Amphenol ICC 87610-214 Rectangular Connector Header - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 87610-214 is a through-hole rectangular connector header with 14 positions arranged in 2 rows at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch. This shrouded 4-wall header connector features male pins with gold-plated mating contacts and is designed for board-to-cable/wire applications using solder termination with push-pull fastening.

The 87610-214 carries an obsolete product status. Identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary to ensure design continuity, maintain supply chain reliability, and support long-term product availability for applications currently utilizing this connector.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 87610-214 are determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Header)
• Contact type (Male Pin)
• Number of positions and rows (14 positions, 2 rows)
• Mating pitch and row spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Shrouding configuration (Shrouded - 4 Wall)
• Mounting method (Through Hole)
• Termination type (Solder)
• Fastening mechanism (Push-Pull)
• Contact shape (Square)
• Mating contact finish (Gold)
• Insulation material class (Thermoplastic, Glass Filled)
• Flammability rating (UL94 V-0)
• Keying slot feature

Two substitute parts meet these criteria: the Amphenol ICC 87610-214LF (direct manufacturer variant) and the Assmann WSW Components AWHW 14G-0202-T (cross-manufacturer equivalent).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 87610-214LF is the direct manufacturer equivalent from Amphenol ICC (FCI). It maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the 87610-214 while offering active product status and RoHS compliance. The 87610-214LF is the preferred substitute for applications requiring continuity with the original Amphenol ICC Quickie™ series design.

The AWHW 14G-0202-T from Assmann WSW Components provides a cross-manufacturer alternative that meets all functional substitution criteria. This part offers the highest current inventory availability (5798 pieces) and active product status. The AWHW 14G-0202-T features ROHS3 compliance and specified operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 105°C) with rated current capacity (3A). Contact material differs (brass versus phosphor bronze), and insulation material is PBT rather than thermoplastic, though both meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements.

For new designs or applications where RoHS compliance is mandatory, either the 87610-214LF or AWHW 14G-0202-T is suitable. For legacy system support requiring exact material composition match, the 87610-214LF maintains closer alignment with the original specification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 87610-214LF be used as a direct replacement for the 87610-214?

A: Yes. The 87610-214LF is functionally equivalent across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters: 14-position, 2-row header with 0.100" pitch, shrouded 4-wall configuration, through-hole solder termination, push-pull fastening, and square male pins with gold mating contacts. The primary differences are product status (active versus obsolete), RoHS compliance, and packaging format (tube versus unspecified).

Q: What are the key differences between the 87610-214LF and AWHW 14G-0202-T?

A: Both parts share identical connector topology, pitch, shrouding, and fastening specifications. Differences include: manufacturer (Amphenol ICC versus Assmann WSW), contact material (phosphor bronze versus brass), insulation material (thermoplastic versus PBT), contact finish thickness specifications, and packaging (tube versus tray). The AWHW 14G-0202-T includes specified operating temperature range and current rating, while the 87610-214LF maintains the original Amphenol ICC Quickie™ series designation.

Q: Are there mechanical compatibility concerns when substituting these parts?

A: No. All three parts maintain identical mating pitch (0.100"), row spacing (0.100"), shrouding configuration (4-wall), contact shape (square), and through-hole mounting footprint. Mechanical interchangeability is assured across all substitute options.

Q: Which substitute part should be selected for RoHS-compliant applications?

A: Both the 87610-214LF (RoHS Compliant) and AWHW 14G-0202-T (ROHS3 Compliant) meet RoHS requirements. The 87610-214LF maintains closer alignment with the original Amphenol ICC specification, while the AWHW 14G-0202-T offers higher inventory availability and specified operating parameters.

Q: Does packaging format affect electrical or mechanical performance?

A: No. Packaging format (tube for 87610-214LF, tray for AWHW 14G-0202-T) affects only handling, storage, and logistics. Electrical and mechanical performance of the connector itself is unaffected by packaging type.

Q: What is the significance of the contact finish thickness difference between parts?

A: Contact finish thickness is specified for the 87610-214LF (30.0µin mating, 78.7µin post) and AWHW 14G-0202-T (flash mating finish). Both configurations meet the functional requirement of providing corrosion resistance and electrical conductivity for the mating interface. Thickness variations reflect different manufacturing processes between manufacturers but do not affect connector performance within the specified electrical and mechanical operating envelope.
