Amphenol ICC 8638PPC4006LF D-Sub Male Pin Contact Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 8638PPC4006LF is an active D-Sub contact male pin designed for power applications. This machined contact accommodates 8-10 AWG wire gauges and uses crimp termination with gold plating on a copper alloy base. The component is RoHS compliant and classified as MSL 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity). Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are maintained across wire gauge, contact type, termination method, and material specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 8638PPC4006LF is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

• Wire gauge range: 8-10 AWG
• Contact type: Male pin
• Termination method: Crimp
• Contact form: Machined
• Base material: Copper alloy
• Contact finish: Gold plating
• Application classification: Power
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliant status

The identified substitute part maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters required for direct functional replacement. Packaging format differences (Tape & Reel versus Bulk) do not affect component interchangeability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 8638PPC4006LF and 131A11049X meet the core substitution criteria for D-Sub male pin contacts in power applications. The main part is actively produced by Amphenol ICC (FCI) with RoHS compliance. The substitute part 131A11049X is manufactured by Amphenol CONEC and maintains ROHS3 compliance status, representing an enhanced regulatory position. Both components share identical wire gauge accommodation (8-10 AWG), crimp termination, machined contact form, and copper alloy base material with gold plating.

The termination finish differs between the two parts: the main part uses tin termination while the substitute uses gold termination. This difference does not affect functional interchangeability for the specified wire gauge and application class. Packaging format selection (Tape & Reel versus Bulk) should be determined by assembly process requirements rather than electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 131A11049X substitute for the 8638PPC4006LF in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain equivalent wire gauge (8-10 AWG), contact type (male pin), termination method (crimp), contact form (machined), base material (copper alloy), and contact finish (gold flash). Both are RoHS compliant and rated MSL 1.

Q: What is the difference in termination finish between these parts?

A: The 8638PPC4006LF uses tin termination finish while the 131A11049X uses gold termination finish. Both finishes are applied to the crimp barrel and do not affect the functional performance for the specified wire gauge range.

Q: Are there packaging considerations for substitution?

A: The main part is supplied in Tape & Reel format while the substitute is supplied in Bulk packaging. Packaging format does not affect component interchangeability. Selection should align with assembly line requirements and handling procedures.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory standards?

A: The 8638PPC4006LF is RoHS compliant. The 131A11049X is ROHS3 compliant, which represents current regulatory requirements. Both parts are classified as ECCN EAR99 and share the same HTSUS code (8536.90.4000).

Q: What wire gauges are supported by these contacts?

A: Both the 8638PPC4006LF and 131A11049X are rated for 8-10 AWG wire gauges. This range must be maintained during application to ensure proper crimp termination and electrical performance.
