Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the 861400081YO2 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility:

• Pitch: 0.100" (2.54mm) - must match exactly
• Number of Positions: 8
• Contact Type: Male Pin
• Voltage Rating: minimum 1000V
• Current Rating: minimum 3A

Mechanical Compatibility:

• Connector Type: Header, Breakaway
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Termination: Solder
• Fastening Type: Push-Pull
• Style: Board to Board

Environmental & Regulatory:

• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

Substitute parts must maintain these core parameters. Variations in contact length, insulation height, contact finish composition, and operating temperature ranges are acceptable provided the mating pitch and electrical ratings remain within specification. The transition from RoHS non-compliant to RoHS compliant alternatives reflects current manufacturing standards while preserving functional equivalence.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Amphenol ICC Replacement: 861400081YO2LF is the active equivalent from the original manufacturer. This part maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications while achieving RoHS compliance. Selection of this part eliminates any design verification requirements and preserves the original BERGSTIK® series characteristics.

Multi-Manufacturer Alternatives: The following parts provide functional equivalence with active product status and established supply chains:

Molex 0901200128 (C-Grid III 90120 series) offers ROHS3 compliance with 4914 units in stock. This part features tin-plated contacts and brass material composition, suitable for general-purpose and automotive applications.

3M 2308-6211-TG (2300 series) provides gold-plated mating contacts with 3A current rating and active status. This connector includes glass-filled thermoplastic insulation and is available with 976 units in stock.

TE Connectivity 87220-8 and 87224-8 (AMPMODU Mod II series) both feature phosphor bronze contacts with gold plating and RoHS compliance. These parts support extended operating temperature ranges (-65°C to 105°C) and maintain 3A current ratings. The 87224-8 variant has higher inventory availability (2140 units).

3M 929 series connectors (929647-01-08-EU, 929647-03-08-I, 929834-01-08-RK) provide breakaway header functionality with RoHS compliance. These parts feature 2.5A current ratings and are suitable for board-to-board applications. The 929834-01-08-RK variant offers tin-plated contacts with 2189 units in stock.

Samtec EW-08-09-F-S-248 (Flex Stack, EW series) is a spacer connector variant with ROHS3 compliance and 979 units in stock. This part accommodates stacking applications with 0.248" stack height.

Compliance Considerations: Parts with RoHS or ROHS3 compliance are recommended for new designs and applications subject to regulatory requirements. The original 861400081YO2 is RoHS non-compliant; all active substitutes listed above meet current compliance standards.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use any of these substitute parts as a direct replacement for the 861400081YO2?

A: All listed substitute parts maintain the critical parameters required for functional equivalence: 8 positions, 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, male pin contacts, through-hole mounting, solder termination, and push-pull fastening. The 861400081YO2LF is the direct manufacturer equivalent. Other substitutes require verification that contact length, insulation height, and operating temperature ranges are acceptable for your specific application.

Q: What is the difference between the 861400081YO2 and 861400081YO2LF?

A: The 861400081YO2LF is the active production equivalent with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary difference is RoHS compliance status: the original part is RoHS non-compliant, while the YO2LF variant is RoHS compliant. Both parts are from Amphenol ICC BERGSTIK® series and maintain the same 3A current rating and 1000V voltage rating.

Q: Are there differences in contact finish between substitute options?

A: Yes. The original 861400081YO2 features gold or gold GXT™ plating. Substitute parts vary: Amphenol ICC and 3M 2300 series use gold finish; TE Connectivity AMPMODU Mod II series uses gold with phosphor bronze contacts; Molex 0901200128 uses tin finish; 3M 929 series variants offer both gold (929647 series) and tin (929834-01-08-RK) options. Contact finish selection depends on application requirements for corrosion resistance and electrical performance.

Q: What is the significance of the 2.5A current rating in 3M 929 series parts?

A: The 929 series connectors are rated for 2.5A, which is lower than the original 861400081YO2 specification of 3A. These parts are suitable for applications requiring 2.5A or less. For applications requiring the full 3A rating, select alternatives with 3A or higher ratings: 861400081YO2LF, 2308-6211-TG, 87220-8, or 87224-8.

Q: How do operating temperature ranges affect substitution?

A: The original 861400081YO2 does not specify an operating temperature range. Active substitutes range from -40°C to 105°C (3M 929 series) to -65°C to 105°C (TE Connectivity AMPMODU Mod II series). For applications requiring extended low-temperature operation, TE Connectivity parts provide superior performance. For standard industrial applications, all listed substitutes are acceptable.

Q: What packaging options are available?

A: All substitute parts listed are supplied in bulk packaging. The original 861400081YO2 packaging type is not specified. Bulk packaging is standard for these connector types and is suitable for manufacturing and assembly operations.

Q: Is the Samtec EW-08-09-F-S-248 a suitable replacement?

A: The Samtec part is a spacer connector variant with 0.248" stack height, designed for stacking applications. While it maintains the core 8-position, 0.100" pitch, male pin configuration, the spacer design and different contact length profile make it suitable only for applications specifically requiring stacking capability. For standard board-to-board applications, other substitutes are more appropriate.
