Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Amphenol ICC 85853-521 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Matching Criteria:

• Number of Positions: 60
• Pitch: 0.079" (2.00mm)
• Number of Rows: 5
• Connector Type: Header, Male Pins
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Termination: Press-Fit
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 125°C
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0

Secondary Compatibility Factors:

• Contact Finish: Gold plating
• Color: Natural
• Packaging: Tube
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors part 5223002-2 qualifies as a manufacturer-recommended substitute because it matches all primary criteria. This part maintains the same electrical and mechanical interface specifications, allowing direct functional replacement in applications where the connector footprint and pin configuration are the determining factors.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Amphenol ICC 85853-521 Selection: Use this part when RoHS non-compliance is acceptable for your application and when the Metral® series connector styling is specified. The part is actively produced with strong inventory availability.

TE Connectivity 5223002-2 Selection: Select this substitute when ROHS3 compliance is required. The part maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications with the same operating temperature range and flammability rating. The Futurebus connector style and Z-PACK series designation indicate this part is designed for the same backplane connector application class. Both parts are actively produced with comparable inventory levels.

The substitution is valid based on matching connector position count, pitch, row configuration, mounting method, termination type, and thermal operating range. The primary differentiator is RoHS compliance status, which should be evaluated against your specific regulatory and procurement requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 5223002-2 be used as a direct replacement for the Amphenol ICC 85853-521?

A: Yes, the TE Connectivity 5223002-2 qualifies as a direct functional replacement. Both parts share identical position count (60), pitch (0.079" / 2.00mm), row configuration (5 rows), mounting type (through hole), termination method (press-fit), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C). The connector footprint and pin interface are compatible.

Q: What is the key difference between these two parts?

A: The primary difference is RoHS compliance status. The Amphenol ICC 85853-521 is RoHS non-compliant, while the TE Connectivity 5223002-2 is ROHS3 compliant. Additionally, the TE part specifies a 30V voltage rating, whereas the Amphenol part does not provide a voltage specification. Both parts maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating and identical thermal specifications.

Q: Are the connector styles interchangeable?

A: The Amphenol ICC 85853-521 uses the Metral® series styling, while the TE Connectivity 5223002-2 uses Futurebus styling with Z-PACK series designation. Despite different series names, both are 60-position backplane connector headers with identical electrical and mechanical interface parameters, making them functionally interchangeable for PCB mounting applications.

Q: What packaging is available for both parts?

A: Both parts are supplied in tube packaging, which is standard for backplane connector headers. Inventory is available from both manufacturers, with the Amphenol part showing 924 units in stock and the TE part showing 823 units in stock.

Q: Should I consider the voltage rating difference when selecting a substitute?

A: The TE Connectivity 5223002-2 specifies a 30V voltage rating. If your application requires voltage rating confirmation, the TE part provides this specification. The Amphenol ICC 85853-521 does not specify a voltage rating in the available data. Verify your application voltage requirements against the specified 30V rating of the TE part.

Q: Are both parts suitable for high-temperature applications?

A: Yes, both parts are rated for the same operating temperature range of -55°C ~ 125°C and carry UL94 V-0 material flammability rating, making them suitable for industrial and high-reliability applications within this thermal envelope.
