Amphenol ICC 70229-101 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 70229-101 is a 96-position backplane connector receptacle with female sockets, designed for board edge mounting with through-hole, right-angle termination. This connector is part of the Metral® series and features a 0.079" (2.00mm) pitch across 4 rows with gold-plated contacts and board guide/spacer features.

The 70229-101 is classified as obsolete. Identifying equivalent substitute parts is necessary to maintain design continuity and ensure component availability for new production runs, repairs, and system upgrades where this connector type is specified.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 70229-101 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Gender: Receptacle with female sockets (maintains mating compatibility)
• Position Count & Pitch: 96 positions at 0.079" (2.00mm) pitch (ensures mechanical and electrical fit)
• Row Configuration: 4 rows (preserves board layout compatibility)
• Mounting & Termination: Board edge, through-hole, right-angle solder termination (maintains PCB integration method)
• Contact Material & Finish: Gold plating (ensures electrical performance and corrosion resistance)
• Mechanical Features: Board guide and spacer (ensures proper alignment and structural integrity)
• Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0 (maintains safety compliance)

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 5536507-3 meets all these criteria and qualifies as a direct substitute.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity 5536507-3 is the qualified substitute for the Amphenol ICC 70229-101 based on the following engineering factors:

Product Status: The 70229-101 is obsolete, while the 5536507-3 is active and in production. This ensures long-term component availability and supply chain stability.

Compliance & Certifications: The 5536507-3 achieves ROHS3 compliance, whereas the 70229-101 is RoHS non-compliant. For applications subject to RoHS regulations, the 5536507-3 provides regulatory alignment. Both connectors maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity classification.

Electrical & Mechanical Compatibility: Both connectors share identical critical parameters—96 positions, 0.079" pitch, 4-row configuration, board edge right-angle mounting, solder termination, and gold contact finish. This ensures direct functional equivalence in PCB layout and mating interface.

Operational Specifications: The 5536507-3 provides defined voltage (30V) and temperature (-55°C ~ 125°C) ratings, whereas the 70229-101 does not specify these parameters. For applications requiring explicit thermal and voltage performance data, the 5536507-3 offers documented performance boundaries.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 5536507-3 directly replace the Amphenol ICC 70229-101 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical position count (96), pitch (0.079"), row configuration (4), mounting method (board edge, through-hole, right-angle), and contact finish (gold). The mechanical and electrical interfaces are equivalent, enabling direct substitution without PCB redesign.

Q: What is the primary reason to substitute the 70229-101?

A: The 70229-101 is obsolete. The 5536507-3 is an active production part, ensuring component availability, consistent supply, and long-term manufacturability.

Q: Does the substitute part meet RoHS requirements?

A: The 5536507-3 is ROHS3 compliant, whereas the 70229-101 is RoHS non-compliant. For applications subject to RoHS directives, the 5536507-3 satisfies regulatory requirements.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these connectors?

A: The 70229-101 packaging is not specified in the available data. The 5536507-3 is supplied in tube packaging. Verify packaging requirements with your procurement process.

Q: What are the operating temperature and voltage limits for the substitute?

A: The 5536507-3 operates across -55°C to 125°C and is rated for 30V. The 70229-101 does not provide these specifications. Confirm that the 5536507-3 ratings meet your application requirements.

Q: Are both connectors classified as the same flammability grade?

A: Yes. Both the 70229-101 and 5536507-3 meet UL94 V-0 material flammability rating, ensuring equivalent fire safety performance.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for both parts?

A: Both connectors are classified as MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage, handling, or assembly.
