Amphenol ICC 88005-236H Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 88005-236H is a rectangular connector header featuring 36 vertical positions with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing. This through-hole solder-terminated connector is part of the BERGSTIK® II series and serves board-to-board interconnection applications. The part is currently active in production with 790 units in stock. Equivalent and substitute parts are necessary to address supply chain flexibility, alternative compliance requirements, and design optimization across different manufacturing specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 88005-236H is determined by strict alignment with the following core parameters: 36-position count, 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch, single-row configuration, through-hole solder termination, unshrouded design, square contact geometry, and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. All identified substitutes meet these mandatory criteria. Variations in contact length, contact finish composition, and post finish specifications are permitted within the substitution scope, as these parameters do not affect board-level mating compatibility or fundamental electrical performance in standard applications. Differences in operating temperature range, current rating, and RoHS compliance status are documented but do not disqualify substitution eligibility based on the core mechanical and electrical interface requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All four substitute parts maintain active product status and meet the core mechanical and electrical interface requirements of the 88005-236H. The 929705-06-36-I from 3M provides RoHS compliance with a narrower operating temperature range (-40°C to 105°C) and lower current rating (2.5A), suitable for standard commercial applications. The three Sullins Connector Solutions options (PBC36SFAN, PEC36SFAN, PEC36SFCN) offer extended operating temperature range (-65°C to 125°C) and higher current rating (3A), with ROHS3 compliance. Selection between Sullins variants depends on contact post length requirements: PBC36SFAN and PEC36SFAN provide shorter posts (0.120"), while PEC36SFCN offers extended post length (0.320"). Contact finish selection differs between gold-plated options (929705-06-36-I, PBC36SFAN) and tin-plated options (PEC36SFAN, PEC36SFCN), with tin-plated variants providing thicker mating surface finish (100.0µin versus 10.0µin).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 929705-06-36-I substitute for the 88005-236H in all applications? A: The 929705-06-36-I meets all core mechanical and electrical interface requirements. However, its operating temperature range (-40°C to 105°C) is narrower than the Sullins alternatives (-65°C to 125°C), and its current rating is 2.5A versus 3A for Sullins parts. Application-specific temperature and current requirements determine suitability.

Q: What is the difference between PBC36SFAN, PEC36SFAN, and PEC36SFCN? A: All three Sullins parts share identical core specifications (36 positions, 2.54mm pitch, -65°C to 125°C operating range, 3A current rating, ROHS3 compliance). The primary differences are contact post length (PBC36SFAN and PEC36SFAN: 0.120"; PEC36SFCN: 0.320") and contact finish composition (PBC36SFAN: gold mating surface; PEC36SFAN and PEC36SFCN: tin mating surface). Selection depends on PCB stack-up requirements and soldering process compatibility.

Q: Does the contact finish difference affect compatibility? A: Contact finish (gold versus tin) affects soldering characteristics and long-term reliability in specific environmental conditions but does not affect mating compatibility. Gold-plated contacts (929705-06-36-I, PBC36SFAN) provide superior corrosion resistance. Tin-plated contacts (PEC36SFAN, PEC36SFCN) offer cost efficiency and are suitable for standard industrial applications.

Q: Why does the 88005-236H show RoHS non-compliant status while substitutes are RoHS compliant? A: The 88005-236H predates or does not meet current RoHS directives, while all substitute parts are manufactured to ROHS3 or RoHS Compliant standards. For applications requiring RoHS compliance, any of the four substitutes are appropriate selections.

Q: Are there mechanical fit concerns with different contact post lengths? A: Contact post length affects solder joint formation and PCB hole engagement. Shorter posts (0.120") are suitable for standard PCB thicknesses and soldering processes. Longer posts (0.320" for PEC36SFCN or 0.710" for 929705-06-36-I) accommodate thicker PCB assemblies or specific soldering requirements. PCB design specifications determine the appropriate post length.

Q: What is the significance of the breakaway feature on substitute parts? A: The breakaway feature on Sullins and 3M parts allows individual positions to be separated from the header strip. This does not affect compatibility with the 88005-236H in standard board-to-board applications but provides design flexibility for custom configurations.
