Amphenol ICC 72454-014 Rectangular Connector Header – Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 72454-014 is a surface mount rectangular connector header with 14 positions arranged in 2 rows at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch. This component is classified as obsolete, which necessitates identification of active equivalent parts for ongoing production and design requirements. The connector features shrouded 4-wall construction, solder termination, and push-pull fastening, making it suitable for board-to-cable/wire applications requiring reliable interconnection in compact form factors.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 72454-014 is determined by strict equivalence in the following critical parameters:

Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Header with male pins, 14 positions in 2 rows
Pitch Specifications: Mating pitch and row spacing both 0.100" (2.54mm)
Mounting & Termination: Surface mount with solder termination
Mechanical Interface: Shrouded 4-wall construction with push-pull fastening
Environmental Compliance: UL94 V-0 flammability rating

Substitute parts are grouped into two categories:

Category 1 – Direct Amphenol ICC Equivalent (72454-014LF): Identical electrical and mechanical specifications with updated RoHS compliance and active product status. Differs only in packaging format (Tray vs. original packaging).

Category 2 – Samtec HTST Series Alternatives: Functionally equivalent headers meeting all core mating and mounting requirements. These parts maintain the same pitch, position count, shrouding, and termination method. Differences include enhanced contact current rating (3.4A per contact vs. 1A), extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C vs. -65°C ~ 105°C), and alternative insulation material (Liquid Crystal Polymer vs. standard material). Available in multiple packaging configurations (Tube, Tape & Reel) and feature variants (Board Guide, Pick and Place options).

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Recommendation: 72454-014LF

The 72454-014LF is the direct successor to the obsolete 72454-014. It maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications while providing active product status and RoHS compliance. This part is the preferred choice for designs requiring exact form-fit-function compatibility with minimal qualification effort. Higher inventory availability (1888 pcs) supports production continuity.

Secondary Recommendation: Samtec HTST Series (HTST-107-01-L-DV, HTST-107-01-L-DV-P, HTST-107-01-L-DV-TR, HTST-107-01-L-DV-P-TR)

The Samtec HTST-107 series provides functional equivalence with enhanced electrical performance (3.4A per contact vs. 1A) and extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C vs. -65°C ~ 105°C). These parts are suitable for applications where the original 1A current rating is insufficient or where the extended temperature range provides design margin. All HTST variants maintain identical mating pitch, position count, shrouding, and termination method. Selection among HTST variants depends on packaging requirements: Tube packaging for standard applications, Tape & Reel for automated assembly processes.

Tertiary Recommendation: Samtec HTST Series with Board Guide (HTST-107-01-L-DV-A, HTST-107-01-L-DV-A-P, HTST-107-01-L-DV-A-P-TR)

These variants include board guide features for enhanced mechanical stability. Selection is appropriate when PCB layout permits the additional guide structure and when mechanical robustness is a design priority.

Compliance Considerations

All substitute parts carry ROHS3 compliance, addressing regulatory requirements that the original 72454-014 does not meet. The 72454-014LF provides the most direct compliance upgrade path. Samtec HTST series parts are suitable for applications requiring REACH compliance verification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Samtec HTST-107 series directly replace the Amphenol ICC 72454-014 without PCB redesign?

A: The HTST-107 series maintains identical mating pitch (0.100"), position count (14 in 2 rows), shrouding (4-wall), and termination method (solder). However, the contact length differs (0.250" vs. 0.230") and insulation height is reduced (0.350" vs. 0.365"). PCB footprint compatibility must be verified before substitution. The 72454-014LF is recommended for direct replacement without design changes.

Q: What is the difference between HTST-107-01-L-DV and HTST-107-01-L-DV-A?

A: Both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent. The "-A" suffix indicates the inclusion of a board guide feature. Selection depends on mechanical design requirements and available PCB space. The board guide provides additional mechanical stability but requires corresponding PCB layout accommodation.

Q: Why do some HTST variants include "-P" and "-TR" suffixes?

A: The "-P" suffix indicates Pick and Place features for automated assembly compatibility. The "-TR" suffix denotes Tape & Reel packaging format, which is standard for high-volume automated production. Tube packaging (without "-TR") is suitable for manual assembly or lower-volume applications. Packaging selection does not affect electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: Is the 72454-014LF identical to the original 72454-014?

A: The 72454-014LF is electrically and mechanically identical to the 72454-014. The primary differences are active product status, RoHS compliance, and packaging format (Tray). It is the recommended direct replacement for obsolete stock.

Q: What is the significance of the contact finish thickness difference between 72454-014 and HTST-107 series?

A: The 72454-014 and HTST-107-01-S-DV variants specify 30.0µin (0.76µm) gold plating, while most HTST-107-01-L-DV variants specify 10.0µin (0.25µm). Both thicknesses meet functional requirements for the stated 1A and 3.4A current ratings respectively. The thinner plating in HTST-107-01-L-DV variants reflects optimized contact design for higher current capacity.

Q: Can the 1A current rating of 72454-014 be exceeded with HTST-107 substitutes?

A: The HTST-107 series is rated for 3.4A per contact, providing significantly higher current capacity. However, circuit design must account for this capability; exceeding the original 1A rating requires verification that downstream components and PCB traces are rated accordingly.

Q: What inventory considerations apply to these substitute parts?

A: The 72454-014LF offers the highest inventory (1888 pcs), followed by HTST-107-01-L-DV-P-TR (1620 pcs). Samtec HTST variants in Tape & Reel format generally have higher availability than Tube packaging. Inventory levels support both prototype and production-volume requirements.
