Amphenol ICC 87606-307 Rectangular Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 87606-307 is a 14-position receptacle connector from the Dubox™ series, designed for board-to-board applications with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch through-hole mounting. This part is classified as obsolete, making identification of suitable substitutes essential for ongoing design support and production continuity. The connector features gold-plated mating contacts and tin-plated posts with solder termination, suitable for automotive, industrial, and telecommunications applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the 87606-307 is determined by strict alignment with the following critical parameters: connector type (receptacle), contact type (female socket), number of positions (14), mating pitch (0.100"), number of rows (2), row spacing (0.100"), mounting type (through hole), termination method (solder), and contact finish (gold).

The substitute parts identified are:

87606-307LF - Direct functional equivalent with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary distinction is product status (active vs. obsolete) and compliance certifications (RoHS compliant vs. non-compliant).

98424-G52-12ALF - This part does not meet the substitution criteria. It is a header connector (not a receptacle), features 12 positions (not 14), uses 0.079" (2.00mm) pitch (not 0.100"), employs surface mount technology (not through hole), and is a male pin contact type (not female socket). This part is listed in the provided substitute list but is not electrically or mechanically compatible with the 87606-307.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

87606-307LF is the direct functional substitute for the obsolete 87606-307. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications within the Dubox™ series. The 87606-307LF is currently in active production status with significantly higher inventory availability (4437 units vs. 890 units). The 87606-307LF achieves RoHS compliance and REACH affected status, whereas the original part is RoHS non-compliant. For new designs or production continuity, the 87606-307LF is the appropriate selection.

98424-G52-12ALF is not a suitable substitute. Fundamental incompatibilities exist across multiple critical parameters: different connector type (header vs. receptacle), different contact type (male pin vs. female socket), different position count (12 vs. 14), different mating pitch (0.079" vs. 0.100"), different row spacing (0.079" vs. 0.100"), and different mounting technology (surface mount vs. through hole). This part cannot be used as a direct replacement in applications designed for the 87606-307.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 87606-307LF be used as a direct replacement for the 87606-307?

A: Yes. The 87606-307LF is electrically and mechanically identical to the 87606-307. Both are 14-position receptacle connectors with 0.100" pitch, through-hole mounting, and push-pull fastening. The primary differences are product status (active vs. obsolete) and regulatory compliance (RoHS compliant vs. non-compliant).

Q: Why is the 98424-G52-12ALF listed as a substitute if it is not compatible?

A: The 98424-G52-12ALF does not meet the substitution criteria for the 87606-307. It is a different connector type (header vs. receptacle), has fewer positions (12 vs. 14), uses a different pitch (0.079" vs. 0.100"), and employs surface mount technology instead of through-hole mounting. This part cannot be used in applications requiring the 87606-307 specifications.

Q: What are the key parameters that determine connector compatibility?

A: Connector compatibility is determined by: connector type (receptacle vs. header), contact type (female socket vs. male pin), number of positions, mating pitch, number of rows, row spacing, mounting type (through hole vs. surface mount), termination method, and fastening type. All of these parameters must align for direct substitution.

Q: Does the 87606-307LF packaging differ from the original part?

A: Yes. The 87606-307LF is supplied in Tube packaging, whereas the original 87606-307 packaging is not specified in the provided data. This is a logistical consideration only and does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the 87606-307 and 87606-307LF?

A: Yes. The 87606-307LF is RoHS compliant and REACH affected, while the original 87606-307 is RoHS non-compliant and REACH unaffected. Both parts maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating and identical contact finish specifications.
