Amphenol ICC 88237-010LF Rectangular Connector Housing - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 88237-010LF is a 10-position rectangular connector housing designed for receptacle applications with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing. This component is part of the Mini-PV™ and Basics+ series and is classified as Active product status. The housing accommodates female socket contacts with crimp termination and operates across the -40°C to 105°C temperature range. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters align with the main part specifications, enabling direct replacement in applications where connector housing compatibility is required.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 88237-010LF are qualified based on matching the following critical parameters: 10-position receptacle housing configuration, female socket contact type, 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, 2-row arrangement with 0.100" row spacing, free hanging in-line mounting, crimp termination, black color, and -40°C to 105°C operating temperature range. All identified substitutes are Molex SL 70450 series components that maintain these core electrical and mechanical specifications. Variations in insulation material (Polyester, Glass Filled versus Polyphenylene, Modified) and RoHS compliance status do not affect functional interchangeability within the defined parameter set.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three Molex substitute parts (0022552101, 0022552103, 0022566107) maintain Active product status and meet or exceed the RoHS compliance requirements of the primary part. The 88237-010LF is RoHS Compliant, while all substitutes are ROHS3 Compliant, indicating enhanced regulatory alignment. Selection among the three Molex alternatives should be based on inventory availability and packaging requirements: 0022552101 and 0022552103 are supplied in Bulk packaging with 11,960 and 29,337 units in stock respectively, while 0022566107 is also Bulk packaged with 8,288 units available. The primary part 88237-010LF is supplied in Bag packaging with 837 units in stock. All parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications within the defined parameter set.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What determines if a part can substitute for the 88237-010LF?

A: Substitution is valid when the alternative part maintains the same connector type (Receptacle), contact type (Female Socket), position count (10), pitch (0.100"/2.54mm), row configuration (2 rows at 0.100" spacing), mounting type (Free Hanging In-Line), termination method (Crimp), color (Black), and operating temperature range (-40°C to 105°C).

Q: Are the Molex SL 70450 series parts mechanically compatible with the Amphenol ICC Mini-PV™ series?

A: The Molex parts match all specified mechanical parameters including position count, pitch, row spacing, and mounting configuration. Compatibility is determined by these dimensional and functional parameters.

Q: Does the difference in insulation material affect substitution?

A: The insulation material difference (Polyphenylene, Modified versus Polyester, Glass Filled) does not affect substitution eligibility within the defined parameter set. Both materials support the specified operating temperature range and MSL rating.

Q: What is the significance of ROHS3 compliance on the substitute parts?

A: ROHS3 Compliant status on the Molex substitutes indicates compliance with the Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive 3, which is a more recent regulatory standard than the RoHS Compliant status of the primary part. This represents enhanced regulatory alignment.

Q: How do packaging differences between Bag and Bulk affect part selection?

A: Packaging type (Bag versus Bulk) affects inventory management and handling but does not impact electrical or mechanical compatibility. Selection should consider supply chain requirements and inventory availability.

Q: Are contacts included with these connector housings?

A: No. All parts in this comparison are connector housings only. Contacts are not included and must be sourced separately.
