Amphenol ICC 87409-130 Rectangular Connector Header - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 87409-130 is a surface mount rectangular connector header from the Rib-Cage™ III series, designed for board-to-board applications. This 60-position, dual-row connector operates across a wide temperature range (-55°C to 130°C) and is suitable for general purpose and military applications. The part is currently active in production with 1071 units in stock. Finding equivalent or substitute parts may be necessary due to inventory constraints, lead time requirements, or specific compliance needs for end-use applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 87409-130 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Header), contact type (Male Pin), and style (Board to Board)
• Position count (60) and row configuration (2 rows)
• Pitch specifications: mating pitch 0.050" (1.27mm) and row spacing 0.050" (1.27mm)
• Mounting method (Surface Mount) and shrouding design (Shrouded - 4 Wall)
• Termination type (Solder) and fastening mechanism (Push-Pull)
• Contact geometry: square contact shape with 0.130" (3.30mm) mating length
• Insulation material (Thermoplastic, Glass Filled) and flammability rating (UL94 V-0)
• Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 130°C) and current rating (1A DC)
• Mechanical features including board guide and mated stacking height (6.42mm)

The 87409-130LF qualifies as a direct substitute based on full alignment with these parameters. Differences in post-side contact finish (Tin vs. Tin-Lead) and RoHS compliance status do not affect functional interchangeability in board-to-board mating applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 87409-130LF serves as a direct functional equivalent to the 87409-130 for all board-to-board connector applications within the specified operating parameters. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical characteristics across all critical mating interfaces.

Selection between these parts should be based on compliance requirements and product status:

• The 87409-130LF is RoHS Compliant and carries REACH Affected status, making it the appropriate choice for applications subject to European Union environmental regulations or customer-mandated RoHS requirements.
• The 87409-130 remains RoHS non-compliant and is suitable for applications without such regulatory constraints.
• Both parts are active products with current manufacturing support and adequate inventory availability.

The post-side contact finish difference (Tin-Lead in 87409-130 versus Tin in 87409-130LF) does not affect mating performance or electrical characteristics in standard solder reflow processes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 87409-130 and 87409-130LF mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mechanical dimensions, pitch specifications (0.050" mating pitch, 0.050" row spacing), shrouding design (4-wall shrouded), and mounting footprint. They are direct mechanical substitutes for board-to-board applications.

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

A: The primary differences are RoHS compliance status and post-side contact finish. The 87409-130LF is RoHS Compliant with Tin post-side finish, while the 87409-130 is RoHS non-compliant with Tin-Lead post-side finish. Both maintain identical mating-side contact specifications and electrical performance.

Q: Can I use 87409-130LF as a replacement for 87409-130 in existing designs?

A: Yes, the 87409-130LF is a direct substitute. The contact finish difference on the post side does not affect electrical performance or solder joint reliability in standard reflow processes. Verify that your application's compliance requirements align with the RoHS status of your selected part.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for both parts?

A: Both the 87409-130 and 87409-130LF operate across -55°C to 130°C, supporting general purpose and military applications.

Q: Are both parts available in the same packaging?

A: Yes. Both parts are supplied in tube packaging and share identical moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1 - Unlimited).

Q: What is the current rating for this connector?

A: Both parts are rated for 1A DC per contact, suitable for low-to-moderate current applications in board-to-board configurations.
