Amphenol ICC 75160-101-08LF Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 75160-101-08LF is a rectangular connector header with 8 vertical positions at 2.54mm pitch, designed for through-hole board-to-board applications. This component is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent parts that maintain functional compatibility. Substitute parts must preserve the core electrical and mechanical specifications: 8-position configuration, 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch, male pin contact type, solder termination, and push-pull fastening.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts listed are classified as active products with current manufacturing support, addressing the obsolescence status of the 75160-101-08LF. Selection criteria are based on regulatory compliance and product availability:

Primary Recommendation Tier (Highest Compliance Alignment): Molex 0022285086 and 0050291620 (KK254 series) provide direct functional equivalence with ROHS3 compliance and established automotive/medical application history. Both support board-to-board or cable configurations with identical pitch and position count.

Secondary Recommendation Tier (Active Manufacturing with Full Specifications): Samtec HTSW-108-07-G-S and HTSW-108-07-S-S offer extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C) with UL94 V-0 flammability rating and ROHS3 compliance. These parts feature Liquid Crystal Polymer insulation and phosphor bronze contacts, matching the material profile of the original component.

Alternative Tier (Specialized Configurations): Mill-Max 800-10-008-10-001000 provides circular contact geometry with brass alloy construction and ROHS3 compliance. Samtec TS series (TS-108-G-A-1, TS-108-G-AA, TS-108-T-A-2) and TSW-108-07-F-S offer screw machine or alternative contact finishes with active manufacturing status and ROHS3 compliance.

All substitute parts maintain the critical functional parameters: 8-position, 2.54mm pitch, male pin, through-hole solder termination, and push-pull fastening. Regulatory compliance (ROHS3, REACH status where applicable) and active product status ensure long-term supply chain viability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What are the critical parameters that determine substitution compatibility? A: The 8-position count, 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch, male pin contact type, through-hole mounting, solder termination, and push-pull fastening mechanism are non-negotiable. Any substitute must match these specifications exactly. Contact shape (square or circular) and insulation material variations are acceptable provided mechanical fit is verified.

Q: Can I use a substitute part with a different contact finish (gold vs. tin)? A: Yes. Both gold and tin contact finishes provide adequate electrical performance for this application class. The choice depends on your specific environmental and corrosion requirements. Gold finishes offer superior corrosion resistance; tin finishes are cost-effective for standard industrial applications.

Q: Are there differences in operating temperature ranges among the substitutes? A: Yes. The original 75160-101-08LF operates from -65°C to 130°C. Most active substitutes operate within -55°C to 125°C. If your application requires the full -65°C to 130°C range, verify the specific substitute's temperature specification before selection. Samtec HMTSW-108-07-TM-S-195 operates to 105°C maximum.

Q: What is the difference between Molex KK254 variants (0022285086 vs. 0050291620)? A: Both are KK254 series headers with identical pitch, position count, and compliance status. The primary difference is contact post length: 0022285086 features kinked pin termination with 0.135" post length, while 0050291620 uses standard solder termination with 0.125" post length. Select based on your PCB thickness and soldering process requirements.

Q: Do all substitutes have the same packaging? A: No. Packaging varies: Molex parts ship in bulk, Samtec HTSW and TSW series in bags, Samtec TS series in tubes, and Mill-Max in bulk. Packaging does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility; select based on your procurement and inventory management requirements.

Q: Is the circular contact geometry of Mill-Max 800-10-008-10-001000 compatible with my application? A: Circular contacts are mechanically compatible with standard 2.54mm pitch receptacles. However, verify that your mating connector accepts circular pin geometry. Square pins are the standard for this pitch class; circular pins may require specific receptacle design confirmation.

Q: Which substitute offers the best long-term supply assurance? A: Samtec and Molex are established manufacturers with broad product portfolios and active manufacturing status. Molex KK254 series (0022285086, 0050291620) and Samtec HTSW series (HTSW-108-07-G-S, HTSW-108-07-S-S) represent the most widely adopted alternatives with established design-in history across automotive, medical, and telecommunications sectors.
