Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 87900-472H is determined by strict alignment with core electrical and mechanical parameters. The following criteria establish substitution validity:

Primary Matching Criteria:

• Connector type: Header
• Contact type: Male pin
• Number of positions: 72
• Number of rows: 2
• Pitch spacing: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Row spacing: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Mounting type: Through hole
• Termination: Solder
• Fastening type: Push-pull
• Style: Board to board
• Shrouding: Unshrouded

Two substitute parts meet these core requirements and are listed as manufacturer-recommended alternatives.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

BBD-136-G-D (Samtec Inc.) is the primary manufacturer-recommended substitute. This part maintains full electrical and mechanical compatibility with the 87900-472H across all core parameters. The BBD-136-G-D carries active product status and ROHS3 compliance, providing regulatory alignment for new designs and ongoing production. Inventory availability of 805 units supports immediate procurement.

ZW-36-11-F-D-660-080 (Samtec Inc.) is listed as an alternative substitute and meets all core substitution criteria. This part is classified as a flexible board stacking header and carries active product status with ROHS3 compliance. Inventory of 900 units is available.

Both substitutes are manufactured by Samtec Inc. and provide regulatory compliance advantages over the obsolete Amphenol ICC original part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What makes BBD-136-G-D and ZW-36-11-F-D-660-080 suitable substitutes for 87900-472H?

A: Both parts match the critical parameters that define connector interchangeability: 72-position, 2-row configuration with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing, through-hole solder termination, push-pull fastening, and board-to-board application profile. These parameters ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility in the target application.

Q: Why is the 87900-472H classified as obsolete?

A: The 87900-472H is marked as obsolete by the manufacturer, indicating discontinued production. Substitute parts ensure design continuity and supply chain availability for applications currently using this connector.

Q: What is the difference between the two substitute options?

A: Both BBD-136-G-D and ZW-36-11-F-D-660-080 meet core substitution criteria. The ZW-36-11-F-D-660-080 is specifically designated as a flexible board stacking header variant. Selection between the two depends on application-specific requirements beyond the core parameters provided.

Q: Are the substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both BBD-136-G-D and ZW-36-11-F-D-660-080 are ROHS3 compliant, whereas the original 87900-472H is RoHS non-compliant. This compliance advantage supports regulatory requirements in new production environments.

Q: What packaging formats are available for the substitutes?

A: BBD-136-G-D is supplied in tube packaging. ZW-36-11-F-D-660-080 is supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging selection should align with procurement and assembly process requirements.
