Amphenol ICC 70233-115 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 70233-115 is a 48-position backplane connector header with male pins for through-hole PCB mounting. This component is classified as obsolete, making equivalent and substitute parts necessary for new designs and ongoing production support. The Metral® series connector features press-fit termination, gold-plated contacts, and operates across -55°C to 125°C. Substitute parts maintain the core electrical and mechanical specifications while offering improved availability and compliance status.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the 70233-115 is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters: 48-position count, 0.079" (2.00mm) pitch, 4-row configuration, through-hole mounting, male pin connector type, gold contact finish, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, and -55°C to 125°C operating temperature range.

The substitute parts are grouped into two categories:

Direct Amphenol ICC Substitute: Part 70233-115LF maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications while offering active product status and RoHS compliance. This part is the primary direct equivalent.

TE Connectivity AMP Connectors Alternatives: Parts 536504-2, 5536504-2, 5536513-2, and 5536514-2 are functionally equivalent across core parameters. These parts operate within the same pitch, position count, and temperature range. Variations exist in termination method (press-fit versus solder), connector style designation (Futurebus), and compliance certifications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For direct replacement with active product status: Select 70233-115LF. This part is manufactured by Amphenol ICC and maintains identical specifications to the original 70233-115 while offering active product status and RoHS compliance. Packaging is provided in tube format.

For RoHS-compliant alternatives with active status: Parts 5536504-2, 5536513-2, and 5536514-2 from TE Connectivity AMP Connectors meet RoHS or ROHS3 compliance requirements. These parts maintain the 48-position, 2.00mm pitch, and through-hole configuration.

For press-fit termination with RoHS compliance: Select 5536504-2 or 5536514-2. Both parts feature press-fit termination and active product status with RoHS compliance.

For solder termination with ROHS3 compliance: Select 5536513-2. This part includes board guide features and solder termination, with ROHS3 compliance certification.

For non-RoHS applications: Part 536504-2 remains available with active product status, though it does not meet RoHS compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 70233-115LF be used as a direct replacement for 70233-115?

A: Yes. The 70233-115LF maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications including 48 positions, 2.00mm pitch, 4-row configuration, through-hole mounting, press-fit termination, and gold contact finish. The primary difference is product status (active versus obsolete) and RoHS compliance.

Q: What is the key difference between TE Connectivity parts 5536504-2 and 5536513-2?

A: The primary difference is termination method. Part 5536504-2 uses press-fit termination, while 5536513-2 uses solder termination and includes board guide features. Both maintain the 48-position, 2.00mm pitch configuration and operate across -55°C to 125°C.

Q: Are TE Connectivity parts electrically equivalent to the Amphenol ICC 70233-115?

A: Yes, across the specified parameters. All substitute parts maintain 48 positions, 0.079" (2.00mm) pitch, 4-row configuration, through-hole mounting, male pin type, gold contact finish, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, and -55°C to 125°C operating temperature range.

Q: Which substitute part offers the best compliance status?

A: Part 5536513-2 carries ROHS3 compliance certification. Parts 70233-115LF, 5536504-2, and 5536514-2 carry RoHS compliance. Part 536504-2 does not meet RoHS compliance.

Q: Does packaging differ between substitute parts?

A: All substitute parts are packaged in tube format. The original 70233-115 packaging is not specified in the provided data.

Q: Can I use a solder-termination part (5536513-2) in place of a press-fit part (70233-115)?

A: No. Termination method determines PCB assembly compatibility. Press-fit termination (70233-115, 70233-115LF, 5536504-2, 5536514-2) requires press-fit assembly equipment. Solder termination (5536513-2) requires solder reflow processes. Selection must match your assembly method.
