Amphenol ICC 71918-214 Rectangular Connector Header - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 71918-214 is a shrouded vertical through-hole rectangular connector header with 14 positions arranged in 2 rows at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch. This component is classified as obsolete, making equivalent and substitute parts necessary for ongoing design support and production continuity. The connector features gold-plated mating contacts, phosphor bronze material, and UL94 V-0 flammability rating suitable for board-to-cable/wire applications requiring reliable mechanical and electrical connections.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the 71918-214 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Header with male pins, 14 positions in 2 rows
Pitch Specification: 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch and row spacing
Mounting & Termination: Through-hole solder termination
Shrouding & Mechanical Interface: Shrouded 4-wall design with keying slot and mounting flange
Electrical & Material Properties: UL94 V-0 flammability rating, gold mating contact finish

Substitute parts are grouped into two categories:

Category A - Direct Functional Equivalents (Vertical Orientation) Parts maintaining identical mounting orientation, contact length specifications, and mechanical envelope. These include Amphenol ICC 71918-214LF (active status, RoHS compliant), HARTING 09185145904, 09185146902, 09185146904, 09185146914, and 09185147904, and TE Connectivity 499160-2 and 499374-2.

Category B - Orientation Variant (Right Angle) HARTING 09185146321 and 09185147321 provide right-angle mounting configuration while maintaining the same pitch, position count, and electrical interface. These are suitable only where board layout permits right-angle orientation.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Recommendation: Amphenol ICC 71918-214LF

The 71918-214LF is the direct successor to the obsolete 71918-214, maintaining identical electrical and mechanical specifications while achieving active product status and RoHS compliance. This part is the preferred choice for new designs and production continuity where the original specification must be preserved.

Secondary Recommendations: HARTING SEK Series (09185145904, 09185146902, 09185146904, 09185146914, 09185147904)

HARTING parts provide functional equivalence with extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C) and ROHS3 compliance. These connectors are suitable for applications requiring enhanced thermal performance. Minor variations in contact length and post dimensions exist; verify mechanical fit within the target application before selection.

Alternative Consideration: TE Connectivity AMP-Latch Series (499160-2, 499374-2)

TE Connectivity parts maintain pitch and position count equivalence but feature reduced insulation height (0.549" versus 0.685") and lower operating temperature ceiling (-55°C to 105°C). These parts are suitable only where board layout accommodates the reduced profile and thermal requirements do not exceed 105°C. Both parts retain RoHS non-compliant status.

Right-Angle Variants: HARTING 09185146321 and 09185147321

These parts provide right-angle mounting orientation while maintaining pitch and position specifications. Selection is limited to applications where board layout permits right-angle connector orientation and where the reduced insulation height (0.366" versus 0.685") is compatible with the mechanical envelope.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use the 71918-214LF as a direct replacement for the obsolete 71918-214?

A: Yes. The 71918-214LF maintains identical pitch (0.100"), position count (14 in 2 rows), contact length, insulation height, and shrouding configuration. The primary differences are active product status and RoHS compliance. Electrical and mechanical interfaces are equivalent.

Q: What is the key difference between HARTING and TE Connectivity substitutes?

A: HARTING parts (09185145904, 09185146902, 09185146904, 09185146914, 09185147904) provide extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C) and ROHS3 compliance. TE Connectivity parts (499160-2, 499374-2) feature reduced insulation height and lower maximum operating temperature (105°C) with RoHS non-compliant status. Both maintain the 0.100" pitch and 14-position configuration.

Q: Are right-angle variants (09185146321, 09185147321) mechanically compatible with vertical mounting applications?

A: No. Right-angle variants are designed for perpendicular board mounting and feature reduced insulation height (0.366" versus 0.685"). These parts are suitable only for applications where the board layout permits right-angle connector orientation.

Q: What packaging options are available for substitute parts?

A: Amphenol ICC 71918-214LF is supplied in Tube packaging. HARTING parts are supplied in Bulk or Tray packaging. TE Connectivity parts are supplied in Bulk packaging. Verify packaging requirements with procurement specifications before ordering.

Q: Do all substitute parts meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts maintain UL94 V-0 material flammability rating, equivalent to the original 71918-214 specification.

Q: What is the inventory status for substitute parts?

A: All substitute parts listed are in active production with confirmed inventory availability ranging from 681 to 1715 pieces. The original 71918-214 has 1154 pieces available as new original stock but is classified as obsolete.

Q: Are there differences in contact finish specifications between substitutes?

A: Yes. The original 71918-214 and 71918-214LF specify gold GXT™ mating finish with 30.0µin thickness. HARTING parts specify gold mating finish without thickness specification. TE Connectivity parts specify gold or gold-palladium mating finish with 30.0µin thickness. All maintain gold-plated mating surfaces suitable for standard connector applications.
