Amphenol ICC 75160-118-09 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 75160-118-09 is a rectangular connector header with 9 positions at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, designed for through-hole board-to-board applications. This BERGSTIK® series connector features male pins with gold-plated mating contacts and solder termination. The part is currently obsolete, making equivalent substitutes necessary for ongoing production and maintenance applications requiring compatible 9-position 2.54mm pitch header connectors.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All listed substitute parts are manufactured by Samtec Inc. and maintain active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity. The primary advantage of these substitutes over the obsolete 75160-118-09 is ROHS3 compliance, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.

HTS Series (HTS-109-G-A, HTS-109-G-AA): These high-temperature variants offer thermoplastic insulation matching the original part's material class. Both are ROHS3 compliant and actively produced, providing direct functional equivalence with improved regulatory standing.

MTLW Series (MTLW-109-07-F-S-250): This Flex Stack variant uses liquid crystal polymer insulation with enhanced thermal performance (-55°C to 125°C operating range) and higher current rating (5.2A per contact). The reduced insulation height (0.060" vs. 0.100") and lower contact finish thickness (3.00µin) represent design improvements while maintaining core compatibility.

TSW Series (TSW-109-07-G-S, TSW-109-07-L-S, TSW-109-07-S-S, TSW-109-07-T-S, TSW-109-08-G-S, TSW-109-23-L-S, TSW-109-23-S-S): These polybutylene terephthalate insulation variants span multiple contact finish and post length configurations. TSW-109-07 variants feature 0.100" post length; TSW-109-08-G-S provides extended 0.200" post length for deeper PCB penetration; TSW-109-23 variants offer 0.115" post length with overall contact length matching the original part (0.445"). Contact finish options include gold (G), tin (T), and mixed finishes (L, S designations). All TSW variants operate at -55°C to 125°C except TSW-109-07-T-S, which is rated to 105°C.

Selection should prioritize TSW-109-23-L-S or TSW-109-23-S-S for closest dimensional equivalence to the original part, or MTLW-109-07-F-S-250 for enhanced thermal performance in demanding applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I directly replace the 75160-118-09 with any of these substitutes?

A: Yes, all listed substitutes are functionally compatible. They share the same 9-position, 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, single-row header configuration with male pins, through-hole mounting, and solder termination. The primary differences are in contact finish specifications, post length, and insulation material composition, which do not prevent direct substitution in standard applications.

Q: What is the difference between the TSW-109-23 and TSW-109-07 variants?

A: The primary difference is contact post length. TSW-109-23 variants have 0.115" post length with 0.445" overall contact length, matching the original 75160-118-09 dimensions. TSW-109-07 variants have 0.100" post length with 0.430" overall contact length. TSW-109-08-G-S provides extended 0.200" post length for applications requiring deeper PCB penetration.

Q: What do the contact finish designations mean?

A: Contact finish designations indicate the plating material on mating contacts. "G" denotes gold finish, "L" denotes gold mating with tin post finish, "S" denotes gold mating with tin post finish, and "T" denotes tin finish on both mating and post contacts. Gold finishes provide superior corrosion resistance; tin finishes offer cost optimization for non-corrosive environments.

Q: Are all substitutes RoHS compliant?

A: Yes, all listed substitutes are ROHS3 compliant. The original 75160-118-09 is RoHS non-compliant, making these substitutes necessary for applications subject to RoHS regulations.

Q: What is the difference between HTS and TSW series?

A: HTS series uses thermoplastic insulation material, maintaining material class similarity to the original part. TSW series uses polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) insulation, offering improved thermal and mechanical properties. Both are functionally compatible with the original part.

Q: Does the MTLW-109-07-F-S-250 offer any advantages?

A: Yes, MTLW-109-07-F-S-250 features liquid crystal polymer insulation with enhanced thermal performance (-55°C to 125°C), higher current rating (5.2A per contact), and improved dimensional stability. The reduced insulation height (0.060") may require PCB layout verification in space-constrained applications.

Q: What packaging options are available?

A: HTS series is supplied in tube packaging. TSW and MTLW series are supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging selection depends on production volume and inventory management requirements.
