Amphenol ICC 75160-118-09LF Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 75160-118-09LF 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 phosphor bronze contacts and is rated for 5A at 110V across an operating temperature range of -65°C to 130°C. The part is currently obsolete, necessitating identification of functionally equivalent alternatives that maintain compatibility with existing PCB designs while meeting current component availability and compliance requirements.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 75160-118-09LF is determined by the following critical parameters that must remain constant:

Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Header with male pins, 9 positions, single row
Pitch & Spacing: 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch for PCB footprint compatibility
Mounting & Termination: Through-hole solder termination for direct PCB integration
Electrical Performance: Current and voltage ratings must meet or exceed application requirements
Environmental Compliance: RoHS and REACH status for regulatory alignment
Mechanical Compatibility: Overall contact length, insulation height, and contact shape affect mating interface

The substitute parts listed below maintain these core parameters while offering active product status and improved availability. Variations in contact finish (gold vs. tin), contact material composition, and specific contact dimensions are secondary parameters that do not prevent functional substitution when electrical and mechanical interfaces remain compatible.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All listed substitute parts maintain active product status and meet current RoHS3 compliance requirements, eliminating obsolescence risk. The Preci-Dip 350 and 800 series connectors offer REACH Unaffected status, providing regulatory advantage over the original REACH Affected component.

For applications requiring maximum electrical performance compatibility: The Samtec HTS-109-G-A, HTS-109-G-A-1, and HTS-109-G-A-2 connectors maintain gold contact finish consistent with the original part and are available in high inventory quantities (728–1065 units).

For cost-optimized substitution with maintained compliance: Preci-Dip 350-80 series (tin-plated variants) and 800-80 series provide equivalent mechanical and electrical function at reduced material cost while maintaining UL94 V-0 flammability rating and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity classification.

For applications with press-fit assembly requirements: Preci-Dip 350-10-109-01-666101 and 350-80-109-01-666101 support both press-fit and solder termination, offering assembly flexibility not present in solder-only alternatives.

For extended temperature range applications: Note that substitute parts operate at -55°C to 125°C, which is narrower than the original -65°C to 130°C range. Applications requiring the full original temperature envelope should evaluate thermal performance requirements against substitute specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Preci-Dip 350 series replace the Amphenol ICC 75160-118-09LF directly on existing PCBs?

A: Yes. The 350 series maintains 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, 9-position single-row configuration, through-hole solder termination, and unshrouded push-pull fastening. PCB footprints designed for the 75160-118-09LF are mechanically compatible with all listed Preci-Dip alternatives.

Q: What is the difference between the Preci-Dip 350-10 and 350-80 series?

A: The primary difference is contact finish. The 350-10 series uses gold plating (10.0µin thickness), while the 350-80 series uses tin plating. Both maintain identical pitch, position count, and electrical ratings. Selection depends on application corrosion resistance requirements and cost constraints.

Q: Are the Samtec HTS-109 variants electrically equivalent to the Preci-Dip alternatives?

A: The Samtec HTS-109-G-A, HTS-109-G-A-1, and HTS-109-G-A-2 connectors share the same 9-position, 0.100" pitch, through-hole solder configuration. Electrical specifications are not fully detailed in the provided data; however, all three variants are active products with ROHS3 compliance and gold contact finish, making them functionally compatible for board-to-board applications.

Q: Does the change from phosphor bronze (original) to brass (substitutes) affect performance?

A: Brass and phosphor bronze both provide adequate electrical conductivity and mechanical durability for standard board-to-board connector applications. The contact finish (gold or tin) is the primary factor determining corrosion resistance and long-term reliability. Material composition differences do not prevent functional substitution.

Q: What is the significance of the -01-666101 suffix in Preci-Dip part numbers?

A: The -01-666101 suffix indicates press-fit termination capability in addition to solder termination. Parts with this designation (350-10-109-01-666101 and 350-80-109-01-666101) support both assembly methods, providing manufacturing flexibility. Parts without this suffix support solder termination only.

Q: Are all substitute parts available in equivalent packaging quantities?

A: Inventory levels vary. Preci-Dip 350-10-109-01-666101 offers the highest availability (1130 units), while Preci-Dip 350-80-109-00-013101 offers lower availability (627 units). Samtec HTS-109-G-A-1 provides 1034 units. Verify current stock status with component suppliers for production requirements.

Q: Can I use tin-plated contacts (350-80 series) in applications originally designed for gold-plated contacts?

A: Tin plating is suitable for most standard applications but offers different corrosion resistance characteristics than gold. Applications involving high humidity, corrosive environments, or extended storage periods should retain gold-plated alternatives. For standard indoor electronics, tin-plated substitutes are functionally equivalent.
