Amphenol ICC 70233-111 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 70233-111 is a 48-position PCB header connector with male pins designed for through-hole mounting applications. This connector is part of the Metral® series and is currently in active production status. The part features press-fit termination, gold-plated contacts, and operates across a wide temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. Finding equivalent or substitute parts may be necessary due to inventory availability, supply chain considerations, or specific application requirements that align with alternative connector architectures.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Amphenol ICC 70233-111 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Position Count: 48 positions (exact match required)
• Pitch: 0.079" (2.00mm) (exact match required)
• Row Configuration: 4 rows (exact match required)
• Mounting Method: Through-hole PCB mounting (exact match required)
• Contact Type: Male pins (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 125°C (substitute must meet or exceed this range)
• Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0 (substitute must meet or exceed this rating)
• Contact Finish: Gold plating (substitute must provide equivalent corrosion resistance)

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors part 5536513-2 qualifies as a substitute based on matching all critical dimensional and electrical parameters. While termination method differs (solder versus press-fit), both methods provide equivalent mechanical and electrical performance for PCB integration in backplane connector applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Amphenol ICC 70233-111 and TE Connectivity 5536513-2 are active production parts with equivalent dimensional specifications, operating temperature ranges, and flammability certifications. The primary distinction is RoHS compliance status: the TE Connectivity part meets ROHS3 requirements, while the Amphenol ICC part does not. Selection between these parts should be based on regulatory requirements applicable to the end application. For applications requiring RoHS3 compliance, the TE Connectivity 5536513-2 is the appropriate choice. For applications without RoHS compliance mandates, either part is functionally equivalent. The difference in termination method (press-fit versus solder) does not affect electrical or mechanical performance in standard PCB backplane connector applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 5536513-2 directly replace the Amphenol ICC 70233-111 on existing PCBs?

A: Yes, both connectors share identical pitch (0.079" / 2.00mm), position count (48), row configuration (4), and through-hole mounting specifications. The primary consideration is termination method: the Amphenol part uses press-fit termination while the TE Connectivity part uses solder termination. PCB pad design must accommodate the selected termination method.

Q: What is the significance of the RoHS compliance difference?

A: The TE Connectivity 5536513-2 is ROHS3 compliant, meaning it meets current European Union Restriction of Hazardous Substances regulations. The Amphenol ICC 70233-111 is RoHS non-compliant. Selection depends on whether the end application or market requires RoHS compliance certification.

Q: Are the electrical performance characteristics identical?

A: Both connectors operate across -55°C to 125°C, feature gold-plated contacts, maintain UL94 V-0 flammability ratings, and provide equivalent electrical performance for backplane connector applications. The TE Connectivity part specifies a 30V voltage rating; the Amphenol part does not specify voltage rating in the provided data.

Q: Does termination method affect connector reliability?

A: Both press-fit and solder termination methods provide reliable mechanical and electrical connections when properly executed. Selection should be based on PCB design, manufacturing process capability, and assembly equipment availability.

Q: What packaging is available for both parts?

A: Both the Amphenol ICC 70233-111 and TE Connectivity 5536513-2 are supplied in tube packaging.
