Equivalent & Substitute Parts for 75160-118-22LF

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 75160-118-22LF is a rectangular connector header designed for through-hole mounting applications. This 22-position, single-row connector operates at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch and features gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts rated for 5A at 110V. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for ongoing design support and procurement planning.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 75160-118-22LF is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Header with male pins, 22 positions, single row
• Pitch Specification: 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch
• Mounting & Termination: Through-hole solder termination
• Style & Fastening: Board-to-board unshrouded header with push-pull fastening
• Electrical Ratings: Current and voltage handling capacity
• Environmental Compliance: RoHS and REACH compliance status

The Mill-Max Manufacturing Corp. 800 series headers (800-10-022-10-001000 and 800-10-022-10-002000) satisfy these core substitution criteria. Both parts maintain identical connector type, position count, row configuration, pitch, mounting method, and fastening mechanism. Variations in contact geometry, material composition, and finish thickness represent acceptable engineering trade-offs within the rectangular connector category.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both Mill-Max 800 series alternatives are active production parts with superior compliance status compared to the obsolete Amphenol ICC 75160-118-22LF. The 800-10-022-10-001000 and 800-10-022-10-002000 maintain full RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, eliminating regulatory exposure associated with the original part's REACH affected classification.

The primary distinction between the two Mill-Max substitutes lies in contact mating length and overall connector height. The 800-10-022-10-001000 provides 0.195" (4.95mm) mating contact length with 0.438" (11.12mm) overall contact length, while the 800-10-022-10-002000 offers reduced mating contact length of 0.142" (3.61mm) and overall contact length of 0.385" (9.77mm). Selection between these variants depends on PCB stack-up requirements and mating depth specifications for the receiving connector.

Both substitutes employ brass alloy contacts with 10.0µin (0.25µm) gold plating, compared to the original phosphor bronze contacts with 30.0µin (0.76µm) GXT™ plating. Insulation material transitions from thermoplastic to polycyclohexylenedimethylene terephthalate (PCT), providing enhanced thermal and chemical resistance. Circular contact geometry replaces the original square design, maintaining electrical performance within the 2.54mm pitch standard.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Mill-Max 800 series headers directly replace the Amphenol ICC 75160-118-22LF in existing designs?

A: Direct mechanical and electrical substitution is supported for applications where the receiving connector accommodates the specified contact mating lengths and insulation heights. The 800-10-022-10-001000 provides contact geometry most closely aligned with the original part. Verification of mating depth and PCB stack-up compatibility is required before implementation.

Q: What is the significance of the contact finish thickness difference between the original and substitute parts?

A: The original part specifies 30.0µin (0.76µm) GXT™ gold plating, while the Mill-Max substitutes provide 10.0µin (0.25µm) standard gold plating. Both finishes satisfy corrosion resistance and electrical conductivity requirements for rectangular connector applications. The thinner finish on the substitutes reduces material cost while maintaining functional performance.

Q: How do the insulation material differences affect connector performance?

A: The original thermoplastic insulation is replaced by polycyclohexylenedimethylene terephthalate (PCT) in the Mill-Max alternatives. PCT offers superior thermal stability and chemical resistance, supporting the full operating temperature range of the original specification. This material change represents an engineering improvement over the original design.

Q: What packaging options are available for the substitute parts?

A: The 800-10-022-10-001000 is supplied in tube packaging, while the 800-10-022-10-002000 is supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging selection depends on procurement volume and assembly line requirements. Both formats maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Q: Are there compliance or regulatory considerations when transitioning from the original to substitute parts?

A: The Mill-Max substitutes provide ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, eliminating the REACH affected classification of the original Amphenol ICC part. This transition reduces regulatory documentation requirements and supply chain complexity for new designs or design revisions.

Q: How do the contact length variations between the two Mill-Max options affect connector selection?

A: The 800-10-022-10-001000 with 0.195" (4.95mm) mating contact length accommodates standard PCB-to-connector mating depths. The 800-10-022-10-002000 with 0.142" (3.61mm) mating contact length suits applications with reduced stack-up height or shallow mating requirements. Selection depends on the receiving connector specification and available PCB space.
