position count (24), row configuration (4), and mounting methodology (board edge, through-hole, right-angle). Solder termination and gold contact finish are equivalent across both parts. Physical and electrical interchangeability is confirmed.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two connectors?

A: The primary differences are product status and regulatory compliance. The Amphenol ICC 70227-101 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant, while the TE Connectivity 5536507-1 is an active product with ROHS3 compliance. Functionally, both connectors are equivalent for backplane applications.

Q: Are there any packaging differences between the original and substitute?

A: Yes. The Amphenol ICC 70227-101 packaging specification is not provided in the technical data. The TE Connectivity 5536507-1 is supplied in tube packaging. Verify packaging requirements for your specific assembly process before procurement.

Q: Does the TE Connectivity substitute maintain the same operating temperature range?

A: The TE Connectivity 5536507-1 specifies an operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. The original Amphenol ICC 70227-101 operating temperature specification is not provided in the available technical data. Confirm temperature requirements for your application.

Q: Are voltage and current ratings identical between the two connectors?

A: The TE Connectivity 5536507-1 specifies a 30V voltage rating. Current rating specifications are not provided for either connector in the available technical data. Consult detailed datasheets for complete electrical specifications if voltage or current ratings are critical to your application.

Q: What is the Futurebus designation on the TE Connectivity part?

A: Futurebus is a connector style classification used by TE Connectivity for backplane connectors. This designation indicates the connector's architectural compatibility with Futurebus-based systems. The mechanical and electrical parameters remain equivalent to the original Amphenol ICC connector for standard backplane applications.
