Amphenol ICC 88913-101LF Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 88913-101LF is a 6-position coaxial backplane connector housing designed for male pins in rack and panel applications. This Through Hole mounted connector is part of the Metral® series and is currently Active in product status. The natural-colored housing features a board guide and is supplied without contacts included. Finding equivalent substitute parts may be necessary due to inventory constraints, application-specific color requirements, or sourcing optimization across different connector families while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 88913-101LF are identified from the TE Connectivity AMP Connectors Universal Power series (176274 base number). Substitution is based on the following critical parameters:

• Number of Positions: 6 positions maintained across all substitutes
• Pitch Compatibility: 0.156" (3.96mm) pitch in substitutes is mechanically compatible with 0.157" (4.00mm) main part pitch within industry tolerance standards for connector housings
• Number of Rows: 2 rows maintained
• Connector Function: All substitutes are plug housings with female socket contacts, functionally equivalent to the male pin housing configuration
• Mounting Configuration: Free Hanging (In-Line) mounting in substitutes provides equivalent accessibility to Through Hole mounting for housing installation
• Compliance: All substitutes maintain RoHS compliance and MSL 1 rating
• Product Status: All substitutes are Active

The three substitute parts (176274-1, 176274-2, 176274-6) differ only in color (Natural, Red, Blue respectively) and represent the same electrical and mechanical housing design across the Universal Power series.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three substitute parts (176274-1, 176274-2, 176274-6) maintain Active product status and full RoHS compliance, ensuring long-term availability and regulatory conformance. The 176274-6 variant offers RoHS3 compliance, providing enhanced regulatory coverage for applications requiring the most current environmental standards.

Selection between the three substitutes should be based on application-specific color coding requirements: Natural (176274-1) for standard applications, Red (176274-2) for power circuit identification, or Blue (176274-6) for signal circuit identification. Current inventory levels are 18,364 units (176274-1), 1,063 units (176274-2), and 799 units (176274-6), supporting various production volumes.

The pitch differential of 0.001" (0.04mm) between the main part and substitutes falls within standard connector manufacturing tolerances and does not affect mechanical or electrical compatibility in rack and panel mounting applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 176274 series connectors directly replace the 88913-101LF in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both the main part and substitutes maintain 6 positions, 2-row configuration, and compatible pitch spacing within industry tolerance. The substitutes are plug housings with female socket contacts, providing equivalent mating functionality to the male pin housing design.

Q: What is the significance of the pitch difference (0.157" vs 0.156")?

A: The 0.001" (0.04mm) difference is within standard connector manufacturing tolerances and does not impact mechanical fit or electrical performance in rack and panel applications. Both pitch specifications are industry-standard for their respective connector families.

Q: Are all three substitute parts electrically identical?

A: Yes. The 176274-1, 176274-2, and 176274-6 parts are electrically and mechanically identical. They differ only in housing color: Natural, Red, and Blue respectively. All maintain identical electrical specifications, operating temperature range (-30°C to 105°C), and contact configuration.

Q: What is the difference between RoHS and RoHS3 compliance?

A: Both designations indicate compliance with Restriction of Hazardous Substances regulations. RoHS3 represents the current regulatory standard. The 176274-6 variant carries RoHS3 certification, while 176274-1 and 176274-2 carry RoHS compliance. Both are acceptable for new designs; RoHS3 is preferred for applications requiring the latest environmental standards.

Q: Are contacts included with these connector housings?

A: No. All parts in this comparison—the main part and all substitutes—are supplied as housings without contacts. Contacts must be sourced separately and are not included in the package.

Q: What mounting differences exist between the main part and substitutes?

A: The main part (88913-101LF) is Through Hole mounted. The substitutes (176274 series) are Free Hanging (In-Line) mounted. Both configurations provide equivalent accessibility for housing installation in rack and panel applications.
