Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The substitute part 87606-402LF is identified as a direct manufacturer alternative within the Amphenol ICC portfolio. Substitution compatibility is determined by the following critical parameters:

Matching Parameters:

• Pitch: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Number of Rows: 2
• Row Spacing: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Termination: Solder
• Manufacturer: Amphenol ICC (FCI)
• HTSUS Code: 8536.69.4040
• ECCN: EAR99
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

Differing Parameters: The substitute part 87606-402LF operates as a receptacle connector with 4 positions, compared to the 60-position header configuration of the main part. This represents a different connector topology and position count, requiring careful evaluation of application requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 76745-168-60 is classified as obsolete, necessitating evaluation of alternatives for new designs and ongoing production support. The substitute part 87606-402LF is an active product from the same manufacturer, offering improved regulatory compliance through RoHS certification.

Key considerations for selection:

Regulatory Compliance: The substitute part 87606-402LF meets RoHS requirements, whereas the main part does not. For applications subject to RoHS directives, the substitute represents the compliant option.

Product Availability: The main part is obsolete with limited inventory (1125 pcs). The substitute is active with current production status (684 pcs in stock), ensuring long-term availability.

Connector Configuration: The main part is a 60-position header; the substitute is a 4-position receptacle. These represent different connector topologies and are not interchangeable without circuit redesign.

Contact Finish: The main part features gold GXT™ plating (30.0µin); the substitute uses tin plating (78.7µin). Contact finish selection depends on application requirements for corrosion resistance and mating cycle durability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 87606-402LF directly replace the 76745-168-60 in existing designs?

A: No. The 87606-402LF is a 4-position receptacle connector, while the 76745-168-60 is a 60-position header. These represent different connector types and position counts, requiring circuit redesign for compatibility.

Q: What is the significance of the pitch and row spacing parameters in substitution?

A: Pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm) and row spacing determine the physical spacing between contacts and rows. Both parts share identical pitch and row spacing, which is a prerequisite for any potential substitution consideration. However, position count and connector type must also align with application requirements.

Q: Why is the 76745-168-60 classified as obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence is determined by the manufacturer based on market demand and production decisions. The 76745-168-60 is no longer in active production, making the active substitute 87606-402LF the recommended option for new designs requiring Amphenol ICC rectangular connectors in this pitch family.

Q: What are the implications of RoHS compliance differences?

A: The main part (76745-168-60) is RoHS non-compliant, while the substitute (87606-402LF) is RoHS compliant. For applications subject to RoHS directives or customer requirements, the compliant substitute is the appropriate selection.

Q: How do contact finish specifications affect connector performance?

A: Contact finish (gold vs. tin) and thickness influence corrosion resistance, mating cycle durability, and electrical performance. The main part uses gold GXT™ (30.0µin); the substitute uses tin (78.7µin). Selection depends on environmental conditions and application-specific requirements.

Q: Are both parts suitable for through-hole PCB mounting?

A: Yes. Both the 76745-168-60 and 87606-402LF are through-hole mount connectors with solder termination, compatible with standard PCB assembly processes.
