Amphenol ICC 87606-407 Rectangular Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 87606-407 is a 14-position receptacle connector with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, designed for board-to-board applications using through-hole solder termination. This connector features a push-pull fastening mechanism and is constructed with phosphor bronze contacts finished in tin-lead. The part is currently obsolete, making identification of suitable substitutes essential for ongoing system support and new design implementations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The 87606-407LF serves as a direct substitute for the 87606-407 based on the following critical parameters that determine functional compatibility:

• Connector Type & Position Count: Both are 14-position receptacles
• Pitch & Row Configuration: Identical 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch and 2-row layout with 0.100" row spacing
• Mounting & Termination: Both use through-hole solder termination with push-pull fastening
• Contact Construction: Phosphor bronze contacts with identical geometry (0.114" post length, square contact shape)
• Insulation Specifications: Matching thermoplastic glass-filled insulation with UL94 V-0 rating and blue color
• Contact Finish Thickness: Identical 78.7µin (2.00µm) thickness on both mating and post surfaces

The primary difference between these parts is the contact finish material: the 87606-407 uses tin-lead finish, while the 87606-407LF uses tin finish only.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 87606-407LF is the direct substitute for the obsolete 87606-407. Selection between these parts should be based on the following criteria:

For New Designs and Ongoing Production: The 87606-407LF is the appropriate choice. This part is in active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain stability. The tin finish contact coating meets modern environmental compliance requirements, with RoHS compliance and REACH affected status reflecting current regulatory standards.

For Legacy System Support: If the original 87606-407 (tin-lead finish) is required for exact compatibility with existing assemblies, the 87606-407LF remains functionally equivalent. The tin finish provides equivalent electrical and mechanical performance for board-to-board interconnection applications. The difference in contact finish material does not affect connector mating, unmating, or mechanical retention characteristics.

Compliance Considerations: The 87606-407LF's RoHS compliance and REACH affected status align with current environmental regulations, whereas the original 87606-407 is RoHS non-compliant. This distinction is relevant for applications subject to regulatory compliance requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 87606-407LF directly replace the 87606-407 in existing PCB designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mechanical and electrical specifications for mating pitch (0.100"), position count (14), row configuration (2 rows), contact geometry, and mounting method (through-hole solder). PCB footprints are interchangeable.

Q: What is the functional difference between tin-lead and tin contact finishes?

A: Both finishes provide equivalent electrical conductivity and mechanical contact performance for this connector application. The tin finish in the 87606-407LF eliminates lead content, meeting RoHS compliance requirements. The contact finish thickness (78.7µin) is identical in both parts.

Q: Why is the 87606-407 listed as obsolete?

A: The 87606-407 has been superseded by the 87606-407LF. Amphenol ICC transitioned this product line to the lead-free tin finish variant to align with environmental regulations and modern manufacturing standards.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 87606-407LF is supplied in tube packaging. The original 87606-407 packaging specification is not provided in the technical data. Verify packaging requirements for your procurement and assembly processes.

Q: What applications are these connectors suitable for?

A: Both connectors are specified for automotive, general purpose, industrial, and telecommunications applications. The UL94 V-0 flammability rating and thermoplastic glass-filled insulation support these application categories.

Q: Is the 87606-407LF available in stock?

A: The 87606-407LF is in active production with 1900 pieces available as new original stock. The obsolete 87606-407 has 888 pieces available as legacy inventory.
