Amphenol ICC 87606-322 Rectangular Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 87606-322 is a 44-position receptacle connector in the Dubox™ series, designed for board-to-board applications with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing. This connector features through-hole solder termination, gold-plated mating contacts, and is rated for automotive, general purpose, industrial, and telecommunications applications.

The 87606-322 carries an obsolete product status. Identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary to ensure design continuity, maintain supply chain reliability, and support legacy system maintenance or redesigns requiring active component availability.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 87606-322LF is a direct functional equivalent to the 87606-322, with identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters. The primary distinction is regulatory and availability status.

The 87606-322 is obsolete, whereas the 87606-322LF maintains active product status with current manufacturing support. The 87606-322LF achieves RoHS compliance and REACH affected status, whereas the original part is RoHS non-compliant and REACH unaffected. Both parts carry identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications.

For new designs or systems requiring component replacement, the 87606-322LF is the appropriate selection. For legacy systems currently using the 87606-322, the 87606-322LF provides direct substitution without design modification, provided regulatory compliance requirements align with project specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 87606-322LF directly replace the 87606-322 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 87606-322LF is mechanically and electrically identical to the 87606-322. All critical parameters—connector type, position count, pitch spacing, row configuration, mounting method, termination type, and contact specifications—are equivalent. Direct substitution is possible without PCB or assembly modifications.

Q: What is the significance of the product status difference (Obsolete vs. Active)?

A: Product status reflects manufacturing availability and supply chain support. The 87606-322 is obsolete and no longer manufactured. The 87606-322LF is actively produced by Amphenol ICC, ensuring reliable supply for new procurements and ongoing system maintenance.

Q: How do the RoHS compliance differences affect substitution?

A: The 87606-322 is RoHS non-compliant; the 87606-322LF is RoHS compliant. If your application or regulatory jurisdiction requires RoHS compliance, the 87606-322LF is the appropriate choice. If legacy systems are exempt from RoHS requirements, both parts are functionally interchangeable.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: Yes. The 87606-322 is supplied in bulk packaging, while the 87606-322LF is supplied in tube packaging. This affects handling, storage, and procurement logistics but does not impact electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: What applications are these connectors suitable for?

A: Both the 87606-322 and 87606-322LF are rated for automotive, general purpose, industrial, and telecommunications applications. The UL94 V-0 flammability rating and thermoplastic glass-filled insulation material support these application categories.

Q: Are there any electrical or current rating specifications provided?

A: Current rating and voltage rating specifications are not provided in the technical data for either part. Consult the manufacturer's detailed datasheet for electrical performance parameters specific to your application requirements.
