Amphenol ICC 88916-207 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 88916-207 is a 6-position power connector in the Metral® series, designed for rack and panel applications with through-hole mounting. This component features positions molded closed and natural color finish, without integrated contacts.

The 88916-207 carries an obsolete product status. Locating equivalent or substitute components is necessary to maintain system compatibility, ensure supply chain continuity, and support ongoing production or maintenance requirements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The 88916-207LF qualifies as a direct substitute based on the following critical parameters:

• Number of Positions: Both parts maintain 6 (Power) positions
• Pitch: Both parts maintain 0.157" (4.00mm) spacing
• Number of Rows: Both parts maintain 2-row configuration
• Connector Style: Both parts are Rack and Panel style
• Connector Usage: Both parts function as receptacles
• Color: Both parts are natural color
• Series: Both parts belong to the Metral® series
• Base Product Number: Both parts share base number 88916

The 88916-207LF differs in mounting configuration (Board Edge, Through Hole, Right Angle versus Through Hole only) and product status (Active versus Obsolete), but these differences do not prevent functional substitution when mechanical layout permits the right-angle mounting variant.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 88916-207LF is the active production equivalent for the obsolete 88916-207. Selection between these parts depends on specific application requirements:

88916-207LF is preferred when:

• New designs or production runs require active product status and supply chain availability
• RoHS compliance is mandated by regulatory or customer requirements
• Board edge mounting with right-angle orientation is mechanically compatible with the application

88916-207 may be retained when:

• Existing inventory is available and supply is not constrained
• Legacy system compatibility requires the original through-hole mounting configuration
• RoHS non-compliance does not conflict with application requirements

Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical core specifications (6 positions, 4.00mm pitch, 2-row configuration, rack and panel style, receptacle usage), ensuring functional interchangeability when mounting geometry permits.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 88916-207LF directly replace the 88916-207 in existing assemblies?

A: Functional replacement is possible because both parts share identical position count, pitch, row configuration, and connector style. However, the 88916-207LF includes board edge and right-angle mounting options not present in the original 88916-207. Verify that your PCB layout and mechanical envelope accommodate the right-angle mounting variant before substitution.

Q: What is the significance of the RoHS compliance difference?

A: The 88916-207 is RoHS non-compliant, while the 88916-207LF is RoHS Compliant. If your application, customer, or region requires RoHS compliance, the 88916-207LF is the appropriate selection. Both parts maintain identical MSL rating (1, Unlimited).

Q: Why is the 88916-207 listed as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the part is no longer in active production. The 88916-207LF represents the current active production variant within the Metral® series. For new designs or ongoing production, the 88916-207LF is the recommended selection.

Q: Are contacts included with either part?

A: No. Both the 88916-207 and 88916-207LF are supplied without integrated contacts. Contacts must be sourced separately and installed according to Amphenol ICC specifications.

Q: What packaging is available for the 88916-207LF?

A: The 88916-207LF is supplied in bag packaging. The original 88916-207 packaging specification was not provided in the technical data.
