Amphenol ICC 79258-104 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 79258-104 is a rectangular connector header, right-angle configuration, with 4 positions at 2.54mm pitch. This component is classified as obsolete, making equivalent and substitute parts necessary for ongoing production and maintenance applications. The connector features through-hole solder termination, unshrouded design, and male pin contacts suitable for board-to-board connections. Substitute parts must maintain electrical and mechanical compatibility while meeting current product availability and compliance requirements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 79258-104 is determined by strict adherence to the following parameters:

Critical Parameters (Must Match):

• Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Number of Positions: 4
• Number of Rows: 2
• Row Spacing - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Connector Type: Header
• Contact Type: Male Pin
• Mounting Type: Through Hole, Right Angle
• Termination: Solder
• Contact Shape: Square
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
• Insulation Color: Black

Acceptable Variations:

• Contact Length - Post: Minor variations permitted (0.110" to 0.405")
• Insulation Height: Minor variations permitted (0.190" to 0.240")
• Contact Finish - Mating: Gold or Gold, GXT™ acceptable
• Manufacturer: Different manufacturers acceptable if parameters match
• Product Status: Active status preferred over obsolete

The substitute parts listed below meet all critical parameters and are therefore electrically and mechanically compatible with the 79258-104.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: 68022-104HLF (Amphenol ICC)

The 68022-104HLF is the direct equivalent from the same manufacturer (Amphenol ICC, FCI series). This part maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the 79258-104 while offering active product status and RoHS compliance. The minor variation in insulation height (0.240" versus 0.190") and contact post length (0.110" versus 0.120") does not affect functional compatibility. This part is recommended as the first choice for direct replacement.

Secondary Substitutes: 929745 Series (3M)

The 3M 929745 series parts (929745-01-02-I, 929745-01-02-EU, 929745-02-02-I, 929745-02-02-EU) provide alternative sources from a different manufacturer. All variants maintain the critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary distinction within this series is contact post length: the 929745-01-02 variants feature 0.110" post length, while 929745-02-02 variants feature 0.405" post length. Selection between these variants depends on application-specific board thickness and mating connector depth requirements. All 3M variants are RoHS compliant and carry active product status.

Compliance Consideration:

The original 79258-104 is RoHS non-compliant. All substitute parts listed are RoHS compliant, making them suitable for applications requiring regulatory compliance with current environmental standards.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 68022-104HLF directly replace the 79258-104 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 68022-104HLF maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters required for direct substitution. The minor variations in insulation height and contact post length do not affect mating compatibility or electrical performance.

Q: What is the difference between the 929745-01-02 and 929745-02-02 variants?

A: The primary difference is contact post length. The 929745-01-02 series has 0.110" post length, suitable for standard PCB applications. The 929745-02-02 series has 0.405" post length, suitable for applications requiring extended post engagement or thicker board materials. Both variants are electrically and mechanically compatible with the 79258-104 mating interface.

Q: Are there regional differences between the -I and -EU variants of the 3M 929745 series?

A: The -I and -EU designations indicate regional packaging and compliance variations. Both variants maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between them depends on regional supply chain and compliance requirements.

Q: Does the change from Phosphor Bronze (79258-104) to Copper Alloy (3M 929745 series) contacts affect performance?

A: Both contact materials meet the specified electrical and mechanical requirements for this connector category. The contact material difference does not affect mating compatibility or electrical performance in standard applications.

Q: Why is RoHS compliance important for this substitution?

A: The original 79258-104 is RoHS non-compliant. All substitute parts are RoHS compliant, ensuring compatibility with current manufacturing regulations and environmental standards. This is particularly important for new designs and applications subject to regulatory requirements.

Q: Can multiple substitute parts be used interchangeably within a single design?

A: Yes, all listed substitute parts maintain the critical parameters required for functional compatibility. However, consistency in contact post length selection (0.110" versus 0.405") should be maintained across a design to ensure uniform mating depth and engagement characteristics.
