Amphenol ICC 86385-472H Rectangular Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 86385-472H is a through-hole, right-angle rectangular connector header with 72 positions at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch. This BERGSTIK® II series connector is designed for board-to-board applications requiring reliable solder termination and push-pull fastening. The part is currently active in production with 813 units in stock. Substitute parts are identified to provide alternative sourcing options when the primary part is unavailable or when design requirements necessitate different contact materials, finishes, or operating specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Amphenol ICC 86385-472H is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Contact Type: Must be Header with Male Pin configuration
• Position Count & Row Configuration: Must maintain 72 positions in 2-row arrangement
• Pitch Specification: Mating pitch and row spacing must both be 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Mounting & Termination: Must support through-hole, right-angle mounting with solder termination
• Fastening Mechanism: Must utilize push-pull fastening
• Shrouding & Style: Must be unshrouded, board-to-board style connector
• Contact Material & Shape: Must use phosphor bronze with square contact geometry
• Flammability Compliance: Must meet UL94 V-0 rating

The Samtec Inc. TSW-136-10-G-D-RA satisfies all mandatory substitution criteria. Variations in contact finish (gold vs. tin), contact dimensions, insulation material, operating temperature range, and RoHS compliance status are secondary parameters that do not prevent functional substitution but require engineering evaluation for specific application requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Amphenol ICC 86385-472H and Samtec Inc. TSW-136-10-G-D-RA are active production parts meeting UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity specifications. Selection between these parts depends on application-specific compliance and environmental requirements:

Amphenol ICC 86385-472H is suitable for applications where RoHS non-compliance is acceptable and tin contact finish with thicker plating (100.0µin) is preferred for cost optimization or specific solderability requirements.

Samtec Inc. TSW-136-10-G-D-RA is required for applications mandating ROHS3 compliance. The gold contact finish (10.0µin) provides enhanced corrosion resistance and contact reliability in high-reliability applications. The specified operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C and PBT insulation material provide additional environmental performance data. The longer post length (0.390" vs. 0.120") accommodates thicker PCB assemblies or applications requiring extended solder joint engagement.

Both parts share identical pitch, position count, mounting orientation, and fastening mechanism, ensuring mechanical and electrical interchangeability within the specified parameter constraints.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the Amphenol ICC 86385-472H and Samtec TSW-136-10-G-D-RA mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors maintain identical mating pitch (0.100"), position count (72), row configuration (2 rows), mounting type (through-hole right-angle), and fastening mechanism (push-pull). Mechanical interchangeability is confirmed.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two connector models?

A: The primary differences are contact finish material (tin vs. gold), contact finish thickness, post length, insulation material specification, operating temperature range documentation, and RoHS compliance status. The Samtec part provides ROHS3 compliance and gold plating for enhanced corrosion resistance.

Q: Can I use the Samtec TSW-136-10-G-D-RA as a direct replacement in an existing design using the Amphenol ICC 86385-472H?

A: Electrical and mechanical substitution is valid. However, the longer post length (0.390" vs. 0.120") must be verified against PCB thickness and assembly clearance requirements. The gold contact finish and PBT insulation material may affect soldering characteristics and thermal performance compared to the original design.

Q: Does the difference in contact finish thickness affect connector performance?

A: Contact finish thickness affects corrosion resistance and contact wear characteristics. The Samtec part's thinner gold plating (10.0µin) is standard for gold-plated connectors and provides adequate protection for most applications. The Amphenol part's thicker tin plating (100.0µin) offers different solderability and oxidation resistance profiles.

Q: Which part should I select for a new design?

A: Selection depends on regulatory requirements and environmental conditions. For RoHS3-compliant designs or applications requiring enhanced corrosion resistance and documented operating temperature range, select the Samtec TSW-136-10-G-D-RA. For cost-optimized designs where RoHS compliance is not required, the Amphenol ICC 86385-472H is suitable.

Q: Are both parts available in the same packaging format?

A: Yes. Both parts are supplied in bulk packaging, consistent with standard connector distribution practices.
