Amphenol ICC 87606-316 Rectangular Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 87606-316 is a 32-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.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the 87606-316 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Receptacle with female socket contacts
Position Count & Pitch: 32 positions at 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch
Row Configuration: 2-row arrangement with 0.100" (2.54mm) row spacing
Mounting & Termination: Through-hole solder termination
Contact Materials & Finish: Gold-plated mating surface with tin-plated posts
Flammability Compliance: UL94 V-0 rating

Two substitute parts are identified:

87606-316LF - Direct functional equivalent from the same Dubox™ series with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Primary difference is active product status and RoHS compliance.

98424-G52-34ULF - Alternative from the Minitek® 2.00mm series. This part differs in connector type (header vs. receptacle), mounting method (surface mount vs. through hole), position count (34 vs. 32), and pitch (0.079" vs. 0.100"). This represents a design-level substitution requiring circuit board redesign.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

87606-316LF is the primary substitute for direct replacement applications. This part maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications while offering active product status and RoHS compliance. The transition from non-compliant to compliant status aligns with current regulatory requirements for new designs and production runs.

98424-G52-34ULF is not a direct pin-compatible substitute. Fundamental differences in connector type, mounting technology, pitch, and position count require complete circuit board redesign and connector interface modification. Selection of this part necessitates comprehensive design validation and is appropriate only when surface-mount technology and 2.00mm pitch specifications align with system requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 87606-316LF be used as a direct replacement for 87606-316 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 87606-316LF maintains identical position count (32), pitch (0.100"), row configuration (2 rows), mounting type (through hole), and contact specifications. The primary differences are product status (active vs. obsolete) and regulatory compliance (RoHS compliant vs. non-compliant). No circuit board modifications are required.

Q: What are the key differences between 87606-316LF and 98424-G52-34ULF?

A: These parts differ in multiple critical parameters: connector type (receptacle vs. header), contact gender (female socket vs. male pin), position count (32 vs. 34), mating pitch (0.100" vs. 0.079"), row spacing (0.100" vs. 0.079"), and mounting method (through hole vs. surface mount). These differences require complete design revision and are not interchangeable without substantial circuit board redesign.

Q: Is the 87606-316LF packaging compatible with existing assembly processes?

A: The 87606-316LF is supplied in tube packaging, whereas the original 87606-316 packaging is not specified in available data. Verify packaging compatibility with your assembly equipment and material handling procedures before production transition.

Q: What compliance considerations apply when transitioning from 87606-316 to 87606-316LF?

A: The 87606-316LF is RoHS compliant and REACH affected, whereas the original part is RoHS non-compliant and REACH unaffected. Both parts maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity classification. Regulatory compliance documentation should be updated to reflect the transition to the compliant substitute.

Q: Are there electrical performance differences between these substitutes?

A: No electrical performance parameters (current rating, voltage rating, operating temperature) are specified for any of these parts in available technical data. Functional compatibility is determined by mechanical and contact specifications only.
