Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution compatibility for the 70231-111 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Configuration: Receptacle with female blade sockets, 8 positions arranged in 4 rows
• Mounting Interface: Board edge, through-hole, right-angle orientation
• Termination Method: Solder attachment to PCB
• Contact Layout: 8-position power distribution configuration
• Mechanical Features: Board guide and spacer provisions
• Electrical Ratings: Current and voltage handling capacity
• Environmental Compliance: Flammability and temperature operating range

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 536613-1 meets the core mechanical and electrical substitution criteria: identical 8-position receptacle configuration, female blade socket design, board edge through-hole right-angle mounting, solder termination, and matching contact layout for power applications. Both connectors feature UL94 V-0 flammability rating and board guide/spacer features.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 536613-1 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete Amphenol ICC 70231-111. Both connectors share identical mechanical interfaces and contact configurations, ensuring physical and functional compatibility in board edge, through-hole, right-angle mounting applications.

Key considerations for selection:

Electrical Ratings: The 70231-111 is rated for 1000V and 3A, while the 536613-1 is rated for 30V. Applications requiring the full 1000V rating of the original part require verification that the substitute meets voltage requirements.

Compliance Status: The 536613-1 is ROHS3 compliant and currently in active production with 50,300 units in stock, providing supply continuity for legacy system support and new builds. The 70231-111 is RoHS non-compliant and obsolete with limited remaining inventory.

Operating Temperature: The 536613-1 supports an extended operating range of -55°C to 125°C compared to the 70231-111's -55°C to 105°C range, providing additional thermal margin in demanding environments.

Contact Finish: Both connectors feature gold plating. The 70231-111 specifies 30.0µin thickness; the 536613-1 specifies flash thickness.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 536613-1 directly replace the Amphenol ICC 70231-111 in all applications?

A: Physical and functional compatibility is confirmed for board edge, through-hole, right-angle mounting with 8-position power distribution. However, the voltage rating difference (30V vs. 1000V) requires application-specific verification. Confirm that your circuit operates within the 30V maximum rating of the substitute part.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: The 70231-111 is obsolete. The 536613-1 is the manufacturer-recommended equivalent, currently in active production with substantial inventory availability.

Q: Are the mechanical dimensions and pin configurations identical?

A: Yes. Both connectors feature 8-position receptacles with female blade sockets, 4-row configuration, board edge through-hole right-angle mounting, and identical contact layout for power applications. Board guide and spacer features are present on both parts.

Q: What compliance differences exist between these parts?

A: The 536613-1 is ROHS3 compliant and actively manufactured. The 70231-111 is RoHS non-compliant and obsolete. Both meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements.

Q: Does the extended operating temperature range of the 536613-1 affect compatibility?

A: No. The 536613-1's -55°C to 125°C range encompasses the 70231-111's -55°C to 105°C range, providing equal or superior performance in temperature-sensitive applications.

Q: Are solder termination processes identical for both connectors?

A: Both connectors use solder termination to PCB. Standard through-hole soldering processes apply to both parts without modification.
