Amphenol ICC 87409-115 Rectangular Connector Header - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 87409-115 is a surface mount rectangular connector header designed for board-to-board applications. This shrouded 30-position header operates across military and general-purpose applications with a 0.050" (1.27mm) pitch configuration. The part is currently active in production. Alternative part numbers may be required due to RoHS compliance requirements, inventory availability, or specific application certifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 87409-115 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type, contact type, and gender (Header, Male Pin)
• Position count and row configuration (30 positions, 2 rows)
• Mating pitch and row spacing (0.050" / 1.27mm)
• Mounting technology (Surface Mount)
• Shrouding design (Shrouded - 4 Wall)
• Termination method (Solder)
• Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 130°C)
• Current rating (1A DC)
• Flammability rating (UL94 V-0)
• Series designation (Rib-Cage™ III)

The 87409-115LF is a direct substitute that maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters while offering improved RoHS compliance status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 87409-115LF is a direct functional equivalent to the 87409-115. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters. The primary distinction is RoHS compliance status: the 87409-115LF is RoHS compliant, while the 87409-115 is RoHS non-compliant. The 87409-115LF achieves compliance through lead-free post termination (Tin instead of Tin-Lead), while maintaining all other specifications including mating contact finish and performance characteristics.

Selection between these parts should be based on regulatory requirements and application compliance mandates. Both parts carry Active product status and are suitable for general-purpose and military applications within the specified operating temperature range.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 87409-115 and 87409-115LF mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical mechanical dimensions, mounting footprints, and board-to-board spacing. They are pin-compatible and can be used interchangeably in the same PCB layout.

Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers?

A: The primary difference is RoHS compliance. The 87409-115LF uses lead-free termination (Tin post finish) and is RoHS compliant. The 87409-115 uses Tin-Lead post termination and is RoHS non-compliant. All other electrical and mechanical parameters are identical.

Q: Can I substitute the 87409-115 with the 87409-115LF in an existing design?

A: Yes, provided your application does not have specific requirements for Tin-Lead termination. The lead-free post finish of the 87409-115LF is compatible with standard solder reflow processes.

Q: What is the pitch specification for these connectors?

A: Both parts feature a 0.050" (1.27mm) mating pitch with 0.050" (1.27mm) row spacing, configured as a 30-position, 2-row header.

Q: Are these parts suitable for military applications?

A: Yes. Both the 87409-115 and 87409-115LF are listed for military applications and meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements with operating temperatures from -55°C to 130°C.

Q: What is the current rating for these connectors?

A: Both parts are rated for 1A DC per contact.
