Amphenol ICC 87610-234 Rectangular Connector Header - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 87610-234 is a through-hole rectangular connector header with 34 positions at 2.54mm pitch, featuring shrouded 4-wall design and solder termination. This component is classified as obsolete, making equivalent substitute parts necessary for ongoing production and maintenance applications. Active alternatives from Amphenol ICC and other manufacturers provide direct functional equivalence while offering improved product status and compliance certifications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Connector Type, Contact Type, and Mounting: All substitutes must be headers with male pins and through-hole mounting
Position Count and Pitch: 34 positions at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch with 2-row configuration
Shrouding and Termination: 4-wall shrouded design with solder termination
Contact Shape and Material Flammability: Square contacts with UL94 V-0 rating
Moisture Sensitivity: MSL 1 (Unlimited) classification

Substitutes are grouped into two categories:

Direct Amphenol ICC Equivalent: Part 87610-234LF maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications while offering active product status and RoHS compliance.

Cross-Manufacturer Alternatives: HARTING SEK series (09185345324, 09195346324, 09195347324) and Assmann WSW AWHW 34G-0202-T provide functional equivalence with variations in contact materials, insulation materials, and operating temperature ranges. These parts maintain core mechanical compatibility while differing in secondary specifications.

Non-Equivalent Listing: Part 09195407324 (40-position variant) is listed in the original substitute field but does not qualify as a direct substitute due to position count difference (40 vs. 34).

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute - Amphenol ICC 87610-234LF: This part is the direct equivalent from the original manufacturer. It maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications while transitioning from obsolete to active product status. The 87610-234LF is RoHS compliant and represents the lowest-risk substitution path for existing designs. The only material difference is the addition of tin finish on the post contacts, which does not affect functional compatibility.

Secondary Substitutes - HARTING SEK Series (09185345324, 09195346324, 09195347324): These parts provide functional equivalence with ROHS3 compliance and extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C). They employ different contact materials (copper alloy vs. phosphor bronze) and insulation materials (PBT or PCT vs. thermoplastic). These alternatives are suitable for applications requiring broader temperature performance and are REACH unaffected. The fastening mechanism differs (latch holder vs. push-pull), which may require mechanical validation in specific applications.

Tertiary Substitute - Assmann WSW AWHW 34G-0202-T: This part offers the highest inventory availability (2501 pcs) and ROHS3 compliance. It features a narrower operating temperature range (-40°C to 105°C) and includes a specified current rating of 3A. The push-pull fastening mechanism matches the original design. This option is suitable for applications within the specified temperature range and provides excellent supply availability.

Non-Equivalent Part: 09195407324 is a 40-position variant and does not qualify as a substitute for the 34-position requirement.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use 87610-234LF as a direct replacement for 87610-234?

A: Yes. The 87610-234LF is the active equivalent from Amphenol ICC with identical connector specifications. The primary differences are product status (active vs. obsolete) and RoHS compliance. It is the recommended substitution for new designs and production continuity.

Q: What are the key differences between Amphenol ICC and HARTING alternatives?

A: The HARTING SEK series (09185345324, 09195346324, 09195347324) differ in contact material (copper alloy vs. phosphor bronze), insulation material composition (PBT/PCT vs. thermoplastic), fastening mechanism (latch holder vs. push-pull), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C vs. unspecified). These differences do not affect pin pitch, position count, or shrouding compatibility but may require mechanical validation for specific applications.

Q: Are all substitutes RoHS compliant?

A: The 87610-234 (main part) is RoHS non-compliant. All listed substitutes are RoHS compliant (87610-234LF is RoHS Compliant; HARTING and Assmann WSW parts are ROHS3 Compliant). This represents a compliance upgrade in the substitution process.

Q: Does the fastening type difference matter?

A: The original 87610-234 and 87610-234LF use push-pull fastening. HARTING alternatives use latch holder fastening. Assmann WSW AWHW 34G-0202-T uses push-pull. Fastening type affects mating force and connector retention but does not affect electrical compatibility. Mechanical validation is required if switching between fastening types.

Q: What is the difference between contact finish specifications?

A: The original part specifies gold mating finish with GXT™ plating (30.0µin thickness). Substitutes vary: 87610-234LF maintains identical gold finish; HARTING 09185345324 specifies gold finish; HARTING 09195346324 and 09195347324 do not specify mating finish; Assmann WSW specifies gold with flash thickness. All include tin post finish. These variations do not affect electrical performance for standard applications.

Q: Which substitute offers the best supply availability?

A: Assmann WSW AWHW 34G-0202-T has the highest inventory (2501 pcs) compared to other options. This provides the best supply security for production requirements.

Q: Can I use parts with different operating temperature ranges?

A: The original 87610-234 does not specify an operating temperature range. HARTING alternatives specify -55°C to 125°C; Assmann WSW specifies -40°C to 105°C. Selection depends on your application's thermal requirements. For applications operating within -40°C to 105°C, all substitutes are suitable. For applications requiring -55°C operation, HARTING alternatives are required.

Q: What does REACH Affected vs. REACH Unaffected mean?

A: REACH Affected indicates the part is subject to REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals) regulations. REACH Unaffected indicates exemption. The 87610-234LF is REACH Affected; all other substitutes are REACH Unaffected. This affects regulatory documentation requirements but not functional compatibility.
