Amphenol ICC 87382-234 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 87382-234 is a rectangular connector header designed for through-hole board-to-board applications with 34 positions at 2.54mm pitch. This component is classified as obsolete, making equivalent substitute parts necessary for new designs and ongoing production support. The BERGSTIK® II series connector provides a two-row unshrouded header configuration with solder termination and push-pull fastening.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 87382-234 are qualified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional equivalence:

Connector type (Header)
Contact type (Male Pin)
Number of positions (34)
Number of rows (2)
Pitch - mating (0.100" / 2.54mm)
Row spacing - mating (0.100" / 2.54mm)
Mounting type (Through Hole)
Termination (Solder)
Fastening type (Push-Pull)
Style (Board to Board)
Shrouding (Unshrouded)

The Samtec Inc. BBD series connectors (BBD-117-G-C and BBD-117-T-C) meet all critical substitution criteria. Variations in contact length, insulation height, contact shape, and contact finish are secondary parameters that do not prevent functional substitution in board-to-board applications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both Samtec BBD-117-G-C and BBD-117-T-C connectors serve as functional equivalents to the obsolete Amphenol ICC 87382-234. Selection between the two Samtec options depends on contact finish requirements:

BBD-117-G-C features gold mating contact finish, providing corrosion resistance and electrical performance characteristics aligned with the original gold-finished 87382-234.

BBD-117-T-C features tin mating contact finish, offering a cost-effective alternative with equivalent electrical and mechanical performance for applications where gold plating is not required.

Both substitute parts are manufactured by Samtec Inc. with active product status and ROHS3 compliance, ensuring long-term availability and regulatory alignment. The Samtec connectors provide specified operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C) and documented material specifications not provided for the original part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can BBD-117-G-C and BBD-117-T-C be used interchangeably with 87382-234?

A: Both Samtec connectors meet all critical substitution parameters including connector type, contact type, position count, pitch, mounting method, and termination. The primary difference is mating contact finish (gold versus tin). Selection depends on application requirements for contact finish performance.

Q: What are the physical differences between the original and substitute parts?

A: The Samtec BBD series connectors have longer overall contact length (0.835" versus 0.675") and greater insulation height (0.585" versus 0.100"). Contact shape differs from square to circular. These dimensional variations do not prevent functional substitution in standard board-to-board applications but should be evaluated for space-constrained designs.

Q: Are the substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both BBD-117-G-C and BBD-117-T-C are ROHS3 compliant. The original 87382-234 is RoHS non-compliant. This compliance upgrade is beneficial for new designs and applications subject to RoHS regulations.

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

A: All three parts (original and both substitutes) have Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating no special moisture handling requirements during storage or assembly.

Q: Which substitute should be selected for new designs?

A: For new designs, either BBD-117-G-C or BBD-117-T-C is appropriate based on contact finish requirements. Both offer active product status, ROHS3 compliance, and specified operating temperature range, providing superior long-term support compared to the obsolete original part.
