Amphenol ICC 87036-504H Rectangular Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 87036-504H is an active rectangular connector header designed for through-hole board-to-board applications. This unshrouded, 4-position connector operates at a 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch and features press-fit and solder termination options. The connector is part of the BERGSTIK® II series and maintains UL94 V-0 material flammability compliance. Finding equivalent substitute parts is necessary to ensure design flexibility, manage supply chain continuity, and accommodate alternative sourcing strategies while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 87036-504H are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter alignment. The primary substitution criteria include:

• Connector type (Header)
• Contact type (Male Pin)
• Pitch specification (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Position count (4 positions)
• Row configuration (1 row)
• Mounting method (Through Hole)
• Overall contact length (0.830" / 21.08mm)
• Insulation height (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Contact shape (Square)
• Material flammability compliance (UL94 V-0)

The Samtec TSW-104-17-T-S meets all these critical parameters, establishing it as a valid equivalent substitute. Both connectors maintain identical pitch, position count, row configuration, mounting type, and physical dimensions. Both achieve UL94 V-0 flammability compliance and operate with unlimited moisture sensitivity levels.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Amphenol ICC 87036-504H and Samtec TSW-104-17-T-S are active products suitable for rectangular connector header applications. The Samtec TSW-104-17-T-S offers ROHS3 compliance, providing an advantage for applications requiring RoHS3 certification. The Amphenol ICC 87036-504H is RoHS non-compliant and should be selected only when RoHS compliance is not a design requirement.

Both connectors share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters. Selection between these parts should be based on compliance requirements, supply chain availability, and design specifications for RoHS adherence. The Samtec part supports both board-to-board and cable applications, offering broader application flexibility compared to the Amphenol ICC part, which is specified for board-to-board style only.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What makes the Samtec TSW-104-17-T-S a valid substitute for the Amphenol ICC 87036-504H?

A: Both connectors share identical pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm), position count (4), row configuration (1 row), mounting type (through hole), contact shape (square), overall contact length (0.830" / 21.08mm), insulation height (0.100" / 2.54mm), contact material (phosphor bronze), and material flammability rating (UL94 V-0). These parameters establish mechanical and electrical compatibility for direct substitution.

Q: Are there differences in termination methods between these connectors?

A: The Amphenol ICC 87036-504H supports both press-fit and solder termination. The Samtec TSW-104-17-T-S supports solder termination only. Applications requiring press-fit termination must use the Amphenol ICC part.

Q: What is the significance of the RoHS compliance difference?

A: The Samtec TSW-104-17-T-S is ROHS3 compliant, while the Amphenol ICC 87036-504H is RoHS non-compliant. Applications subject to RoHS3 regulations must use the Samtec part. Applications without RoHS requirements can use either connector.

Q: Do these connectors support the same application styles?

A: The Amphenol ICC 87036-504H is specified for board-to-board style applications. The Samtec TSW-104-17-T-S supports both board-to-board and cable applications, providing broader application flexibility.

Q: Are the contact dimensions identical between these parts?

A: Contact length specifications differ slightly. The Amphenol ICC 87036-504H has a mating contact length of 0.610" (15.49mm) and post length of 0.120" (3.05mm). The Samtec TSW-104-17-T-S has a mating contact length of 0.620" (15.75mm) and post length of 0.110" (2.79mm). Both maintain the same overall contact length of 0.830" (21.08mm), ensuring mechanical compatibility.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for both connectors?

A: Both connectors have a Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.
