Amphenol ICC 78299-514 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 78299-514 is a rectangular connector header designed for through-hole, right-angle board-to-board applications. This BERGSTIK® II series connector features 14 positions arranged in 2 rows with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing. The part is currently active in production with 676 units in stock. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters align with the original specification, enabling component interchangeability in applications where the primary part becomes unavailable or when design requirements permit alternative manufacturers.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 78299-514 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Connector Type: Header configuration
Contact Type: Male Pin
Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
Number of Positions: 14
Number of Rows: 2
Row Spacing - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
Mounting Type: Through Hole, Right Angle
Style: Board to Board or Board to Board/Cable compatible

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 78299-514 and 826634-7 are active production parts with identical core mating parameters. The 78299-514 maintains RoHS non-compliant status, while the 826634-7 is RoHS Compliant. Selection between these parts should be based on regulatory requirements and application compliance mandates. The 826634-7 offers broader applicability in applications requiring RoHS compliance. Both connectors meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings, suitable for standard storage and handling conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 826634-7 directly replace the Amphenol ICC 78299-514?

A: Yes, the 826634-7 meets all critical substitution parameters including mating pitch (0.100"), position count (14), row configuration (2 rows), mounting type (through-hole right-angle), and contact geometry (square male pins). Both are unshrouded headers with UL94 V-0 flammability ratings.

Q: What are the differences in contact dimensions between these parts?

A: The 826634-7 has slightly longer mating contact length (0.264" vs. 0.230") and post length (0.126" vs. 0.120"), with greater insulation height (0.219" vs. 0.190"). These dimensional variations are within typical manufacturing tolerances for equivalent connector classes and do not prevent interchangeability in standard board-to-board applications.

Q: Does RoHS compliance status affect substitution eligibility?

A: RoHS compliance is a regulatory and supply chain consideration, not a functional substitution criterion. The 826634-7 is RoHS Compliant while the 78299-514 is RoHS non-compliant. Selection depends on end-product regulatory requirements and customer specifications.

Q: Are the contact materials interchangeable?

A: The 78299-514 uses Phosphor Bronze contacts while the 826634-7 uses Brass contacts. Both materials provide adequate electrical conductivity and contact reliability for standard board-to-board interconnection. Contact finish specifications (gold plating) ensure compatible mating performance.

Q: What is the significance of the breakaway feature on the 826634-7?

A: The 826634-7 is designated as a Header, Breakaway type, indicating the connector supports both board-to-board and cable interconnection styles. The 78299-514 is specified for board-to-board style only. This additional capability in the substitute part does not prevent its use in board-to-board applications.

Q: Are moisture sensitivity levels equivalent?

A: Yes, both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) ratings, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage, handling, or assembly processes.
