Amphenol ICC 87606-303 Rectangular Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 87606-303 is a 6-position receptacle connector with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, designed for through-hole PCB mounting with solder termination. This connector features gold-plated mating contacts and tin-plated posts, housed in a blue thermoplastic insulation body rated UL94 V-0. The part is currently active in production with 755 units in stock.

Finding equivalent and substitute parts for the 87606-303 becomes necessary when addressing packaging requirements, compliance specifications, or inventory availability across different manufacturing sources while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 87606-303 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Connector type (Receptacle)
Contact type (Female Socket)
Number of positions (6)
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)
Contact finish - mating (Gold)
Contact material (Phosphor Bronze)

The identified substitutes maintain these core electrical and mechanical parameters, ensuring direct functional compatibility in board-to-board applications. Variations in packaging format, RoHS compliance status, insulation color, and contact finish thickness on posts do not affect substitutability within the specified parameter set.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts maintain active product status and meet the core electrical and mechanical requirements for direct substitution. Selection between them should be based on the following factors:

87606-303 (Original): Maintains the original Amphenol ICC Dubox™ series specification with tube packaging. RoHS non-compliant status applies to applications without RoHS requirements.

87606-303LF (Amphenol ICC): Identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the original part with RoHS Compliant status and REACH Affected designation. Bulk packaging format differs from tube packaging. Higher inventory availability (4038 units) supports supply chain continuity.

534206-3 (TE Connectivity): Functionally equivalent TE Connectivity AMPMODU Mod II series connector with identical core parameters. Polyester glass-filled insulation replaces thermoplastic composition. Highest inventory availability (9293 units). Not applicable RoHS status. Operating temperature range specified as -65°C ~ 125°C with 2A current rating provided.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 87606-303LF directly replace 87606-303 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 87606-303LF maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications including connector type, contact configuration, pitch, mounting method, and contact materials. The primary difference is RoHS compliance status and packaging format (bulk versus tube).

Q: What are the mechanical compatibility considerations between Amphenol ICC and TE Connectivity parts?

A: Both the 87606-303 series and 534206-3 maintain identical mating pitch (0.100"), row spacing (0.100"), number of positions (6), and push-pull fastening type. Insulation height differs slightly (0.335" versus 0.320"), and contact post length varies marginally (0.114" versus 0.115"), but these variations remain within standard tolerance ranges for board-to-board connector applications.

Q: Does packaging format affect electrical performance?

A: No. Tube and bulk packaging formats do not affect electrical or mechanical performance. Packaging selection depends on inventory management, handling procedures, and supply chain requirements.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the three parts?

A: Yes. The 87606-303 is RoHS non-compliant. The 87606-303LF is RoHS Compliant with REACH Affected status. The 534206-3 has not applicable RoHS status. Application requirements determine which compliance designation is necessary.

Q: What is the significance of contact finish thickness variations?

A: Contact finish thickness on mating surfaces is identical across all three parts (30.0µin / 0.76µm gold). Post finish thickness varies (78.7µin for Amphenol parts versus 150.0µin for TE Connectivity), but this does not affect substitutability as post finish does not impact mating contact performance.
