Amphenol ICC 75160-826-04 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 75160-826-04 is a rectangular connector header, through-hole mounted, with 4 positions at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch. This component is classified as obsolete, making equivalent substitute parts necessary for ongoing design support and procurement. The BERGSTIK® series connector provides board-to-board connectivity with unshrouded, push-pull fastening and solder termination. Identifying compatible alternatives ensures design continuity and supply chain flexibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 75160-826-04 are qualified based on the following critical parameters that must match or exceed the original specification:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector Type: Header
• Contact Type: Male Pin
• Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Number of Positions: 4
• Number of Rows: 1
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Termination: Solder
• Style: Board to Board (or Board to Board or Cable)
• Shrouding: Unshrouded
• Fastening Type: Push-Pull
• Contact Material: Phosphor Bronze
• Contact Shape: Square
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0

The Samtec Inc. TSW series connectors (TSW-104-17-G-S and TSW-104-17-T-S) meet all mandatory parameters. Both parts are active products with current availability, providing direct functional equivalence to the obsolete 75160-826-04.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both Samtec TSW series connectors provide functional equivalence to the obsolete Amphenol ICC 75160-826-04. Selection between the two substitute options depends on specific application requirements:

TSW-104-17-G-S (Gold Plated Mating Contacts): This variant offers gold contact finish on mating surfaces, matching the original part's gold plating specification. It supports an operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C and is ROHS3 compliant. This option is preferred for applications requiring extended temperature performance and corrosion resistance.

TSW-104-17-T-S (Tin Plated Mating Contacts): This variant features tin contact finish on mating surfaces and supports an operating temperature range of -55°C to 105°C. It is also ROHS3 compliant. This option is suitable for standard industrial applications within the specified temperature range.

Both substitute parts are active products with current inventory availability, eliminating supply chain risk associated with the obsolete original part. The Samtec connectors use PBT insulation material, which provides improved mechanical and thermal properties compared to the generic thermoplastic of the original specification. Contact length variations are minimal (within 0.015" tolerance) and do not affect functional compatibility in standard board-to-board applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the Samtec TSW-104 connectors mechanically compatible with the Amphenol ICC 75160-826-04?

A: Yes. Both substitute parts maintain identical pitch (0.100"), position count (4), row configuration (1), and contact geometry (square). Contact length variations are within acceptable tolerance for standard through-hole solder applications. The push-pull fastening mechanism and unshrouded design are identical across all three parts.

Q: What is the difference between the TSW-104-17-G-S and TSW-104-17-T-S?

A: The primary differences are contact finish and operating temperature range. The TSW-104-17-G-S uses gold plating on mating contacts and operates from -55°C to 125°C. The TSW-104-17-T-S uses tin plating on mating contacts and operates from -55°C to 105°C. Both are ROHS3 compliant and functionally equivalent for standard applications.

Q: Does the change from thermoplastic to PBT insulation material affect compatibility?

A: No. PBT (Polybutylene Terephthalate) is a superior engineering thermoplastic with better mechanical strength, thermal stability, and flame resistance. The UL94 V-0 flammability rating is maintained across all parts. This material upgrade does not introduce compatibility issues.

Q: Are there RoHS compliance considerations when substituting the 75160-826-04?

A: Yes. The original Amphenol ICC part is RoHS non-compliant, while both Samtec substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant. If your application or end-market requires RoHS compliance, the Samtec alternatives provide regulatory alignment. If legacy RoHS non-compliant designs are required, the original part may still be sourced from existing inventory.

Q: What is the inventory status of these substitute parts?

A: The TSW-104-17-G-S has 1,388 pieces in stock, and the TSW-104-17-T-S has 2,603 pieces in stock. Both are active products with ongoing manufacturing support, ensuring long-term availability compared to the obsolete original part.

Q: Can these connectors be used in cable-to-board applications?

A: The Samtec TSW series supports both board-to-board and cable applications, providing greater application flexibility than the original part specification, which is limited to board-to-board style.
