Amphenol ICC 87180-344 Modular Connector Jack 4P4C RJ9/RJ10/RJ22 90° Unshielded

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 87180-344 is a modular connector jack with 4 positions and 4 contacts (4P4C), compatible with RJ9, RJ10, and RJ22 standards. This connector features a 90° right-angle orientation, through-hole solder termination, and unshielded design rated for Category 3 applications. The part is currently obsolete with 933 pieces in stock inventory. Due to its obsolete status, equivalent substitute parts from both Amphenol ICC and Assmann WSW Components are available to ensure design continuity and supply chain reliability.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 87180-344 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters: connector type (jack), contact configuration (4P4C RJ9/RJ10/RJ22), mounting method (through hole), orientation (90° right angle), termination type (solder), shielding (unshielded), and physical features (board lock, down tab direction). All substitute parts maintain these core electrical and mechanical characteristics.

The substitute parts are grouped into two categories:

Direct Amphenol ICC Substitute: Part 87180-044LF maintains identical functional specifications with the primary difference being active product status and RoHS compliance.

Manufacturer-Recommended Assmann WSW Components Substitutes: Parts A-2004-3-1-LP-N, A-2004-3-2-LP-N, and A-2004-3-3-LP-N provide functional equivalence with variations in contact finish thickness (15.0µin, 30.0µin, and 50.0µin respectively) and extended operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For RoHS Compliance Requirements: The 87180-044LF is the direct substitute from Amphenol ICC, offering active product status and RoHS compliance while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the obsolete 87180-344.

For Extended Temperature Applications: The Assmann WSW Components A-2004-3-1-LP-N, A-2004-3-2-LP-N, and A-2004-3-3-LP-N series provide an extended operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C compared to the original -40°C to 70°C specification. These parts are ROHS3 compliant and available in active production status.

For Contact Durability Considerations: The Assmann WSW Components substitutes offer increased contact finish thickness options (15.0µin, 30.0µin, and 50.0µin) compared to the original 5.00µin specification, providing enhanced contact durability across different application environments.

For Supply Chain Continuity: All substitute parts maintain functional equivalence with the 87180-344 across critical parameters including connector type, contact configuration, mounting method, orientation, and termination type. Selection should be based on compliance requirements, temperature operating range needs, and packaging preferences.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 87180-044LF directly replace the 87180-344 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 87180-044LF maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications including 4P4C contact configuration, 90° right-angle orientation, through-hole solder termination, and board lock features. The primary differences are active product status and RoHS compliance.

Q: What is the significance of contact finish thickness variation in the Assmann WSW Components substitutes?

A: Contact finish thickness affects contact durability and wear resistance. The A-2004-3-1-LP-N (15.0µin), A-2004-3-2-LP-N (30.0µin), and A-2004-3-3-LP-N (50.0µin) provide progressively thicker gold plating compared to the original 5.00µin specification, suitable for applications requiring extended contact life or higher mating cycle requirements.

Q: Are the Assmann WSW Components parts compatible with RJ9, RJ10, and RJ22 standards?

A: Yes. All Assmann WSW Components substitutes (A-2004-3-1-LP-N, A-2004-3-2-LP-N, A-2004-3-3-LP-N) maintain 4P4C contact configuration compatible with RJ9, RJ10, and RJ22 standards.

Q: What packaging options are available for these substitutes?

A: The 87180-044LF is supplied in tube packaging. The Assmann WSW Components substitutes (A-2004-3-1-LP-N, A-2004-3-2-LP-N, A-2004-3-3-LP-N) are supplied in tray packaging.

Q: Do all substitute parts support the same operating temperature range?

A: The 87180-044LF maintains the original -40°C to 70°C range. The Assmann WSW Components substitutes extend this to -40°C to 85°C, providing additional thermal margin for higher-temperature applications.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: The 87180-044LF is RoHS compliant. The Assmann WSW Components substitutes (A-2004-3-1-LP-N, A-2004-3-2-LP-N, A-2004-3-3-LP-N) are ROHS3 compliant. The original 87180-344 is RoHS non-compliant.
