Amphenol ICC 86381-105 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 86381-105 is a rectangular connector header, right-angle configuration, with 5 positions at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch. This component is classified as obsolete, making equivalent substitutes necessary for new designs and ongoing production support. The BERGSTIK® II series connector provides board-to-board connectivity through press-fit and solder termination methods with gold-plated mating contacts.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 86381-105 are selected based on the following critical parameters that determine functional compatibility:

• Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm) — must match exactly
• Number of Rows: 2 — must match exactly
• Row Spacing - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm) — must match exactly
• Mounting Type: Through Hole, Right Angle — must match exactly
• Contact Type: Male Pin — must match exactly
• Contact Material: Phosphor Bronze — must match exactly
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0 — must match exactly
• Insulation Color: Black — must match exactly

The substitute parts listed (PBC05DGAN, PBC05DGBN, PEC05DGAN, PEC05DGBN) are 10-position headers from Sullins Connector Solutions. These parts maintain the same pitch, row configuration, mounting method, and material specifications as the original 86381-105. The increased position count (10 vs. 5) does not prevent substitution; breakaway headers allow selective use of individual positions. All substitutes feature phosphor bronze contacts with UL94 V-0 flammability rating and black insulation, ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility with the original design.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For new designs and production applications requiring the 86381-105 functionality, the following selection criteria apply:

PBC05DGAN and PEC05DGBN are recommended as primary substitutes. Both parts maintain active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain stability. PBC05DGAN features gold-plated mating contacts, providing closer electrical performance alignment with the original gold-finished 86381-105. PEC05DGBN offers tin-plated mating contacts with equivalent electrical performance for applications where contact finish variation is acceptable.

PBC05DGBN and PEC05DGAN are secondary options. Both parts are discontinued at DiGi Electronics, indicating reduced availability and potential supply constraints. These parts should be selected only when primary substitutes are unavailable or when specific contact finish requirements (gold or tin) mandate their use.

All four substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant, addressing the RoHS non-compliance status of the original 86381-105. This compliance improvement is beneficial for applications subject to environmental regulations. All substitutes operate across the -65°C to 125°C temperature range and support 3A current rating, providing adequate electrical performance for standard board-to-board interconnection applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 10-position substitute headers replace the 5-position original part?

A: Yes. The substitute parts are breakaway headers, allowing selective use of individual positions. The mechanical footprint and electrical characteristics remain compatible with the original 5-position design. Unused positions can remain unpopulated or be mechanically separated if required by the application.

Q: What is the difference between gold-plated and tin-plated contact finishes?

A: Gold-plated contacts (PBC05DGAN, PBC05DGBN) provide superior corrosion resistance and lower contact resistance, making them suitable for high-reliability applications. Tin-plated contacts (PEC05DGAN, PEC05DGBN) offer adequate performance for standard industrial applications at lower cost. Both finishes are compatible with standard PCB assembly processes.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. All four substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant, whereas the original 86381-105 is RoHS non-compliant. This compliance improvement is mandatory for applications subject to EU RoHS directives or equivalent environmental regulations.

Q: What is the difference between active and discontinued product status?

A: Active products (PBC05DGAN, PEC05DGBN) are currently manufactured and distributed, ensuring reliable long-term availability. Discontinued products (PBC05DGBN, PEC05DGAN) are no longer actively produced, creating potential supply constraints. For new designs, active products are preferred to minimize supply chain risk.

Q: Can I use these headers for both board-to-board and cable applications?

A: Yes. All substitute parts support both board-to-board and cable connection styles, providing design flexibility. The right-angle through-hole mounting accommodates standard PCB assembly processes for both application types.

Q: What is the contact length difference between substitute parts?

A: Substitute parts vary in post length: PBC05DGAN and PEC05DGAN feature 0.100" (2.54mm) post length, while PBC05DGBN and PEC05DGBN feature 0.200" (5.08mm) post length. Post length selection depends on PCB thickness and assembly requirements. Both lengths are compatible with standard through-hole soldering processes.
