Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Amphenol ICC 85674-161 is determined by strict alignment of the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Number of Positions: 30
• Pitch: 0.079" (2.00mm)
• Number of Rows: 5
• Connector Type: Header, Male Pins
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Termination: Press-Fit
• Contact Finish: Gold
• Contact Finish Thickness: 30.0µin (0.76µm)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 125°C
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0

The 3M MP2-H030-51P1-S-KR qualifies as a direct substitute based on full alignment with all critical parameters. While the substitute part offers enhanced current rating (1.5A vs. 1A) and improved compliance status (RoHS Compliant vs. non-compliant), the core electrical and mechanical specifications remain compatible for applications originally designed for the 85674-161.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 3M MP2-H030-51P1-S-KR is the qualified substitute for the obsolete Amphenol ICC 85674-161. Selection is based on the following engineering criteria:

Compliance and Availability: The substitute part is in active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity. The 3M part achieves RoHS Compliance, providing regulatory advantage for new designs and system upgrades, whereas the original part is RoHS non-compliant.

Electrical and Mechanical Compatibility: All critical parameters align precisely between the original and substitute part. The enhanced current rating of 1.5A on the substitute part provides additional design margin without introducing incompatibility.

Certification and Standards: Both parts maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating and identical operating temperature specifications (-55°C ~ 125°C), ensuring thermal and safety performance equivalence.

Packaging and Handling: The substitute part is supplied in tube packaging with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity level, matching the original part's handling requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 3M MP2-H030-51P1-S-KR be used as a direct replacement for the Amphenol ICC 85674-161 in existing PCB designs?

A: Yes. The substitute part matches all critical electrical and mechanical parameters, including position count, pitch, row configuration, mounting type, termination method, and contact specifications. PCB footprints designed for the 85674-161 are compatible with the MP2-H030-51P1-S-KR without modification.

Q: What is the significance of the higher current rating on the substitute part?

A: The 3M substitute provides 1.5A current rating compared to the original 1A rating. This represents improved performance margin and does not create incompatibility. Applications designed for 1A operation will function within the substitute part's specifications.

Q: Does the RoHS Compliance status of the substitute part affect compatibility?

A: No. RoHS Compliance is a regulatory and environmental attribute that does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. The substitute part's improved compliance status is an advantage for system upgrades and new production runs.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the original and substitute part?

A: The substitute part is supplied in tube packaging, whereas packaging information for the original part was not specified. Both parts maintain identical MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity levels, indicating equivalent handling and storage requirements.

Q: What connector style differences exist between these parts?

A: The original Amphenol ICC part is from the Metral® series, while the substitute is from the 3M MetPak™ MP2 series with Futurebus+® connector style. The Futurebus+® designation indicates the substitute includes board guide and mating guide features, providing enhanced mechanical alignment during mating operations.

Q: Is the substitute part suitable for legacy equipment repair applications?

A: Yes. The substitute part's active production status and full parameter compatibility make it suitable for repair and maintenance of systems originally designed with the 85674-161. The improved RoHS Compliance and enhanced current rating provide additional benefits for long-term system reliability.
