Amphenol ICC 87052-418HLF Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 87052-418HLF is an 18-position rectangular connector header designed for through-hole board-to-board applications. This BERGSTIK® II series connector features a 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch with male pin contacts and tin-plated phosphor bronze construction. The part is currently active in production with 1092 units in stock. Alternative components may be required due to supply constraints, design revisions, or specific application requirements where equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are maintained.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The Samtec Inc. DW-09-11-T-D-650 qualifies as a functional equivalent based on the following critical parameters:

• Position Count & Pitch: Both parts maintain 18 positions with 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch and 0.100" (2.54mm) row spacing
• Contact Configuration: Both feature male pin contacts with tin plating on mating surfaces
• Mounting & Termination: Both are through-hole mounted with solder termination
• Electrical Ratings: Both support 5A current and 110V voltage requirements
• Compliance: Both are RoHS compliant and REACH unaffected

The primary difference lies in the physical stacking height and post length, which are application-dependent considerations. The Samtec DW-09-11-T-D-650 provides a 0.650" (16.510mm) stack height compared to the Amphenol's standard configuration, making it suitable for applications requiring specific board-to-board spacing.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Amphenol ICC 87052-418HLF and Samtec DW-09-11-T-D-650 meet the core electrical and mechanical requirements for 18-position, 2.54mm pitch header applications. Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Board-to-Board Spacing Requirements: The Samtec part specifies a 0.650" stack height, which may be critical for applications with specific PCB separation needs
• Post Length Variation: The Samtec part provides 0.170" (4.318mm) mating post length versus the Amphenol's 0.120" (3.05mm), affecting insertion depth and contact engagement
• Compliance Level: The Samtec part carries ROHS3 compliance, representing the latest RoHS directive implementation
• Inventory & Lead Time: Selection may be influenced by current stock availability and procurement timelines

Both parts maintain equivalent electrical performance at 5A/110V ratings and are suitable for direct substitution where physical dimensions align with PCB design specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Samtec DW-09-11-T-D-650 directly replace the Amphenol ICC 87052-418HLF in existing designs?

A: Direct replacement is possible if the PCB layout accommodates the dimensional differences. The Samtec part has a shorter overall pin length (0.930" vs 0.990") and longer mating post (0.170" vs 0.120"), which may affect solder joint depth and board clearance. Verify PCB hole depth and component spacing before substitution.

Q: Are there electrical compatibility concerns between these two parts?

A: No. Both parts maintain identical electrical specifications: 18 positions, 0.100" pitch, 5A current rating, and 110V voltage rating. Tin-plated contacts on both parts ensure equivalent signal integrity and contact resistance characteristics.

Q: What is the significance of the stack height specification on the Samtec part?

A: Stack height defines the distance between mating surfaces when connectors are engaged. The Samtec part's 0.650" specification is critical for applications requiring precise board-to-board spacing. The Amphenol part does not specify this parameter, requiring measurement or reference to detailed mechanical drawings.

Q: Do both parts meet current RoHS requirements?

A: Yes. The Amphenol part is RoHS Compliant, and the Samtec part is ROHS3 Compliant. Both are REACH unaffected and suitable for applications requiring RoHS certification.

Q: What packaging differences exist between these parts?

A: The Amphenol part is supplied in Bag packaging, while the Samtec part is supplied in Bulk packaging. This affects handling, storage, and quantity per container but does not impact electrical or mechanical performance.
