Amphenol ICC 85863-302 Backplane Connector Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 85863-302 is a 30-position receptacle connector with female sockets, designed for board edge, through-hole, right-angle mounting applications. This connector is part of the Metral® series and operates within a temperature range of -55°C to 105°C with a voltage rating of 1000V. The part is currently listed as obsolete, which necessitates identification of functionally equivalent alternatives for ongoing system support and new designs requiring compatible components.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the 85863-302 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type and gender (Receptacle, Female Sockets)
• Position count and arrangement (30 positions, 5 rows)
• Pitch specification (0.079" / 2.00mm)
• Mounting configuration (Board Edge, Through Hole, Right Angle)
• Electrical ratings (1A current, 1000V voltage)
• Operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C)
• Termination method (Solder)
• Flammability compliance (UL94 V-0)

The substitute part 85863-302LF maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications while differing in product status and regulatory compliance. Both parts belong to the Amphenol ICC Metral® series and share the same base product number (85863).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 85863-302LF serves as the direct functional equivalent to the obsolete 85863-302. Both connectors maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters including position count, pitch, mounting configuration, and thermal/voltage ratings.

The primary distinction between these parts is regulatory compliance status. The 85863-302LF carries RoHS Compliant certification, whereas the 85863-302 is RoHS non-compliant. For applications subject to RoHS requirements or where lead-free termination is mandated, the 85863-302LF is the appropriate selection. The 85863-302LF is currently in active production with confirmed inventory availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 85863-302LF directly replace the 85863-302 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors are electrically and mechanically identical across all specified parameters. The 85863-302LF is the active production equivalent of the obsolete 85863-302.

Q: What is the significance of the "LF" suffix in the part number?

A: The "LF" designation indicates lead-free termination and RoHS compliance. This reflects the manufacturing process and material composition rather than functional differences in connector performance.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: Yes. The 85863-302 uses standard packaging, while the 85863-302LF is supplied in tube packaging. Both packaging formats are suitable for through-hole soldering applications.

Q: Do both connectors meet the same flammability and temperature specifications?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating and operate across the identical temperature range of -55°C to 105°C.

Q: Which part should be specified for new designs?

A: The 85863-302LF should be specified for new designs. It is the active production part with current inventory and RoHS compliance certification.
