Amphenol ICC 71922-016LF Rectangular Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 71922-016LF is an active rectangular connector header designed for through-hole, right-angle board-to-cable/wire applications. This shrouded 16-position connector operates at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch and features male pin contacts with gold-plated mating surfaces and tin-plated posts. The connector is part of the Quickie™ series and maintains RoHS compliance with UL94 V-0 flammability rating. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters align with the core specifications of this connector type.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 71922-016LF is determined by strict alignment of the following core parameters:

• Connector type (Header)
• Contact type (Male Pin)
• Number of positions and rows (16 positions, 2 rows)
• Pitch specification (0.100" / 2.54mm mating pitch and row spacing)
• Mounting configuration (Through Hole, Right Angle)
• Shrouding design (Shrouded - 4 Wall)
• Termination method (Solder)
• Fastening mechanism (Push-Pull)
• Contact finish specifications (Gold mating surface, Tin post)
• Regulatory compliance (RoHS Compliant, UL94 V-0)

The 3M N3408-5002RB meets all these core substitution criteria and is classified as a manufacturer-recommended equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Amphenol ICC 71922-016LF and 3M N3408-5002RB are active products with RoHS compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability certification. The 3M N3408-5002RB is designated as a manufacturer-recommended substitute and maintains functional equivalence across all core connector parameters: 16-position, 2-row configuration; 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch; through-hole right-angle mounting; shrouded 4-wall design; and push-pull fastening.

Minor variations exist in contact length specifications and insulation material composition. The 3M part provides documented operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 105°C) and current rating (1.75A), while the Amphenol ICC part does not specify these parameters in the provided data. Both connectors maintain equivalent electrical and mechanical performance for standard board-to-cable/wire interconnect applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What determines if the 3M N3408-5002RB can substitute for the Amphenol ICC 71922-016LF?

A: Substitution is based on matching core parameters: 16-position, 2-row header configuration; 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch and row spacing; through-hole right-angle mounting; shrouded 4-wall design; solder termination; push-pull fastening; gold mating contact finish with tin post finish; and RoHS compliance with UL94 V-0 rating. The 3M part meets all these criteria.

Q: Are there physical dimension differences between these connectors?

A: Contact length specifications differ slightly. The Amphenol ICC 71922-016LF has a mating contact length of 0.228" (5.80mm) and post length of 0.114" (2.90mm), while the 3M N3408-5002RB has a mating contact length of 0.240" (6.10mm) and post length of 0.112" (2.84mm). Insulation heights are nearly identical at 0.339" (8.61mm) and 0.340" (8.64mm) respectively. These minor variations are within typical connector tolerance ranges for equivalent applications.

Q: What is the difference in insulation material between these parts?

A: The Amphenol ICC 71922-016LF uses thermoplastic glass-filled insulation, while the 3M N3408-5002RB uses polycyclohexylenedimethylene terephthalate (PCT) polyester glass-filled insulation. Both materials achieve UL94 V-0 flammability rating and maintain equivalent electrical performance for standard applications.

Q: Does packaging format affect substitution eligibility?

A: The Amphenol ICC 71922-016LF is supplied in tube packaging, while the 3M N3408-5002RB is supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging format does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility; it impacts only logistics and handling procedures.

Q: Are both connectors RoHS compliant?

A: Yes, both the Amphenol ICC 71922-016LF and 3M N3408-5002RB are RoHS compliant. Both carry EAR99 ECCN classification and 8536.69.4040 HTSUS code, with moisture sensitivity level 1 (unlimited).
